I can make it in the morning now :)

Anyone who is keen there will be a ride in the morning. Well be back in time for lunch and the arvo ride.

The morning ride will be a little harder than the arvo, but not to hard (will depend on the group). Leaving the Ridge Road carpark at 9am.

Hi Dave, Will here, if my shoulder is up to it by then I'm keen for morning and arvo, if things change I will let you know but other wise see you at the carpark between 8.30 and 9, regards Will

No worries Will. Depending on how many we get in the moring we can just do a cruisy explore ride or decide on the day.

I'm going to bring the little gas stove and fry pan so if you want to bring some snags for lunch should be good :)
