AMTRA.com.au

Yep lets see years on after the fires how the trails are.
Hope to start at the standard place by the bridge at Granton?
As this is a level 1 to 2 ride please respect your fellow riders, remembering we all have to start and learn somewhere. Take care if overtaking and if you are taking it easy try to keep a left line to allow for people to pass. Whatever you do ride at your own pace this is not a race just a good day out with some mates who all want the fun and to get home safe. P.S. The bike in front always has right of way.
Fuel for 100K's minimum and fuel is available in town at lunch for those with full registration. Lunch will be on the trails just out of town for Rec Reg and those with full reg can get food and fuel in town.
Call me to come on this or any of my rides Brad 0428580900

Hi Brad, can you put me down for this one.
Dave P

OK Dave look forward to seeing you and the big Berg.

Folks we will be riding into the Marysville township to provide the community with some much needed trade for lunch and fuel for fully registered bikes. The fuel here is self serve on a credit card ONLY style pump when its working.

For Rec Reg we will eat lunch (BYO) on the track and await the full reg riders return or you can wheel the bikes to and from the town (hard work up and down hills)
Hence for Rec Reg I will establish a communal 42L fuel drop at $5each for a 3L each top up. BYO 2 stroke oil and THE FUEL measuring containers are 1.5L. This will do 14 bikes, please bring the correct fuel money. NO payment NO fuel!

Ensure you have your actual (not copies) of license, registration and number plate the latter two need to be affixed to the bike in the appropriate places.

Don't forget to bring some money and credit card for lunch and fuel respectively.

Directions:
Turn onto the Marysville Rd off the Maroondah Hwy and continue until the Acheron River bridge, slow right down and look on LHS for a small dirt road which cuts back opposite direction of travel. To make this hook turn with a trailer you will need to swing out wide. Parking is down this road by the river. See attached map for the ride start location.

Note 1: Can you flag if you have Rec Reg so I know if 42L i.e. 14 bikes @ 3L each, is enough fuel. BTW this will be easier than collecting heaps of cans on the day and I can do the drop on the way there and home.

Note 2: Please let me know if you can't make it so I can manage the ride numbers and logistics. Aim to do 50 to 70K's AM and 30 to 50K's PM depending on how the ride tracks.

Note 3: Amend your first name and surname as appropriate so all the details are captured, this will save time on the ride day.

Have 7 Rec reg down for fuel top up.

Ride Full.
Please don't come along on an adhoc basis you need to be on this list, thanks for your understanding.

 

I'm rec reg, and whilst the 3L top-up would be great, I can carry a bit extra myself if you need the slot for someone else  - thanks!

Hi Brad,

Luke here my last name is Cameron, I am rec reg and would like to sign up for the fuel delivery.

Thanks mate

NP Luke

G'Day Brad, you may have to remove Mr Leo Giannini from your ride list. Stuart, Leo & I out went to Marysville yesterday, perfect riding conditions, although typical Marysille ice-skating once the rain came. After one of many Leo offs, I reckon he's busted a bone or two in his hand. There goes his love life  ;D ;D ;D

Ok Marc will do at least Leo can use the alternate Love strategy!

hi Brad, it seems that I missed this one ???  if a spot becomes available on the first group ride list it mine...

Cheers David..

Ride list now up to date

Please note that rider 13, Adam has kindly offered to go tailman. Please be aware there will be TWO tailman on this ride per AM and PM alternation of the pairs i.e 4 persons required in total.
Anyone else volunteering up front like Adam has, is greatly appreciated and note its easier working in AM/PM pairs rather than as a lone person.
Also radios will be issued per pair Ch 28 UHF @ 5Khz separation is assigned for the ride.

Hi Brad

Put me down for AM tail as well.

Darren

Multiple replies:
Thanks Darren the offer is much appreciated.

Peter B you're on the list

Petrol at Marysville is Caltex via a card swipe system. There are two pumps which sell 91 RON fuel only.
The two 95 RON pumps are "Out of Order" i.e. NO 95 RON fuel.
Some people may choose to carry a supplemental Octane booster available from Auto shops.

The fuel I am providing for Rec Reg is Caltex 98 Ron.

Yes Please Brad. Put me down for a job as required.

Ken,
Are you sure?

Ouch!! Yes I know I sometimes move but like you said "It's good to have choices"
I am keen to re-visit Marysville so I will give you a definate - Allah and KTM willing.

 Updated list

NP Ken just using the stirring stick.
BTW went their Sunday and despite the rain had a great time, had forgotten how good the place is to ride.

G'day. Just read about your club in a magazine and keen to do a ride.
Can I ride with you as a "guest" or do i need to join up-and is there room left on the Marysville ride?
I have fully regoed bike.
Kev

Kev,
You can come along as a guest for a couple of rides to see what its all about and then make a decision about joining AMTRA.
I will put your name down for this ride hope you can make it on the day.

Brad, excellent. Thanks. I've seen the directions/ instructions so assuming there is nothing else I'll see you on the day.
Kev.

Perhaps I've missed it but what time do we meet please?
Kev.

Added you Kev please download the attached map for location details and here is the text on how to get there.
Directions:
Turn onto the Marysville Rd off the Maroondah Hwy and continue until the Acheron River bridge, slow right down and look on LHS for a small dirt road which cuts back opposite direction of travel. To make this hook turn with a trailer you will need to swing out wide. Parking is down this road by the river. See attached map for the ride start location.

Thanks Brad.
I'm still not sure what time to show up. I'm driving from Geelong and need to work out a start time.
Thanks mate.
Kev

Ned,

Can't see the start time, you may need to ring Brad - his number is on the first post.

From the Westgate Bridge, going up Hoddle to the Eastern and then off at Springvale and along the Maroondah, it takes 1.5 hours to get to the ride start point. Add to that how long it takes you to get to the Westgate. Not a bad run at that time of the morning.

Takes about 1/2 hour longer to get back with traffic and usually being a bit stuffed from riding.

Hope you enjoy the day.

Mat.

Meet at the start location at 8.30 for 9am onto the trails.

Beauty.
Thanks. Will be there. I have another mate interested if he is allowed (by the wife) to come. Any probs with that? looking forward to the ride.

Ok Ned

Bradles..  I am sorry but I have to bail on this one, i double booked this weekend, We have doonstock at our caravan park during the same period. Have a good one..
David...

Hey David - did I read that correctly - you have a caravan park?

Please put me on ride list.
mark o full reg. :)

Multiple replies:
Marko you are on the list and Dave you are off, enjoy Bonnie Doon/Eildon

Brad,

Pls put me down for this ride. I am rec reg and will need fuel if available.

Thx again for another well organised ride yesterday.

George Sanos

Got you down George and also for fuel.
BTW you rode well yesterday, glad you enjoyed it.

This ride is now FULL.

If you can't make it for some reason please let Brad know.

Please do not turn up 'on spec' expecting to join the ride.

Brad, my mate is a near certain starter. name is Mark, full rego.
Thanks,
Ned

OK Ned I have put his name next to the place holder.

Hi Brad, won't be able to make this ride still waiting on Doctors ok

Ron

Ron,
Thanks for letting me know, take care and hope to see you out soon.

To all,
  We all should be aware that the small parking area that we intend to use has in the past been a filling point for the CFA tankers.(I can't remember if the sign is still there).   
  If it is we should all be conscious of the need to keep the turning access open.
  Just a thought, would hate to fall out with those people !!.
Phil R.

Gday Brad can you put myself and Rohan down as reserves.

Cheers

Kurnol

Simon got you and Rohan on a reserve list

Simon had a couple of people advise they are unable to attend the ride. Thought I would let you know the good news before this weekend in case you want to spruce up the machines.

Thanks Brad, shes had plenty of sprucing, all issues now fixed, touch wood.

Simon,
I was referring to bling or plastics cleaning etc... not the reliability which is all good.

Good bunch of guys and no pressure. And plenty of help, Well organised thanks Brad and the other leaders and sweepers.
Hope the wrist goes ok. At least it's not the throttle hand!
What level on the AMTRA grading scale did the ride turn out to be?
