Hey all,

A quick update from us here.
Thanks for the patience and messages of over the last few months. It's been tough not opening when so many are keen to ride here again.

We are currently having some down time from our ride days as we decide the future of the business. We hope to run some events throughout the winter but are accessing things currently and are busy with other work after a few tough years.

Thanks heaps for all the support to date. We hope to host you again soon.

Cheers Luke

Thanks heaps to those who have ridden with us in 2025. Not sure where the year went and hard to believe we’ve operated the PTP for 5 years! 🤯

I know this can be a bit punishing sorry, but we’d really appreciate riders to take the time to complete this survey to help us improve moving forward.

Thanks heaps for you time and have a great Summer, Christmas & New Years.

Cheers Luke & Sjaan

Thanks heaps for taking the time to provide some valuable feedback. We're searching for ways to improve your riding experience here at PTP.

Hey Team *Sunday 2nd November briefing*

Weather Forecast: Fine with some cloud and light winds but warm.

Trail Conditions: Main green loop has been groomed and dozer work on some hards. The Weather has definitely changed things over the last month and there will be dust in places, the winter bogs are now just slightly soft spots that have come up mint and the previously slippery hill climbs are awesome and flowy.

Trail Layout: Longer main/green loop than last month with hard and expert options. A lot of the hards are all good for the little guys on say on a CRF70 up, they are just not groomed but be nice riding for the whole family.

Lunch: BYO please. Choc bars and drinks available at the office.

Medic: Peak Safety on site please see them if you have any issues.

Sign on at the office from 8:30am. Eftpos available. Trails open once medic is setup and trails swept by around 9am.
Pre-ride waiver (only if you haven’t completed the Jotform before)

*Sunday 5th October briefing*

Weather Forecast: Spring Weather so who knows. Looks to be fine with a slight chance of light drizzle after lunch.

Trail Conditions: Initially wet and slippery in places so extra caution on your first lap until things rip up and it should come good.

Trail Layout: We have made available a shorter Green loop approx 10kms that has no bogs or difficult hills for the little guys. The main longer 20km loop has become Pink for Sunday due to a few slippery hills and approx 4 Experts open (one is a new one).

Lunch: BYO please. Choc bars and drinks available at the office.

Medic: Peak Safety on site please see them if you have any issues.

Sign on at the office from 8:30am. Eftpos available. Trails open once medic is setup and trails swept by around 9am.

Hope everyone is having a great week.
👁 We're keeping one eye on the rain that's expected Fri-Sat that seems to be decreasing as it comes in.
✅ At this stage we're all systems go for our Sunday 5th October ride. We will update on FB if anything changes.
Trails will be similar to last month with another few change ups to have options to avoid a couple of bogs if needed.
Hopefully see you Sunday for a hoon!

*Sunday 14th September briefing*

Sorry for the late one guys, it’s been a big day!

Weather Forecast: ☀️ and ☀️ we will get some wind but it’s sheltered in the bush and will help dry out the trails.

Trail Conditions: Wet in places, some muddy parts in the bush and some areas we’re having to avoid so a few last minute changes. The Sun and Wind should turn on good conditions.
Main green loop has been groomed and some of the hards.

Trail Layout: Huge changes from Julys ride. Please take extreme care on your first lap, nice and slow and observe all arrows as there are some unexpected treats just for tomorrow. We might be able to open up some closed areas later in the day but the layout will be awesme as is.

Lunch: Stoked to have on site with delicious treats and coffee.

Medic: Peak Safety on site please see them if you have any issues.

Sign on at the office from 8:30am. Trails open once medic is setup and trails swept by around 9am.
