Level 1 plus Clubman Ride saturday 24th of November Woodside Fund Raiser ride 2 to Support Cathy Steele in her fight with Ovarian Cancer .
Ok, here is Cathy Steels story.
To refresh your memory why we are doing this again here is Cathy’s story once again-
The story I want to tell you all is about Mat Creasey's adopted sister Cathy Steele.
I was having a Bourbon with my mate and most of your mate Mat the other day and he told me this tragic story and I have since done some of my own research on Cathy.
Cathy Steele has been a big part of Mat's Family for many years, she is 33 years young , has 4 children aged between 11 and 3 years old.
Cathy and her partner and 4 kids lost everything they owned in the floods at Rochester 18mths ago.
At short notice they could only rent a place in Barooga,
anyway around 6mths ago Cathy went for a blood test as she had a bad flu, they sent her to Melbourne straight away were she was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer, the silent killer, it is that far advanced, that apparently they believe that she may have had it for up to 10 years.
Cathy has to come to Melbourne on a regular basis for her cancer treatment and as she does not have private cover has to pay out of her own pocket.
Many of Cathys other friends and family are also currently fund raising to help her fight her cancer but there is still a long road ahead. As Cathy is the sort of person who is always the first to help anyone and never asks for help for herself Mat and I would like to run some rides through the club and in return hope we can raise some much needed funds for Cathy through donations and raffles and perhaps some well deserved fines to attendees of the rides.
It will not be a requirement for the attendees to donate, but if they feel like doing so we would encourage them to donate what they can afford.
I think the raffle tickets will be sold but also for every fine someone pays they would receive a raffle ticket in return for there fine donation.
Fines should and would be all in good fun, like if you have to have a hand up then 1 fine, if you need your bike to be riden as I often do 2 fines and so on. Here is a good chance for everyone to contribute; I would like to build up a fine list so please feel free to send me some ideas.
I now want to share a quote with you all from Cathy’s facebook page which seams to sum up the sort of person Cathy Steele is
"Tomoro Night my dear friend is hosting a fundraiser for me at 7 pm at Barooga football club to help us pay for my cancer treatment. My brother Paul said the other day that everything in my life has been fate!. We lost all our possessions and our jobs in the floods, Cobram Victory soccer Club did’nt answer the phone when i was trying to sign up and Cobram tigers soccer club answered there’s after the second call. We could only rent a house on short notice in Barooga which led us to the local primary school there. We r now at a great soccer club and our children go to a great little school. We have now built a great little home and have made life long friends. during this difficult time in my life I have landed in the right place. Daryle has a great job and it all comes back to losing our home 18 months ago. i never thought id say this!!!!! but our possessions were worth losing. we r in the right place once and for all. Thankyou to all my knew and dear friends who have made my life easier xoxox"
This is the second of a few rides which Mat and I plan to run and we will be cross promoting the rides on facebook , AMTRA and if need be on Dirt bike world .
The first thing I need is a list volunteer helpers to sweep ride, help with the barby and raffle. Now if we have enough support the ride will be Brocken into groups of around 25 per group and we may even do a clubman ride if there is enough interest.
Some of us also plan to camp there on Saturday night and party on and perhaps do some riding Sunday morning so anyone is welcome to stay over if they please.
Meeting point 1: (if you are travelling down the Sth Gippsland Hwy) will be departing at 9.00am from opposite the Shell Servo at Woodside on the Sth Gippsland Hwy Between Yarram and Sale-approx 2 hours from melb and to convoy to the unloading area. Roughly 10 minute drive for an on the bike start about 10.00am.
Meeting point 2: (if you are travelling down the Princes Hwy) will be leaving Traralgon 8.10am opposite SuperCheap on the princes hwy just as you enter Traralgon on your right hand side to convoy to the offloading area which will take approx 50 mins.
The sweep riders and volunteers Meeting Point: would need to meet (if you are travelling down the Princes Hwy) will be leaving Traralgon 7.30am opposite SuperCheap on the princes hwy just as you enter Traralgon on your right hand side to convoy to the offloading area which will take approx 50 mins.
The L2 Clubman ride attendees would need to be there for 9.00am for a 9.30am ride start on the bikes, L1 Riders need to be there for 9.30am for a 10am on the bikes start. At 1pm We will then meet back at the cars for a Barbeque lunch which you may or may not donate to the cost of for the barby and a soft drink. Extra drinks will be available.
At 2.30PM we will then head back out for another ride and should be back at the cars around 5.30pm.
The raffle will be drawn at lunch time.
Fines will be done in Dollar amounts, Basic fine $1 not such a basic fine $2 Fines for Volunteers will be $5 and I hope to get each volunteer for at least one each so bing your cash. Ride leader or Tailman fine will be $10 but lets hope there will be none of these. As I said before if you pay a $1 fine then you get one raffle ticket and if you pay a $2 fine then you will get 2 raffle tickets and so on. Raffle tickets will also be available for purchase at 1 for a $1 each.
Please reply to this post with your intentions to come along and at the same time please let me know if you only want to come and ride . If you wish to be a sweep rider then please only competent riders who are willing to pass on there knowledge to the other attendees apply for this job. At the same time if you wish to attend a clubman ride then please indicate this as if we get enough wanting this sort of ride then we will cater for you also.
Even if you can not make the day as a ride attendee I would still encourage you to make a small donation .
We are also in the need for some raffle prices, so far we have the following items. So if anyone has a worthy raffle prize donation please let us know also.
So Far we have the following Donated
Signed V8 Race car posters.
Bottle of Scotch.
RedRons famous blue windcheaters.

As for the L1 beginners ride, is a perfect ride for someone coming into the sport or someone who just wants to increase there skills or even someone who just wants a cruisy ride.
THIS RIDE WILL BE A BEGINNERS / LEVEL 1 RIDE AND WILL BE AT BOBS PACE.
Really looking forward to seeing beginners and anyone at all that wants to come and have a nice easy day and some fun on the bike.
*The terrain is easy and flat with no big hills. Hopefully a few puddles to splash through, and nice open tracks with a few whoops here and there...but not big ones. Enough to have fun though. There is a small sandy stretch that I have found to be a little bit of a challenge...but I have managed to get through it several times...theres heaps of help if needed...but if i can do it...anyone can
As per all AMTRA rides there will be first aiders on the ride and also satelite phones and Epirbs in case of emergency.
The ride should be fairly straight forward, with a few ups and downs, some sandy trails, but as long as you enjoy a good laugh we guarantee you a fun day out on your bike.
Yes lady's Bob would love to have you along to support her.
All attendees must have a current bike learners permit or a current bike license. The bike you are riding must also be registered either fully or Rec reg is fine also.
The ride is open to both AMTRA Members and Guests and visitors. The corner man system will be used and for those who do not know how it operates it will be explained in full in the pre ride briefing.
Johnny D will be leading a L2 / clubman ride so if you like sand and woops then this is one for you, there may even be sum not very well used trails thrown in but is sure to be testing to the not so fit and perhaps even the slightly fit riders.
Morning loop will be approx 60 km's,, (refuel and lunch back at cars)
Afternoon loop will be approx 60 km's,,
You will need to be bike fit! ,, and yes there will be woops and then there will be more woops..

Things you can do to be fined.

Paying fines are optional as is giving you a raffle ticket for your fine.
Volunteer rider $2 per fine upto a max of $20 per rider
as above except Roosting anyone.
Ride Leader or Tailman fines $5 each upto a max of $50 per rider.
Remember its only a fine if you get caught and remember to collect a raffle ticket as you get your fine so you know how much to put in the fine jar when you get back to the carpark.
And remember, cheaters sometimes prosper and dobber's get bonus tickets so keep a sharp eye out....
And remember most of all bring your smile and sense of humor cause you know when a Creasy is involved you will at some point split your side with laughter.
We have had a very generous donation of some Australian grand Prix memorabilia which will go into the raffle, slabs of Beer. After some consideration of the time it takes to get to woodside we have pushed all the times 1 hr away so please make sure you re read the post as you no longer need to get there for sparrows farts anymore. What I would like is someone to donate something really special or collectable that we could use as a attendees prize so anyone that makes the effort to attend this ride has a chance of going home with something to remember the day by. Anyone got any ideas apart from a new bike of coarse but if anyone wants to donate one feel free. |

Hey folks , i was talking to Greg who owns the little General Store in Gormandale (its licencsed)...this little town suffered during Black Saturday. Greg see's Johnny and I a bit (ice, food, drinks etc)as we pop out to Woodside/Stradbroke alot of weekends as some of you know, so i was telling him about Cathys Ride over the weekend and he was very interested and asked how we actually raise the money, so i explained the FINE system and raffle tickets, he said to me "Well I suggest you call in an fine me on your way to the ride"...so he has offered to give us a donation so i will be seeing him to do just that. Anyway, the little shop is on your way to Cathys Ride if your coming from Princes Hwy route and i would love it if you could pop in , weather it be to get ice, smokes, food, the paper, whatever you need either on the way into the ride or after on your way home and just say G'day and let Greg know your on the Cathy Ride, just so he is acknowledged for the fact he is happy to kick in a few $$$ as a nice gesture. Also I spent this last weekend working out my loop for the Level 1 ride and I have found some new tracks to what we did on my last loop, it is very much just beginner/level 1, nothing hard but found some really nice flowing tracks so you can just get on it and have a great flowing ride.Its going to be fun, no matter what. Remember though...it is at my pace (Which is getting faster and more consistent all the time) Will Munro is my guinea pig next Saturday..the 17th while Johnny runs his Mullungdung/Stradbroke revisted ride...so sorry guys Will Munro is OFF LIMITS - hes mine..(well just for the day, after that he's anyone's i guess )and hopefully he will come out alive he will be running the loop with me to work out our best way to fine people amd ensure we all have fun. |

Level 1 plus Clubman Ride saturday 24th of November Woodside Fund Raiser ride 2 to Support Cathy Steele in her fight with Ovarian Cancer .
Ok, here is Cathy Steels story.
To refresh your memory why we are doing this again here is Cathy’s story once again-
The story I want to tell you all is about Mat Creasey's adopted sister Cathy Steele.
I was having a Bourbon with my mate and most of your mate Mat the other day and he told me this tragic story and I have since done some of my own research on Cathy.
Cathy Steele has been a big part of Mat's Family for many years, she is 33 years young , has 4 children aged between 11 and 3 years old.
Cathy and her partner and 4 kids lost everything they owned in the floods at Rochester 18mths ago.
At short notice they could only rent a place in Barooga,
anyway around 6mths ago Cathy went for a blood test as she had a bad flu, they sent her to Melbourne straight away were she was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer, the silent killer, it is that far advanced, that apparently they believe that she may have had it for up to 10 years.
Cathy has to come to Melbourne on a regular basis for her cancer treatment and as she does not have private cover has to pay out of her own pocket.
Many of Cathys other friends and family are also currently fund raising to help her fight her cancer but there is still a long road ahead. As Cathy is the sort of person who is always the first to help anyone and never asks for help for herself Mat and I would like to run some rides through the club and in return hope we can raise some much needed funds for Cathy through donations and raffles and perhaps some well deserved fines to attendees of the rides.
It will not be a requirement for the attendees to donate, but if they feel like doing so we would encourage them to donate what they can afford.
I think the raffle tickets will be sold but also for every fine someone pays they would receive a raffle ticket in return for there fine donation.
Fines should and would be all in good fun, like if you have to have a hand up then 1 fine, if you need your bike to be riden as I often do 2 fines and so on. Here is a good chance for everyone to contribute; I would like to build up a fine list so please feel free to send me some ideas.
I now want to share a quote with you all from Cathy’s facebook page which seams to sum up the sort of person Cathy Steele is
"Tomoro Night my dear friend is hosting a fundraiser for me at 7 pm at Barooga football club to help us pay for my cancer treatment. My brother Paul said the other day that everything in my life has been fate!.

Daryle has a great job and it all comes back to losing our home 18 months ago. i never thought id say this!!!!! but our possessions were worth losing. we r in the right place once and for all.

The ride is open to both AMTRA Members and Guests and visitors. The corner man system will be used and for those who do not know how it operates it will be explained in full in the pre ride briefing.
Johnny D will be leading a L2 / clubman ride so if you like sand and woops then this is one for you, there may even be sum not very well used trails thrown in but is sure to be testing to the not so fit and perhaps even the slightly fit riders.
Morning loop will be approx 60 km's,, (refuel and lunch back at cars)
Afternoon loop will be approx 60 km's,,
You will need to be bike fit! ,, and yes there will be woops and then there will be more woops..
