Level 1 Training ride Neerim South.
Ok this one is aimed at Level 1 riders or anyone who wants to hone the skills or anyone who wants to come along and pass along there riding knowledge. The day will consist of riding to some of the Neerim hills and practicing going up and down with instructors standing by to answer any of your questions or direct you in the best possible way to ride your bike up or down. We will then head off and find some bog hole's and teach you the best way to get around or thru them. Our aim is not to put you in danger but rather teach you how to stay out of danger. We will talk about rider position, bike set up, clutch control and safety equipment.
We will try to get most of it done in the morning ride and then head back 2 the cars for lunch and fuel top up and then maybe tackle some of the slightly harder stuff in the afternoon.
This is a very social ride, with plenty of stops,and time for stories and laugh's.
As this is a training ride it is really for members only so I suggest you join the club to get the most from this day members are welcome and bikes must be registered, Rec reg is fine for this ride.
If you want 2 attend this ride I need to know sooner than later so I can organise our trainers also when booking your spot please tell me if you are coming to learn or teach.
We meet at the DSE Latrobe River Rd Trail Bike unloading Sunday the 13th of June 8.am for a 8.30am start onto the trails and back for lunch then back out again and finish up around 4 to 4.30pm. Rec Reg welcome. Full tank of fuel for each session. Plenty of fluid for hydration and trail snacks and some cold beer for your trainers after the riding has finished.
These sort of rides do not happen to often so if you are just starting out or maybe coming back to the sport after a break book your spot early and do not miss out.
If your coming and for directions(see attached Latrobe TVA map)
For the guys who have not been to Neerim before I will meet you at the East bound BP on Princes Hwy at Long Warry for 7.15am for a 7.30am departure from the BP. Note I will be parked at the rear of the servo in the truck parking bays. The servo is around 15 minutes past the last Pakenham turn off and it is just inside the 80klm speed zone. contact Will 0414354317

Hey guys,
I recently (read - yesterday) went on my first AMTRA ride into Cobaw and loved it. A couple of the guys mentioned this, and I was very interested in this. I suppose the only question is I dont have my membership yet as I was told by some of the guys to wait until July so I get the full year. Should I get a 2010 membership for June only or can I come without a membership as I will get one in July? Either way I'm not fussed so could you please count me in?
Mark

And if that does not work then you can always join up on the day, Will should be able to bring out a membership form.

Hello
I've just joined AMTRA and would like to come along for 13 June Training Day at Neerim Sth. I've not done any trail riding before, but have been riding a road bike for some time.
Could you please book a place for me or direct me as to how I may do so.
with regards
