Saturday 22nd OctoberIt's on again....  ;D
This will be level 1.5, due to the fact it is an easy ride, but with a few challenging sections thrown in. There will be plenty of help on the day if needed. It will not be too hard. 8)
Very grippy terrain with no big hills or rocks.
No river crossings.
Some bog holes/large puddles  :-\ depending if the sun has dried them up...
It is a slow, social ride & for me, the ride is 70km & for others who want to do 2 optional Level 2 'Special Sections' with the other ride leader, it is about 100km's; so there are two, long breaks in between the special sections.
For this ride, you will require some good basic riding skills & plenty of patience for slower riders. Rec reg friendly ride.
The morning loop is 37km's, early lunch back at the unload point, refuel, then we complete the rest of the loop which is about 63.2 & 1" km's  ::)
Meeting point: 8.30am - Opposite the Shell Service Station at Woodside, on the South Gippsland Highway. We will then convoy to the unloading area.
On the bikes around 9.15am-ish
Ride should finish around 4.00pm-ish
If you have any questions PM me or phone Marls on 0408 567 125 or Fred 0434 835 833.
Any AMTRA members who would also like to come & help out on the day, would be much appreciated.
Cheers, Marls & Freddo  :)

ps Woodside is in between Yarram & Sale, about a 2.5 hour drive from Dandenong

pps Don't forget the Aerogard..you WILL need it  ;)

If anyone has a Two-Way radio, feel free to bring it along, Channel 28 will be the channel for the day.

Marl's & Freddo, i hope this one runs just as well as last time.

Best of luck, Al

No worries Bill..you slacker  ::) ...M

It rained all the way down here then stopped before woodside lol

Marlsie and Freddo thanks for a cracker ride , just a fantatic place to go for a cruise and blow of the weekly steam .

Good mix of trails and those tracks with the woops are absolute bloody gold. Thanks to everyone for the company, chats and laughs    ;D

Ps : Forgot to thank those every reliable Tail's and big thanks Al Mason for the help with the Flat , looks like it was a dicky valve rather than a puncture which is good news for my wallet .

Still not good for my knuckle? Glad i didnt look before i put the band aid on, because it wasnt pretty when i got it cleaned up at home,
Al

Sorry to hear that Al the Irony is that i did the same thing this arvo putting the heavy duty tube back in , and i stood their swearing and thinking why didnt i just turn it over so the disk side was up rather than the sprocket side ...Dam hiensight  >:(

Thanks Fred and Marles for a great day at Woodside, hope 1/2 day Bob's ankle is OK in time for the big day, see you all at the next one.
Gary.
