The Victoria Police Motor Sports Club over the last 34 years has run the famous Blue Light Ride. Unfortunately plans to continue the famous ride have been postponed due to Bush fires, logging and the DSE. However the club is still remaining active and promoting the sport by conducting a vintage enduro for bikes pre 1985. The event will be run on Sunday 29th August 2010 at Ruffy, in central Victoria.
Due to the popular emergence of older riders wishing to remain in the sport and caring for old bikes, the idea of this type of enduro is becoming popular. With a four leg series now being held in Victoria, this event at Ruffy, near Euroa on the Hume Highway, is an ideal location to attract both local and interstate riders.
The course will be run on private property consisting of undulating hills and valleys and a few rock gardens, logs, swampy creek sections, and grass track thrown in. Riders will be served up to complete 6 laps of the 30 minute course leaving in groups of 3 every minute just like the old days when Victoria conducted over 10 enduros for the year as part of the state series.
Bikes need to be trail orientated and quiet. Down pipes will definitely be a problem in the rock areas.
Organizer of the event Dave Robbins said, “We have marked out a great course to test the riders over a variety of terrain, everything you could want out of a track. This will test their skills and bikes and make it worth the journey and effort to get there.”
Camping is permitted at the site, and the whole weekend promises to be great fun with a challenging ride thrown in.
