Feb 2nd 2013
1/4  throttle- Slow and steady is me.
 1/2  throttle- Nice pace, but i need some breaks.
 3/4  throttle- Now were talking, a few breaks and i am happy.
 Full throttle- I go all day, a quick stop is all i need.
 On the limiter- this is the valve bouncing racing mode! I ride like there's no tomorrow!
 
Ride terrain:
 
1-    Loads of fire trails, some easy hills.
 2-    Fire trails, with some tight trails, but nothing to hard.
 3-    Stepping  up now aren’t we, more challenging tighter trails, some  logs and some nice hills to play on.
 4-    Bog holes, ruts, rocks, logs, huge hill climbs and decents, i like it  all.
 5-    Anything goes, bring it on.


1/4 to 1/2 and a 2

Sorry John, but Bob and I can't make this one,,  :'(
 Wishing you all a great days riding,,, have a blast!

Hi John,
If this is still happening, me and my young bloke would be up for camping out.

Hi, I have been searching the net for somewhere legal for my son and I to ride this weekend and have stumbled upon your ride day.

I will be a new member, can I just do this online?

I am assuming on private property? My son is 12 and is moving from a 140 to a 250 and will need a little bit of time to adjust.

We are both fairly new to riding but are very keen. My son would love a feed (I will look after myself as allergy prone and a pain to feed)  and we would like to chuck a swag down and stay Saturday night if on offer?

Thanks,

Cameron

Hi John

Hi John
I'm new to the club and looking forward to meeting some new riders. If you could include me in for Saturdays ride that would be great, a feed would be good too. looking forward to meeting you guys on saturday.
Greg F.

Hello Cameron

You can join up online as far AS I know

You are quite welcome to to come on Saturday but I am not sure if any one is camping Saturday night as it could be just you and the roo's
as it will most likly be a total fire ban I would not count on a camp fire and the like.
John T 

Thanks John,

Well I shall look forward to a day trip.

What time should we arrive and what can we bring?

See you Saturday :)

We start around 8.30 9.00 am
a chair
a hydration pack of some sort
See you then
John T

See you on Saturday John, and yes to a feed.

Thanks for a great day John, as new members my son and I had a great day! Thanks to everyone for all the help and advice I got with my dodgy husky too. See you next time :D

Dodgy Husky! I had a ball on it! If you don't want it i will have it!  8)
I liked it so much that i am thinking about buying a TC

 ;D From Steve and Damon. Thanks for a great day and helping Damon to learn the clutch!  8)

Thanks John for the day really enjoyed it , it's a great place to work on ironing out some technique bugs plus a great opportunity to make some minor suspension and tuning adjustments and then give them a run .

Also nice to see the kids all improving and some of them have even move up to clutch style bikes amazing how quick they learn.

Mods on the track are great , the next time you work on it you should post a working bee I am sure a group would be more than willing to lend a hand .

Cheers

Thank's again for another "John T Ride Day", all the Clarke family had a ball !

Thanks John for a great day  ;) One thing that stood out for me for me was who was watching over the youngsters ? Everyone was. Even the kids would help each other out. My young bloke had a bit of a stoush with a tree and within seconds there was help offered by others. I met some great people which capped of a great day. 

Thanks again to the Theisz family for use of the property ,as usual we had an absolute pearler of a day ;D :D
thankyou uncle ted and tammy for cooking our lunch :-*
The Douglas clan 8)

My 1st ride day with AMTRA and it was great.
Thanks to the riders that led me through the bush, especially on that first loop. It was slow at times but it was good fun.
Thanks to Ted & Tammy for a great lunch.
Hope to see you all again soon.

Cheers
Neil

Welcome aboard Neil
Coming from Motocross to trail riding has a few things to get use to as I followed you for a while can’t say you’re not enthusiastic.
 The way you went thru the creek, I even tensed  a bit but you pulled it off without hitch.
I believe you where with John T ,Peter R ,Nathan ,Dave  and AL ,
Al showed you where the track went anyway sounds like your first impression of AMTRA was a good one
John T
