Level 1 Training ride Neerim South Morning session only and afternoon ride will be Clubman Level.
Ok the morning ride is for Level 1 riders only and limited to 10 learners only plus anyone who wants to come along and pass along there riding knowledge. The morning 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 get back 2 the cars for lunch and fuel top up and the learners can go home and the afternoon ride will be a clubman ride so if you want to just come for the arvo that will be cool but it will be a tuff arternoon so do not exspect an easy ride in the afternoon.
I run very social rides, 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 Saturday the 3rd of July 8.am for a 8.30am start onto the trails and back for lunch at 12.30 and back on the bikes at 1pm 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 .
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.
I am only taking a small number this time so we can do more in less time.
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
We will also be going to the Pub for dinner so if you want to come for dinner let me know when you are putting your name down for the ride so I can book the Bistro.

Ok Level 1 in the Morning, Clubman in the Arvo.
I would like to know a bit more about what we call a clubman ride, and how many of these riders have been on a AMTRA clubman ride before. Cos a Clubman ride is set aside for Clubman Riders, not level 1 or 2 riders who think they are Clubman Riders. I'm a Level 2 rider at the moment, but before my broken leggy thing, i was and have been a Clubman/Expert Rider for quite some years.
I think we should all settle down a bit and really think about the grading of rides that are put up on the site, cos if a Clubman rider decides to attend this ride and it's a claytons/clubman ride, then it should be graded as a Level 2.

I would refer you to our own club standards and ask you to tell me why it would be a Claytons ride Pete ?
AMTRA rides are graded at 4 different levels.
The following is a description of each of the levels.
Level 1 For riders with little or no trail riding skills.
Level 2 For riders with skill levels above those of a beginner and usually easy rides with lots of
assistance given.
Clubman For riders with average skills and the ability to cope with most terrain and bike repairs
(Punctures, broken levers etc). Assistance given if required.
Experienced For riders with the ability to cope with all terrain with little or no help unless asked for.
Experienced grade rides usually cover long distances.
The last thing we want to do is take you out on your first AMTRA ride and have you not enjoy it. Consider your skill level
carefully and start out on an easier grade of ride. Remember that extremes of weather can change the level of a ride from
easy to hard and vice versa.
If you are unsure, contact one of the new member officers or ride leader for further information. Phone numbers are on
the front page or pre ride notices.

ok. question 1. After being in this club for approx 12 months, do you think your riding ability is of a clubman standard?
Question 2. Are you the ride leader?
Question 3. If not, who is?

Love Peter.

Lets be nice boys.
This is the description of a clubman ride. I should know as I wrote it many years ago.

Clubman For riders with average skills and the ability to cope with most terrain and bike repairs
(Punctures, broken levers etc). Assistance given if required.

If Will feels that he is able to meet the above then I suggest he could call himself a clubman rider. The standard does not mention ride speed, just an ability to cope with terrain and bike repairs.

Peter, I would still class you as a Clubman rider. You have the ability, perhaps just not the fitness needed to cover longer distances that make an experienced ride.

As I said I listed the ride as per the clubs own standards, yes I have average skills and can cope with most of the terrain at Neerim and I certainly have the skills required to repair just about anything that can go wrong on a motor cycle. Yes I am the ride leader and as I said you should come along and see what it is about before passing judgment. love Will i am
