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.

Guess what!!!
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.

I know my name is on the list, mind you he can't spell it !!, but I am not really up to the challenges of Abbeyard just yet.
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  See you lot up at the block |

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. |
