I made some promises before I retired from ride leader duties that still need filling? So I will dust off the vest.
Level 1 to easy Level 2 ride at Fumina on the 12th January.
This ride will have a ride loop more flexible than a female Russian Gymnast of between 100 to 120ks.
My plan is to aim the ride for people whom have done one or two, level 1 rides and will have a few challenges along the way. There will be heaps of assistance given when and where it’s needed!! And is aimed to help people make the next step and gain confidence out on the trail.
The start point is my Duggan North Rd and Willow Grove rd car park for those who know it. Pm me if you need better directions. Car park will fill, but can park on the edge of the Duggan North road.
On the bikes for 9am Sharp.

You will need...
Fuel for your bike to complete 120k
Lunch for out on the trail
Tools and spare spark plug for your bike
And a well maintained bike
Any question post up hear or call

Al

David.
Cant help with a good motel as i dont come in that way, but would think there would be something around Neerim way.

Hey Al

No worries Luke.
Al

Parking on the side of Duggan North Rd will be a necessity on Saturday as we are over the car park capacity. Heaps of parking along the left hand side before and after the bridge.
Al

Hey Al,

If your list gets any shorter, i'll be happy to fill a spot. Haven't been out to Fumina for a long time.

Cheers
Andrew

Just curious about fuel use, don't know how many Kim's I can do on 1 tank. Does anybody have any issues with this distance normally? I ride a tickled wr400 if that helps.

If anyone is not sure how to get their I will be at the Caltex service centre at Longwarry at 7.00am you can tag along with me from their   ....  Out of their at 7.10 am sharp  .... Ugly guy with glasses , sliver pathfinder with a Berg 2T on the trailer .

ps :  Happy Birthday Al  .... We gunna do mineshaft as a present to you.

Michael.
I would carry and extra litre with you and drop in the bike as soon as possible. Tomorow should be fairly easy on fuel as its a low level ride. If everyone travels well, we will do the 120ks. But you never know? Havnt had much to do with WR400's, other than having to kick start the buggers when their owns leg get sore.
Al

Zeb.
Cheers for assisting people on finding the start point and the Birthday wishes.
Al 

Hey Zeb I will meet you there around 7am

Thx al. I was going to take couple of litres just in case.

Zeb I will also meet you there :)

I meet you there as well Zeb it will save me getting lost ;D

Yep out bound side if that makes sence  ...

Mineshaft!!! Nooooo!
