2017 Sunny Corner Trail Bike Ride

7 years ago | Words: Grant O'Brian

Thinking of going? Well, it’s not too late to enter this weekend’s epic trail bike ride.

If you’ve never ridden a Sunny Corner Trail Bike ride – presented by Yamaha Motor Australia – you’re definitely missing out on one hell of a fun weekend in the dirt. For 2017 the event promises to be the best to date thanks to three trail loops that will leave you smiling from ear-to-ear.

The North and South loops will be approximately 50-60km’s each in length and the new West loop will be about 30km’s. All three Loops will open at 8:00am on Saturday and Sunday and will take around 2 – 3 hours to complete. Loops will close between 1:00pm and 2:00pm depending on weather conditions.

There is the normal mix of easy/hard splits so if you’re not super confident or are getting a bit on the weary side, you can avoid those extra technical sections and meet your mates at the next re-join point. Most trails feature tight pine tree lined single trails, as well as some fire trails, some challenging sections to test the more experienced riders, and the surface is ever changing from loam to rock, and from sand to mud.

You can ride any combination of loops on either the Saturday or the Sunday – it’s up to you, and for those that want to cut loose on Saturday night, there’s the legendary bonfire and live band for the groovers.

Online entries have now closed but they will still be accepted in person on the day of the event as long as the allowed number of riders has not already been reached.

Never ridden this event before or just want to know more? See Sunny Corner’s FAQ’s page.

PRIZES INCLUDE:

– Yamaha WR450F – Fitted with a stack of GYTR Performance parts
– Yamaha EFI2400 Generator
– MMG 3 Bike Fully Enclosed Bike Trailer
– Two Yamaha PW-50 Minibikes

YAMAHA DEMO BIKES

Yamaha will also bring along to the event a range of Yamaha demonstrator bikes that can be test ridden around a short dedicated “Yamaha Test Loop”. This is a great opportunity to test ride your choice of Yamaha’s finest dirt bikes in real world conditions.
