I was doing a Eildon - Jamieson on this date but now that has changed to a Toolangi ride for the 9th August. Paul Smith was to lead this ride but cannot due to a lack of bike to ride and Phil is overseas at present. The ride will be a level 1/2 starting at 9.00am on the intersection of Myers Creek road and Monda roads in Toolangi, the same place as Phil has been starting this ride since May. Call Wade 0439991272 or email evo250@inbox.com |

Hey mate just wondering if you'll be hitting much challenging single trail etc? I went on Phils last Toolangi ride and I found it to be much tamer than other rides posted at Level 1/2...  |

Mikey unfortunately a lot good tracks are closed in the area so I will be riding what ever we find on the day to be open. I cant make any promises. Evo |

Thanks Wade E
This will be my 2nd time out in 5 years,I think I've got it all together,Tools,tube,spare plug,changed the oil,bike all checked over and tighten each bolt.
Lunch at Narbethong,cool.
Q1..how do the other guys on 2 strokes refuel..do they carry a sachet of oil [100 ml] to tip into the fuel tank,or is there anther tip ?
Thank you for the help..see you guys soon

Timmey,
The guys carry there own oil whatever is their brand to mix in litre quantities. Most carry enough for one or two litres depends on how far the ride is and your fuel consumption.
Most of the two strokers carry a small oil container with markings for the mix or a small plastic measuring cup like a medicine one. Five litres would be plenty extra on Wades ride.
Or you could get a larger fuel tank or a four stroke???

A day on the bike somewhere is better than no day on the bike. I'll be there Wade. Cheers Clarky.

Marc,
