Title: AMTRA Club members only Abbeyard High Country Ride 19/11/11 L1/2 L2 / Clubman
Post by: Willbar on August 31, 2011, 12,11:52 AM
Ok once a year we put a great weekend on for the general public at our club property so I thought it would be nice to put one on just for the club and its members.
There will be two rides , a level 1 /2 and a level 2 / clubman.
The rides will be taking place on Saturday the 19th of November leaving the property at 8.30am. The first should cover a distance of around 180klm with a refuel and lunch at Harritville. The level will be level 2 to low end clubman with assistance but you will need a reliable bike and be bike fit. There will be river crossings no doubt and big ups and downs and very rocky terain and if we are lucky some mud but most likely lots of dust.
The level 1 / 2 ride run on the same day for the less experienced or less bike fit members should leave around 9.30am but I just need to find a leader for this one but that should not be hard and should be around 90klm in length possible creek crossings but no river crossings for them riders who are scared of water.
As I would class this event as a club social event the social budget will partially sponsor the weekend buy putting on a club barby on saturday night for dinner so I would invite all club members to attend the weekend even if not able to do the ride we would still love to have you along but remember to bring your sense of humour and smile.
Camping is of coarse expected so if you do not know the club set up then please ask. Its not being run as a family weekend but of coarse if you want to bring your family along then you are most welcome to.
And perhaps the NSW guys might like to join us in return for there hospitality at this years combined event.
You will need to cater for your self for the rest of your stay at our club property but there is a barby and stove there now and you can have camp fires in the provided fire bins.
Please feel free to call me for further info or to find out what ride you are suitable for etc.
This is the first time that I am aware of such an event being run from our club property and would love to see it as an annual event but without the support of our members then it will not happen so please support this event. When u post back with your reply please let me know which ride you wish to go on.
Due to catering for this event including food and ride support sweep riders the entrys for this event close on the 1/11/11 so please let me know ASAP but please no pull outs at the last minute as this can be worce than having no entrys so only put your name down if you are serious about attending.

I want to say I'll go, but every time I put my name on a list, something seems to come up!  So I won't SAY I'll be there, but I'll THINK I'll be there.

Is that vague enough?

Is this it, no one else wants to come along and enjoy our clubs property and surounding country side and be part of a great ride and take the oportunity to catch up with some of your fellow club members. Carn members pull your fingers out and get yourselfs organized to get along to support what could b a great annual event. I hear people complaining all the time that not enough of our members get use out of Abbeyard, well hear is the perfect chance, get yourself organized and do some car and trailer pulling to cut down the costs of getting there and back and get along and help make this one of them most talked about weekends.
This may even turn into a welcome back Frankie ride if we can talk his doctor into letting him swing a leg over. There is no limited rider numbers for this weekend so there is plenty of room available.
So if you have been to Abbeyard before you all ready know how nice a place it is, and if you havent, then get along and see it for yourself, remember hot showers and long drop dunnys and a very big shed to hang out inn and a great river if you need to cool down.

Please note it will be Rec Reg at own risk as we will be going into town for fuel and lunch and the L1/2 ride will be using roads not designated for Rec Reg.

This is my main concern, as the YZ only has rec reg.

Apart from going into town (where I could perhaps push the bike in), how much other 'non-rec reg' riding is there in the L2/Clubman ride?


*** Edited to say that my OH has just reminded me of a previous booking - something to do with wine and chisels...So it looks like I miss out on seeing Abbeyard for the moment ***

For members who wish to come along on the L2 Clubman ride with only Rec Reg, we can limit your travel on no rec reg roads as long as you are prepaired to carry enough fuel and food on your back, but for the rest we will ride into Harietville for fuel and lunch. The L1 L2 ride should not really be an issue as your time on non rec reg road is very minamalistic.

Awe the numbers are starting to dwindle already, with some of my so called riding buddies opting out for easier rides, soft I say, soft.
Anyway if anyone else wants to get on board stick your name on the lists as the entrys close in just a few days time.
The planned route will be the same as the 2010 HCR ride....

Ok once a year we put a great weekend on for the general public at our club property so I thought it would be nice to put one on just for the club and its members.
There will be two rides , a level 1 /2 and a level 2 / clubman.
The rides will be taking place on Saturday the 19th of November leaving the property at 8.30am. The first should cover a distance of around 180klm with a refuel and lunch at Harritville. The level will be level 2 to low end clubman with assistance but you will need a reliable bike and be bike fit. There will be river crossings no doubt and big ups and downs and very rocky terain and if we are lucky some mud but most likely lots of dust.
The level 1 / 2 ride run on the same day for the less experienced or less bike fit members should leave around 9.30am but I just need to find a leader for this one but that should not be hard and should be around 90klm in length possible creek crossings but no river crossings for them riders who are scared of water.
As I would class this event as a club social event the social budget will partially sponsor the weekend buy putting on a club barby on saturday night for dinner so I would invite all club members to attend the weekend even if not able to do the ride we would still love to have you along but remember to bring your sense of humour and smile.
Camping is of coarse expected so if you do not know the club set up then please ask. Its not being run as a family weekend but of coarse if you want to bring your family along then you are most welcome to.

How come this ride qualifies for a club paid meal and other club rides don't?
Just want to know what is different about this ride to any other?
Are all club rides then able to have meals paid for by the club?

I am putting this weekend on as a social event for the whole club, so everyone in the club is welcome to attend this weekend either to ride or to just socialise and it is coming out of the social budget, its just part of my social activities along with golf days or go kart days etc. Will

I'm NOT going to Abbeyard.  Surprised?  I should think not.

Sorry Will, but apart from not checking that it's my daughter's birthday on the Sunday, I have also committed myself to go to the Wildrock thingy.

Hope everyone has a great time up there.

But on that note, on general consensus of a couple of specialists and endless exrays and ct scans, I am getting better, be it slowly !!.
Have a great time.

I personly hate the idear of the all day tail man or even the the 1/2 day job.

Just my 2 cents but when i lead a ride not that there all that oftern i like to mix it up if your doing a 100km loop
then why not have 4 tail men ?

its normaly about every 25klm you have a big regroup to keep everyone in check.
just grab the bum bag and give it to someone and say your turn.
We all put in alot of effoet and $$$ to go riding
its good not to be stuck at the back all day, but in saying that some people love just ploding along at their own pace.

all out of cents now  ;D

See you lot up at the block

I personly hate the idear of the all day tail man or even the the 1/2 day job.

Just my 2 cents but when i lead a ride not that there all that oftern i like to mix it up if your doing a 100km loop
then why not have 4 tail men ?

its normaly about every 25klm you have a big regroup to keep everyone in check.
just grab the bum bag and give it to someone and say your turn.
We all put in alot of effoet and $$$ to go riding
its good not to be stuck at the back all day, but in saying that some people love just ploding along at their own pace.

all out of cents now  ;D

See you lot up at the block
And thats what we do but mat is just the first and he will sort it from there

My 2 bobs worth, I've been on rides where I've offered to take over the tail duties, I fined that they are quite happy to do it all day.

I'll be at Abby yard at the weekend, my first dirt ride back, I didn't put up my hand for the level 1/2 ride sweep, because I might not feel good enough to complete the ride, otherwise I'm happy to take my turn doing sweep duties.

Hi guys Nigel here.

Is anyone leaving Melbourne for abbeyard around 6:00- 6;30 PM on Friday. I've never been & will be arriving around 10:00 or 11:00pm that's if I don't get lost.

If going to Abbeyard for the 1st time and in the dark, I recommend that you go via Myrtleford.
Turn onto the Buffalo River Rd which runs off the main st in Myrtleford. Go over the Lake Buffalo dam wall and keep heading along the Buffalo River Rd past Dandongadale (Rose River Rd intersection) at which point the road turns to dirt. Keep heading sth for 24km and you'll see lights of the hayshed on your right. The gate is a short distance past the Lake Cobbler Tk.

Anyone doing the level 2/ clubman ride there has been a change of plans, Harrietville is hosting a Bluegrass Convention / Festival so we will not be stopping there for FUEL or LUNCH, Will and Frankie are now doing a fuel drop so bring along extra fuel and lunch, total ride distance will still be 160-180km.
A few of us are going up Friday morning and will be doing an arfternoon ride starting at 12:00 any one is welcome to come along.
See you there Gary.
