AMTRA.com.au

Been a while since I did one of these but have a day free. Will have done the first aid course by then so could be looking for opportunities to use new skills. ;D

Will be a full day ride this time. AM will be aimed at Level 2 while the afternoon will be aimed at Level 1. Two loops of less than 70 km each, afternoon will more likely be around 40 km.

Rec Reg OK.

BBQ's and lunch are BYO, will be at the carpark in between loops at around 12:30.

Ride start is at 9:00 a.m, but I am fairly relaxed.

Afternoon ride will start around 1:30 p.m. and go to about 5 p.m. There can be several opportunities to point you back to the cars if you need to leave earlier.

Meet at Ridge Rd/Devanney Rd Car Park at 8:30 a.m. or at Calder Outbound BP, Calder Hwy, Calder Park (just past the Calder Park Racetrack) at 7:30 a.m if you want to follow me out.

Limit of 20 riders in the morning, will take more in the afternoon but may split then into two groups with the aim of meeting up at various points around the Cobaws.

If you are a L2 and come along with the L1 afternoon group you are expected to be patient, and help out your fellow riders.

Terrain is sandy and rocky, usally quite dry.

Rides are social and there are frequent stops, this is not a clubman try out.

Marls and Dave will be pointed at the hill and sent off.

hi Matt,
it's Charlie (i'm back), I'll be doing the afternoon ride on Sunday. Back to basics.

 

Hi Charlie,
Is that the Charlie with the KTM that Fred & I did our first AMTRA ride with at the beginning of last year at Cobaw? If yes, will be good to see you again. Look what happend to my DRZ after that ride, I can't remember much of that day  ??? My riding style hasn't changed much since then either  ;D
Cheers...Marls

Gee Marls no wonder you keep getting new bikes :'(
Should call you WEELAN ;D

yes it's the same Charlie and KTM, I will see you there.

 

Be good to have you along again Charlie.

Marls, wasn't the GG yours and the DRZ Freddo's? It was all a ploy by Freddo to get the Gasser.

See you all in a few weeks time.

Matt,

Put me down for this one

Rob

hey matt can u put me down for this on please.
be coming up with jarrad
cheers Rob

Mat can you please put me in for both trips.
Thanks

Gday im new to the site just wondering if my son and a mate and i could come on this ride as we are only newbys, I rode a bit of dirt many years ago but been riding road bikes for many years.
thanks

You are welcome to come along, suggest just for the L1 in the afternoon if new or returning to the dirt. All bikes need to be registered and all riders licenced. Being close to Melbourne we do get a few checks through Cobaw.

please put me down for the full day, see you up there.

put me down at this stage please Mat

I will come up as a guest with Phil B for the morning ride if that's okay?
Brian.

No problem Brian. Seeya there Dustin.

Have heard lots of trees down at Cobaw, could be a log hopping ride with lots of help for those that need it.

Seeya,

Mat.

Mat pls put me down for this ride


      Ted

Hi Mat,

Can you please add me to your morning session?

Cheers,

Freddy

Hi,im new to the site and was just wondering how you grade your rides as im interested in trying this one.

Aido,

Check this post out:

http://www.vinamtra.com.au/forum/general-chat/alendar/msg3696/?highlight=ride+grade#msg3696

This is how AMTRA 'grades' its rides.  Work your level out by this, or if all else fails, ring the ride leader (Mat) and discuss your ability with him.

Enjoy, and welcome aboard.

Please include me for the afternoon.
Cheers guys
Daniel

Updated and a rider list in the first post.

Mat.

I just joined but im keen to go on this ride if thats allright. Ill be up for both rides.

Hi Mat,
Could you please put me down for the arvo session?
Cheers,
Mark

Hi Mat,

Please put me down for the arvo session. I look forward to it.

Cheers,

George

Sorry guys, can no longer make it.
House moving favour has been called in.

Cheers, Daniel

Hi Matt can you put me down for this ride will try to make morning and arvo ride

Ron

Gday guys,
Im not a member of the club as yet, kind of looking to test the water, and this sounds like the ride to do it!
Is it ok for me to ride on an indemnity form? And i hope rec reg. will be ok for the day?
I'm reasonably experienced, on a ktm 300 exc.
I'd love to come on both morning and arvo rides.
Cheers

Steve,

You are welcome to come along and see what AMTRA is about.

Rec reg is fine for the Cobaw SF, that is all I have on the bike I am taking.

Mat.

Thanks Mat,
I guess I'll be seeing you guys Sunday morning! Is it OK to bring along the signed form on the day? Or should I fax it to someone beforehand?
Very much looking forward to it!

any chance of putting me down ???
tone

can i join this ride i'll meet u at the servo if thats alrite

Hi Matt

Hopefully you've got room for one more in the morning. Count me in thanks

Colin P

I will have forms with me, so it can be done on the day.

Updated ride list in first post.

Ride will go ahead regardless of weather.

Sorry Mat, unable to make it on Sunday. Cousins engagement party. Bugger!

Mat - I rang Wed nite. Can you put me down for am and pm ride. thanks Andrew

hey matt!
my cousin Ocsar has got little off road experience, isnt an AMTRA member and is keen for the arvo sesh. is the indemnity form out of amtraction the right indemnity form for him for the day? if so ill bring that along for him. also i cant find the ridge rd/devaney tk intersection on google maps however in an old ESMAP book i have found a ridge rd/devanney rd intersection is that where the carpark is? i think ive got your number so ill give you a call tomorrow anyway.
Al

No problem to bring Oscar along, will have an indemnity but if you grab one from the Mag that is fine.

Yep car park is Ridge/Devanney.

Enter from south end of Ridge Rd and is about 2 km into forest. Can't miss it.

If theres still some room for a mate and i in the arvo run we would like to come, any idea how long it would take to get there from ringwood?
Cheers

Damige, it takes me approx 1.5hrs from nunawading - probably just under...

Hi Al,
Please tell your cousin Oscar, we will get on well; He can hang out the back with me if he wants to  ::) ....
See you Sunday...Cheers, Marls

sorry guys im out bikes not back from getting the new cam yet be ready next week though..

Sorry i cant go...my bike is shagged

Mat - il maybe a late scrathing on the morning ride - but may still get there for the afternoon.  Cheers David
{i am 20 km away from Cobaw and it has been pising down all day - great for ducks - and still coming down)

Hi Mat,
I am bringing my lovely friend Julia along as a guest. This will be her first AMTRA ride.
She would like to do both level 1 & 2 rides & will meet you at the carpark at 8.30am. Freddo & I will be doing the level 1 ride only, so we will see you all at lunchtime.
Erzberg, here we come  ;D
Cheers....Marls

Will be at the BP at 7:30. Expect it to be wet in the morning. May get better at the day goes on.

Hi Mat,
I'm out for this ride, sorry for the mucking around.
Brian.

Mat

Sorry for pulling the pin. Last night got bigger than anyone expected...

Hope you and the lads had a good one

George
