Title: Abbeyard Weekend Aug 23-24
Post by: Tim Dykes on June 26, 2008, 11,16:24 AM
After not doing this weekend in 07 it's BACK! ;D
Two days of riding out from the club's property.
The MEGA WEBBA will be there for the Roast dinner on the Saturday night and bacon-and-eggs for sunday breakfast.
Expect about $15 a head will cover the two coure dinner and breakfast. BYO drinks.   
The riding will be level 2 with help given if we find some more interesting (white, cold, on top of the hills) stuff. We are limited to where we can go as a few of tracks in the area are closed but there is still plenty of others.
More details to follow, or ask any questions here.

Tim,

Sounds good so have it in the diary to get there, if only for one of the days riding and the overnight camping.  I am assuming rec reg suitable riding plans.  This time I will bring suitable gear for snow.

Mat.

Starting to get a few calls for the weekend with four starters so far. I think I had 16 to the 06 weekend, might be bigger this year!

Tim,

Still planning to come.  What sort of ride plan do you have for Sunday?  May have to leave mid-day on Sunday.

Should be there Friday night for riding on Saturday.

Mat.

With Chris and Mat and myself we're at 7.
The planed Sunday Ride will be up to lake Cobbler. It should be and early day as it's only about 70Km round trip but we have to use Worseldine as the Cobbler Lake-Abbeyard Tk is now seasonally closed. :(

No !

The permit application may be in though. Fingers crossed. When we have done that and got approval we can get quotes to do the other work that the council want. Soon after we can finalise the budget extension - then take it to the members - then proceed.

I am looking forward to making sure that the project is planned in advance of execution and that all conceivable outgoings are known before any more works are done.

Who knows, we might even be able to budget for a party (a few drinks and a snag or 5) in the new shed when it's finished.


I wonder if Zig and Zag will show up, roll their new ute crash their bikes and break bones again ?

AMTRA have a "try before you buy" that welcomes prospective new members to come along to a ride or two and decide if it's what they are looking for in a club.
Huski even people who are only thinking of joining are welcome!

Matt
Getting there Friday would be the best thing to do even if it's late even very late, at least your there and not rushed on the Saturday morning. In the past all of the people who have come do so on the Friday night.
I aim to leave for the Saturday ride at 9am.

Good to see you back Rob

Count me and Shaun in.

Rob, I knew you'd be a starter!

Okay were at 14 at the moment and I still expecting to hear from a few regulars. At this rate we could be looking at 25+ :o
Being such a big group I think the shed should not be used for sleeping. That way it's free to be used for the cooking and eating of dinner and space for everyone to socialise.

Has anyone got a gas patio heater that we can use for heating the shed for the weekend?

If anyone has a spare spot on their trailer for a bike I'd like to slip mine on there if possible.
I've got a 4500litre water tank to take up there and I'll be a bit short of room on the trailer for the trip up.
No worries with the trip back though.

Still looking for that patio heater.

Hello Tim,

So we need to feed ourselfs Friday night, Sat Breaky and Sat and Sunday Lunch times.

Is there anything else we need to bring up?  Is there drinking water there?

Do you know what condition the block is in?  Will I get bogged again?

Cheers,
       Chris

Chris

Yes, fend for yourselves for all food apart from Saturday Dinner and Sunday breakfast. Saturdays lunch will be on the trail.

There is rainwater there in tanks that I and most drink but some people don't. Bring whatever you need to be comfortable.

You wont get bogged if you stay on the gravel and even if you do go off it you should be okay as there hasn't been a hundred cars go in front of you!
