Yes another year has slipped by Cup weekend at Abbeyard. Four days family camping at the property.
 
NO MINI BIKES WITHOUT A PERMIT

See this for club rules on mini bikes at the club property http://www.vinamtra.com.au/forum/hat-you-need-to-know/ini-bike-rules-and-code-of-conduct-for-abbeyard-t1572/?action=dlattach;attach=606 (http://www.vinamtra.com.au/forum/hat-you-need-to-know/ini-bike-rules-and-code-of-conduct-for-abbeyard-t1572/?action=dlattach;attach=606)

The emphasis of the weekend is family camping not riding mini bikes ;)

Various rides are happening, probably 4X4 touring by others.

Well I am going to try to make it this year, though probably only the Fri-Sun as the boys have a cup day event at their school on the Monday.

Hi Tim, is there good areas for the kids to ride around on there bikes which comply with the permit rules within the property. Regards from Will

I did some laps around the mini bike loop at the other side of the block on the weekend. condition is better than i thought.
Not for the beginner but, I would do a walk around and trim a few branches and maybe fill in the gran canyon in the back corner but with maybe an hours work it would be back in great condition for a kids.
Id class it as clubman single track with no trees to get over at the present time  8)

see you up there cup weekend

It really depends on the skill of the rider, if they are just learners and more or less idling around they can get around on the vehicle tracks, the new learners don’t go for hours on end and annoy.
For the advanced Mini bike riders the loop on the other side of Cobbler is the go, the loop needs to be gone around and checked and cleaned a bit.
For the intermediate ones there is not much there at the moment. A bit of thought needs to go into catering for them.

If little Johny is a crusty deamon or alternatively you want to get rid of him for the rest of the day / weekend send him to the mini bike track.

I'm tipping when you want him you will find him at the bottom of "Grand Ganyon" Dave mentioned.

So maybe instead of bringing my bike I should load the trailer  with some gardening tools and maybe an escavator and it sounds like a stick of dynamite may not go astray . Anyway enough of the jokes maybe the members who are planing on coming along with there kids and kids bikes should attend the working bee and help get it into shape ?If dates work with the home office in could be in for that. Will 

That is what it takes to keep any track open, a little bit of work. 

This weekend is one where there are no set rides, people get together and ride when and where they want as a group.

Saying that, these are my thoughts. Sunday I plan to take the family down into Wonangatta in the 4X4. BBQ lunch, more or less do the Sunday 08 HCR loop.
 
Monday is the big ride day, planning to meet up with the four day ride at the corner of the Alpine rd and the Dargo High Plains Rd, or near there. Ride the rest of the day with the group, lunch at Dargo and then onto Abbeyard. Expect a pre 7am start and about 250km!

That was a very quick change from "I don't intend to do any 4wding in it!"

Wonangatta from Abbeyard isn't four wheel driving! The only thing you need to do it is ground clearance.
 I recon I could have gone there in the HT but the family probably wouldn't have come.
If just I was going to Wonangatta I'd be on the bike, I'm taking the all the Dykes. Think of it as a bus trip.
Yes a 4X4 full of Dykes is going into Wonangatta Cup Weekend :o

Zeka Creek, that was four wheel drive :(
       

what if the bike has rec rego on it ???  is it ok to ride  at Abbeyard ??? ???

Yes

My daughters bikes have Rec Reg on them because it's cheaper than the TAC permit equivalent.

Thanks Tim
see you at Abbeyard what day are you getting up there

Mitch

Aiming for Thursday but not 100% yet.

we also should be there Thursday we will need  the gate key code please you can email me at xu15000@bigpond.net.au ;D

Hi Tim
Tell Nicole, that Nicola and Zac are looking forward to cutting a few laps around the campsite with your daugthers. ;D

Good one Rob, see you and Steve there.

Just to let people know, the rivers around Abbeyard have a lot of water in them at the moment. :o Please consider this for any riding your doing.


Still grinding ideas about the Monday ride, might have a very early start, ride Abbeyard-Dinner Plain(meet the boys for the start of their day, 9am!) -Dargo and back to Abbeyard, a 300+km day, I'll see what the Abbeyard starters think about that and talk to Shane on the Sunday night.   

We have a member coming up for the weekend with his family towing the camper.
He's short of space for a bike and is hoping some one heading up there may be able to help him out.
Anybody able to help?

were does he live ???

That's something I should have included in the request :P

Mooroolbark.

we live in bacchus marsh. way too far out of our way
sorry

This ride is happening, we're five at the moment.
Shane is going to have fuel for us at Dinner Plain.
Want to be out if the property well before 7am :o   

Dont know if im counted in that five Tim, but i will be there for the ride to Dinner plain to met the boys and request some fuel. Cheers Al

Only 2 more sleeps and we are on our way to Abbeyard ;D :D

Hello Tim, were exactly are you meeting the four day crew? I'll be up there that weekend and I'm thinking about meeting up as well.

Chris!

Dinner Plain.

We're coming from Abbyard and hitting the Alpine Rd at the toll booth.

Thanks to all for a great weekend.

Special thanks to all who helped out with our fridge disaster.
