Default Desert Storm II: The great chilly

So, 2 Desert Storms in a year ae. Whos going down, or up, or across?

Should be good if the dust can stay away, which I think was kind of the idea behind having it in winter/spring.

Um...er.. well... um.. not me. There's no way I'm going to eat a pie that's made in Ausfkinstralia, and to be honest, the thought of sittin in a car for 4 hours and not eating a pie is just too daunting, so, nah, I can't see it happening.
Did you/anyone go to the Dead Toad?
Rides are a bit scarce this time of year aren't they?
Looking foward to lambing finishing so I can get back up the farm...

Definetly maybe.Never done it,so should make an effort.Injury is sort of coming right.Tarawera trail ride was on Sunday,excellent tracks.Trailblazer this Sat.
I never made the pie connection with Aussie when I was tucking into a wombat & vege or Thai green curry goana?

Didn't do the dead toad, but there weren't a heck of a lot of entries though ~50 or so. I blame too many pies + too much beer, resulting in a general lack of fitness which could be attributed to the student way of life I suppose. A friend of mine who is about the same pace finished 1st in class, and 19 overall. He shouldn't really have been in novice though.
Did find a neat video of the Toad though http://vimeo.com/28593735

We are probably going to arrange a house to stay at 5min from the event, so as too avoid the rain/cold. Theres heaps of room, so if anyone was interested just say so, be about $25 a night pp.

I did DS 1 earlier this year, and the tracks were a lot of fun, really flowing trails, a few expert bits. The biggest problem was dust, well that and quads. So, if the dust was gone it would be a good ride, its worth going to just to watch the high jump and enduro cross event they have on saturday night.
