After missing a year it's back on again.

Weekend at the club property at Abbeyard, a ride going out each day. I'd call the riding around Abbeyard level 2.

Breakfast for both days and dinner (Megga Webber) catered for at around $25 a head. 

Yes please x 2

I almost started a list with you + one on it but I thought I'd see how long it took you two to get on board... less than an hour and it was put up at 10:10pm on a Saturday night :o  ;) 

I should be good to come up that weekend

Yes please Tim - Refresh my memory, is this near your birthday?

Count me in Tim plus maybe 2 or 3 others enjoy this weekend each time I go plus will be my last ride for 6 or 7 months

Yes Ken, the first one was 2005, 40.

I'm fairly sure it's been run every year apart from last year.

From 2005

Is that hayden in dirt bike gear...  :o

They must be old photo's

He's in Tassie at the moment!!!
It's been a while since i have ridden with him, i think the last time he just bid a big bore to the Husky!!

So on which day do we sing "happy birthday"?

The amazing thing about the upside down ute was that they got the 2 bikes off the back while it was still upside down, if I remember correctly, and rode them on the weekend - unbebloodylievable!!

I can almost taste that red Tim.

Hey Thomo - are you going on holiday for 6 - 7 months?  Nobody does that - do they?

Pee Air - "bid a big bore to the Husky"  Please Explain?

Tim is it okay to bring 2or3 visitors that are keen to join amtra one being a lady that came on my last ride that managed the whole ride okay 

. Ken getting all metal work out of my leg doctors orders for at lest 6 months

Sure,not a problem Anthony.

That sounds painfull Anthony

me too Tim  ;D looking forward to an Abbeyard ride !!

Chris

Make it the week after! I'm racing that weekend  :(

I can't do it the weekend after, I'm racing the weekend after :P

I'm not racing either weekend, so I will be along.

Hey Rowen are you really racing or just another track day?

Tim - have you finished something in your shed to go racing with?

Can we go to the 9/9/2006 lookout again?

Ken the day we sing happy birthday is not on that weekend.

 As for racing, every weekend is a race to try and get done the thing I hope to do, I don't often win! This weekend I hope to have a good weekend I should get that done.

We'll have to see how the weather is that weekend Ken to see if we can get to the top of Gunn’s track where we were on 9/9/2006. It's well over 1600m up there and there might be some white stuff trying to stop us, but that could be fun too.

Hi Tim

Would like to be included on the Abbeyard weekend. Should be back from 3 months holiday by early August and this will be my first ride with the club....

1600m should be OK, the practice run in snow at 5400m on the Enfield went well.

yes tim david knight will be their and rod wingewright said he is going sorry david knight could not make your desert ride my not so talented twin took his place see ya their

I thought Knighter was with us later in the ride, he sure wasn't with us Saturday morning :P

Just remember D.K..... Light beer and early to bed!

It will never happen!!

It did Sunday night, i saw it!
Al

Add a Cam S to the other 14 starters.

hi Tim I am thinking off coming for the weekend with 2 mates they are not in the club but are interested in joining is that ok or is it club members only thanks peter :)

This weekend is not a members only ride so bring em along ;)

Plus 3 = 18

To everyone who has said they are a starter, this weekend is coming around soon, if there are any changes to numbers please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks.   

Not looking good for me anymore it apears i have a birthday
on that i have to go to.
Im counting my browny points to see if i can get out of it so i can come up the block.

All being well I will be there early arvo - will I have to open the shop?

Maybe, but the Benella boys might be infront of you or even Cam S.
 

We will be there about 6 or 7 o'clock.

Is the posted Abbeyard access info up to date?

Will I be able to build a fire under the awning?

Have the women been ordered?

Yes.

No, in front of the awning is okay but not under it, get two fires going in two separate fire drums.

No, that's your job.
 

A bit of smoke stain is "Character"

2 fires! who's not talking?

hey anthony once the metal is out you will feel like a new man more mobility big improvement good to catch up and have a light beer or 3 but make it quick i now go to bed at 9 pm

                 david knight

We don't have to crowd around one ;)

guys the shed will not burn but you may destroy the insulation if it gets too hot or has too many sparks. built the fires outside the roof line please.

Did'nt we get the heat proof insulation?

Hi Tim

I had a lot of fun with you guys at Daylesford so please count me in sounds like an awesome event Cheers Rudi

Will do Rudi.

Add Rudi plus Lynton, the number is at twenty.

Tim put me down for 3 people,be up friday night.Dennis bed 9PM funny see you their.Hoping it will help leg lets hope so. 

2006 Hmm !  It seems longer!.
   Tweedle dee and Tweedle dum had a pretty miraculous escape. If they had been 20 feet earlier they would have been down in the creek.  Paul Smith and Peter Develee and some others were responsible for getting the bikes out by removing the wheels, in the rain and upside down.
   Tweedle Dee went on to crash badly on the Cobbler track the following day. Ted and myself remained to keep him company and get assistance.  We enlisted Cameron Stewart and Willie Graham to pick him up, but they got hopelessly bogged on the cobbler track. It was almost dark when we finally got a 4 wheel with real tyres to pick him up and take him to Wangaratta hospital.
   The following evening I took Tweedle Dum back to Melbourne with all their gear.
   It was a great weekend there should be more of them.

Tim - just checking on whats in the cupboards of the new shed? Cutlery, crockery, pots n pans, will the stove and BBQ be active, how about lights and fire wood and tools in the shed???
Cheers

In a word Ken, Yes! Apart from the fire wood, last time I was there I left some undercover in the firewood shelter that's just above the wood pile, if it's been used and not replaced then the only wood is what's not covered.

Hey Tim,I've checked the weather forcast for next week.I hope you aren't planning on any river crossings!!!!!!!

I'm heading out to Strathbogie this afternoon to get a ride in before the weather turns to crap.

You know my sence of adventure Rob :o it's only water!

We'll have to see what next weekend brings us.

The problem is my headlight doesn't work very well under water!Maybe I need to take a torch to get home ;) ;) ;)

Had great fun out at Stathbogie.The riding conditions were perfect.

All set, kids are out of the finals.

Anyone want to share a ride leaving afternoon Friday from Port Melbourne up via Hume? Return sometime Sunday afternoon.

Count me in again, ill be there late friday

How many brownie points did that take?

No ;D

The numbers at the moment are somewhere between 17 and 20, I'm waiting on the final word from a few.

Food, two X breakfast and one dinner will be catered for.

We'll have to see what the weather does for us for the rest of the week before we decide on where we're riding, I do have a plan, just need to see how much water is in the river as to the execution of that plan!
     

hi tim 3 off use will be there fri lunch time see you then thanks peter

Hi Tim just to confirm, will be there Friday lunch time cheers Rudi.

So we're at twenty, I will not get there till later in the afternoon Friday, got a bit of running around to do Friday morning buying stuff.
There should be a few there friday lunch time, maybe Ken will take you for a run to Cobbler or you could just sit around and relax!
People will need their own food for Friday night, the BBQ is there.

Tim,   I am coming up on Sat, sadly without bike, still not enough legs !!. Do you want me to bring anything??

Phil R.

Phil - I'v been too busy to organise the women - you bringing the wagon?

PS. Dont forget the Port, from memory (very blurred) it's your turn!!!

Great to have you up there Phil, bring an appetite ;)

    The bulk part of the food buying is done, a few things and the meat to get tomorrow. Oh, and cold refreshment!

Looks like the weather will be good for us, possible snow down to 1700m Friday and a few showers, Saturday and Sunday both mostly sunny ;)

The river is a problem ??? Bit of water up there this week but we'll still get in a good ride going out the top end of the valley.

I hope to be there 5 ish, just to ensure Ken is does not get out of hand.
