Default Cairns Scale Crawlers

There is a small group of us that get together regularly to crawl trails. Most of us run Wraiths but any 1.9 or 2.2 more than welcome.
Our regular trails are Palmers at Freshie, Stoney Creek, Marinos and Barron Gorge.
PM me for details and I'll post up some planned outings , if we can get a few more of us together a G6 style event would be the goal

No worries , all fixed now.
We'll try for a run up Glacier soon. It's a bit of an epic trail so you will need some extra electricity !!

Went up Palmers with the "little wheels" on the weekend , my 1.7 SCX rubi and Shauns 1.5 TF2 . All the trails that are a breeze with a 2.2 are suddenly really challenging, a great morning out.
