Gday Brad,

Will it be two loops mate back at the cars half way for fuel, or need to carry some extra in the pack.

Sorry if a noob obvious question mate,

Rod.

This time the plan is to head off and not return until the end carrying so fuel will be needed if you can't do 120K's on a tank. By doing this we can explore some new territory!

Ok cool thanks mate

Sounds good,should be there :)

Hey Bradles, I might see if I can get out for a half day. At lunch time I can make my own way back to the cars....

OK Marc

Zeke

Hi Brad,

Never been on an AMTRA ride before. Are first timers welcome on this ride.

Cheers
Ash

Ok Will and Zeke lets hope the temp goes to low 20's.
Ash this is not a beginners ride (steep singles, rivers and drops)if you can ride OK not an expert (as most of us arn't) then come along to a L2 style ride!

Gidday Brad,
Yeh, would like to tag along for this ride. Will bring Marls Sherco. What's the average of fuel that everyone carries in their backpack? Should get around 100k's a tank.
Fred

Brad,

No problems with experience. I have been riding for about 8 years. I am getting fatter and slower as the years tick by though. I checked the Amtra ride levels and all seems OK.

I may bring one of my regular riding mates along if this is OK. Is it best to call you for directions or are you able to email them.

Cheers
Ash

Sounds good Ash see you guys Saturday

Fred good to have you back you did some of this last time expect to do 120K's most people carry an extra 1 to 2L of fuel depends on how thirsty the bike is? Put it this way it pays not to ever run out.

Looks kike the Sunday weather would be cooler, anyone want change, just kidding.

Forecast for Saturday a mixed bag!

Partly cloudy. Scattered showers. Isolated thunderstorms from midday. Winds northeast to northwesterly averaging 15 to 30 km/h tending south to southwesterly 20 to 35 km/h during the afternoon. Overnight temperatures falling to between 15 and 20 with daytime temperatures reaching 24 to 30.

Guys,
Currently have about a dozen starters I am aware of. The Plan is to ride over and in the Fumina area from Neerim South. As this is the first time we are doing this it may be a bit stop start as I keep track on the map.

Directions to carpark are; head to Drouin on M1 then from M1 aka Princess Hwy exit left after the 110 zone starts onto Mt Baw Baw/Neerim South exit are head to Drouin i.e. Robin Hood Hotel and navigate your way onto the C426  the Main Neerim Rd, follow signs to Neerim South.
At Neerim South TR at roundabout (onto Neerim East Rd) and continue just past the Caravan Park TR onto Latrobe River Rd. Follow signs to trail bike unloading area (Called Latrobe TVA on DSE map)

If your coming from the Lillydale side of town through Yarra Junction TR before Noojee to Neerim South. At Neerim South TL at roundabout (onto Neerim East Rd) and continue just past the Caravan Park TR onto Latrobe River Rd. Follow signs to trail bike unloading area (Called Latrobe TVA on DSE map)
For more directions (see attached Latrobe TVA map)

Brad, will be there if I can get my bearings changed today.

Mat.
