Saturday 17th of September 2011 L1/L2.
Meet at the Glenburn servo at 8am sharp.
As this is a level 1 to 2 ride please respect your fellow riders. Take care if overtaking and if you are taking it easy try to keep a left line to allow for people to pass. Whatever you do ride at your own pace this is not a race just a good day out with some mates who all want the fun and to get home safe. P.S. The bike in front always has right of way.
Fuel for 115K's minimum NO fuel is available in the ride area. Lunch will be on the trails, Rec Reg welcome.
Call me to come on this or any of my rides Brad 0428580900

Ride Lists for all my rides have been migrated to the actual ride list that will be used on the day and those attending will no longer be shown as one list on the AMTRA web site.

Brad,

as discussed please put me down for a spot.

cheers

justin

Done Justin

Hey Brad slip me in ;I love the Black range. Rolf

Thanks for your note Rolf I have you down.

Please note lunch will be back at the cars with an opportunity to refuel or depart if required.

Fuel required for AM loop is about 70K's and PM loop around 50K's. Hopefully most people will NOT need to carry any fuel on the day just have extra available back at the cars.

BTW its BYO lunch and fuel.

If you need to buy lunch and a coffee or drink on the way and go through the Yarra Glen township I highly recommend the Bakery at the top of the hill where the traffic lights are for these items vs elsewhere in the area. Its on the RHS coming from Melbourne on the way to Glenburn or LHS from Eltham into Yarra Glen.
I will be here around 7.20am to stock up for the day.

Folks,
I am carrying some minor injuries at the moment so I am going to take it easy on the next few rides whilst they mend.
Hence I am rolling this back to its original L1/L2 ride level.

Hope the injuries are OK, it's not shaggers back is it??
I've heard that can be bad for you.....

Look's like there is a bit to much testosterone on this ride ...  Better throw in a blonde bimbo chick  :P

That's me !

 Cheers

 Yazza

P.S - at the end of the day can I borrow one of you guys to help load my bike  ;D ;D :D :D   :-*

 I think it's shaggers wrist  :D :D :D

You guys are harsh its strained tendons and a couple of joints I tested to the limits without breaking.

See you at tomorrow's meeting.

Sounds to me like you had a Couple of Joints, then fell over  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hey Brad, can i be added in for this one? Do you want me to call you as per your original post?? Dean.

Peter,
Ha Ha, If I knew where to get some I could Dr B-rad self perscrible it as medication to numb the pain or rather disconnect from it.

Dean put you on the list and yes please give me a short call to have a chat about the ride.

Brad

 Do I have to call you to chat about the ride ???

Please call me Dean unless you have been on one of my rides before.

Sorry Brad, haven't had a chance to call yet. Ive been on one ride with you which was on Saturday at Noojee. I'll call you tomorrow either way. Is it ok to call during business hours?

Call anytime

Sorry Em nearly missed your post got you down and we will help load your bike after the ride.

Folks in order to run the ride on time can't wait at the Glenburn servo past 8.10am, if you are late or want to go direct to where the ride starts from here is a map to help navigate your way to both locations.
1-The servo in Glenburn is on the LHS of the Melba Hwy meet here by 8am sharp, this is a rally point meeting place only.
2-The ride starts from the intersection of Myles and SEC roads at 9am'ish in the Black Range SF.

Map attached with notes.

Any issues call me or post it here.

Hey Brad - (damaged joints) did your new Husky fall out with you already?

No Ken I love my new Husky just need to get some more saddle time to enjoy it further

Hey Brad is there still room on this ride, hangin to smash some black range trail? Mick ktm 400exc

Ok Mick got you down its a L1/L2 casual ride this one.

please put me down,i will be bringing one other rider with me.

Ok Phill have you down plus one.

Hi Brad, could you please put my name dowm for this ride, Cheers, Justint

OK Justin

Well folks we are all in for an awesome day weather wise.

Finished mapping 80% of this new ride yesterday during a 1hr snow storm above 700M, absolutely freezing which meant we couldn't finish the route map.

Anyway it's going to be a fun ride with some map work required for the last 20% so please be patient there, and have for you a great ride to that point without interruption, short of breakdowns.

The Am loop is 60K's around 3+hrs, PM loop about the same K's and fuel for 70 Km min with some exploring.

Weather:
Saturday 17 September

Summary
    Min 9
    Max 20
    Sunny.

Melbourne area

Sunny. Winds northwesterly averaging up to 20 km/h

All sounds great Brad - I'm looking forward to it!

Hope your weather forecast remains true too :)

Last 3 times I have been there it has rained, reckon we are odds on for good weather.

This also means the ridden route so far is passable under the worst weather conditions, especially the glassy section.

See you next Saturday Peter.

Hi brad. I'm new to amtra so this would be my first club ride.(why I'm not a full member yet). Just wondering if I could be put down for this one??

Cheers Rory.

Hey brad, I would like to come along to the ride if there is room

Rory and Ash (A_A) NP fitting you guys in, will be running a three man cornerman system on the day to keep the number of manned corners down to a effective amount for a functional ride.

Hi Brad i would like to join in on this ride, do you have a spot for me?

Cheers

Rudi :)

NP Rudi you can have Zeb's, just kidding he seems to have pulled up reasonably well considering.

See you next Saturday. Bring fuel and lunch, plus the usual.

Yeah he is very lucky could have been a lot worse and there was no damage to his bike.

Thanks Brad see you Saturday.

Cheers

Rudi

The weather forecast is on the warm side for next Saturday, Flipper may get his wish.

Brad,

I am going to have to bail unfortunately :( Both my daughters have won through to their respective basketball finals on Sat. Have a great ride, Justin

OK Justin hope they win the finals and George is taking your spot.

hi brad have you got room for me on this ride thanks peter

NP Peter got you down with a few adds, moves and changes happening as the day comes closer.
Long drive for you, and one bloke reckons that cutting across to Glenburn via the C725 Whittlesea-Yea Rd is good but I am not so sure the C724 Whittlesea-Kinglake Rd looks better on the map but windy to get to the B300 Melba Hwy, experience will tell.

And here is the latest forecast:

Saturday 17 September

    Min 10
    Max 24
    Partly cloudy.

Melbourne area

Partly cloudy. Winds west to northwesterly averaging up to 20 km/h tending northerly and light during the evening.
