Title: Launch to Powelltown 5/5/12 Level 2+ Post by: Yarra_Valley on March 26, 2012, 09,20:38 AM The Yarra Valley to Powelltown ride.
Saturday May 5th. I normally run this ride from my house but I will not be able to provide enough parking. So we will leave from Launch Reserve. Riding to Powelltown Hotel ( Powelly Pub ) and back. Approx. 105km all up, inc all the extra's I have up my sleeve. Fuel at the pub @ $2.50 a litre ( I normally get 1 litre and that is heaps ). You need to let me know how much you may need so I can let them know - fuel is premium UL. BIG Track combo on this ride - it has every thing ! Red clay, loam, bog holes, BIG log hoppin, big hills, mega rocky rutty stuff, open smooth fast stuff and some nice 'narrow tracks' that are tighter than a nuns :o ...... Going by the law Full Reg bikes are a must, but all of my friends who do this ride all have rec reg so it's you're call. I, nor AMTRA will be responsible for you're own actions and decisions where you ride and what you ride. Limit is 20 riders. ROB IS NOW LEADING DUE TO ME HAVING TO WAIT A MONTH FOR MY NEW VALVES TO COME IN !!! Not happy. Meeting here at 9am in lower car park - leave at 9:30am SHARP ! I don’t wait if ya late so make sure you are ready. Be back at the cars about 3pm. http://maps.google.com.au/maps?saddr=Lilydale,+Victoria&daddr=Unknown+road&hl=en&sll=-37.78469,145.558591&sspn=0.027846,0.082397&geocode=FZPdv_0did6pCCmbh5e59S7WajEg1IwhdVYEBQ%3BFephv_0dSDitCA&oq=Wi&mra=dme&mrsp=1&sz=15&t=m&z=15 2.5km of Black top riding and 1k of dirt road to the tracks - warms up the bikes nicely. Those with Rec Reg that want to come and are worried about Mr Plod can park here on the corner, or down the dirt road section of Parkinson road – no further than 0.8k. http://maps.google.com.au/maps?saddr=Lilydale+VIC&daddr=Parkinsons+Rd&hl=en&ll=-37.809648,145.608501&spn=0.027836,0.066047&sll=-37.817005,145.610776&sspn=0.013917,0.033023&geocode=FZPdv_0did6pCCmbh5e59S7WajEg1IwhdVYEBQ%3BFR79vv0dZcetCA&oq=Parkinsons&mra=dme&mrsp=1&sz=16&t=h&z=15 You will have to park on the side of the road and please don't park in front of horse paddocks with horses in them! You will need to be ready no later than 9:35am – that’s gear on, and bikes warmed up ready to follow us. You can have lunch on the trail just before the pub and you will have to carry you're own fuel. Ride will be off if the weather is crap ( I don't want to get my hair wet :P ) Yazza List of Crazy people !! ME!
