AMTRA.com.au

If you like high country type riding but hate traveling 5hrs to Abbeyard then this is the ride for you.
Cheynes bridge is only 1.5 hrs from Pakenham. Saturday the 29/1/11 We will be meeting at Cheynes bridge at 9.00am and on the bikes for 9.30am and riding to Rawson were we will refuel and have lunch at the Rawson pub and then ride back to Cheynes bridge covering around 160klm.
Some of us are planning on camping there on the Saturday night so you are most welcome to do the same. Some of our family's are going to camp there also so yours can do the same if you wish.
The entry's for this ride are limited as we do not want 2 many hold ups so I am limiting the numbers to 15 so get your entry in early.
There is a great river there so a wash and dip after the ride will be on the cards and a good camp fire to bench race around and have a few quite drinks.
As for the ride I will put the level at clubman as there is some very big erosion mounds and some very steep ups and downs and very rocky trails so it is not for the faint hearted, but level 2 plus riders should be able to step up to the plate on this ride.
Rec reg bikes are welcome, but at your own risk, we do need to ride into Rawson for refuel and lunch, so you have been warned, COME AT YOUR RISK.
The pace will be averaging around 40ks and hr.
You will need some money for fuel and lunch and lots of hydration fluid as it may be hot on the day.
If camping you will need all your usual camping gear etc.
Any questions either PM me or give me a call on 0414354317. Will
Please note that the ride is the official AMTRA event, the camping is not, it is just a bunch of friends and family taking an opportunity to socialise and camp out and my AMTRA friends are welcome to join in.

Doesn't Dave ride a 570, yeh those 570's are a bit on the Slow side, "if only they made a 700 like ATK,all  would be much better".

ATK 700 Intimidator:

Based on the latest technology from the folks who built the famed Maico/M-Star motors, the Intimidator (good name!) has a piston big enough to use to mix paint in.

Hey Budda it was still quick enough to roost over you and the Ikea bike, but come to think of it you only did only a third of the last HTFU ride because it was broken.
I think its all those secondhand parts you keep putting on the Husqvarta ( or is that a battery??) ;)

it only broke from pushin it to its limits, i cant help if my ikea desiger cant keep up to my clubman efforts . righto will make that list bigger i need to show this lad how its done  ;D

now ive really pushed to its limits , from the sound its makin , pedro recons it might be bottom end bearings. anyway dont have the finances to fix it right now so will have to bail on this ride . hopin to get it fixed by the time buller to abbeyard rolls around ta seano out of action

Sorry to hear mate, the only good bike is the ones that are going.

Seano, not good news about the ikea bike mate :(
Hope you get it back into shape soon and back on the trails.
;) Thanks for your spot. I could make a joke about the secondhand parts, but I wouldn't do that to you buddy. ;D

thanks dave , at least the spot goes to a worthy recipient,make sure enjoy it for me wontcha   ;D 8)

Hi Will, can you place my son Sean (just got his 'L's' on the 5th, but rides a wr450 07)and me on the standby list pls. I want him to come along and join the amtra family if there's room on this one. If not, no problem he'll have to wait.

Cheers,
Stuart.

Guys, we have a few on the substitute riders list, so for those who are on the attendees list, can you please confirm that you are coming, as I would hate for someone to miss out due to a spare spot. Will
