Title: New member Post by: Green machine on June 19, 2011, 02,24:34 AM Hi all. I have just joined amtra after having heard some great feed back on your club rides. Have recently purchased a new KLX450R after a few years out of the trail scene, and am looking forward to getting back out and about with amtra. Does anyone know if there are other members in the northen vic region (Nth of Bendigo) that attend amtra rides regularly?

Anyway the closest ride to you would be next Sundays Glenlyon Ride which is near Daylesford, but give John T (the ride leader) a ring about the ride. Here's a link to the ride: http://www.vinamtra.com.au/forum/calendar/lenlyon-area-t3961/ Regards Peter Title: Re: New member Post by: Robert James Crisp on June 19, 2011, 10,12:46 AM Hey Green Machine-I'm from Benalla if that helps!

Wouldnt be able to make Glenlyon ride Peter, but thanks for the suggestion.
Cheers, Neal(GM) Title: Re: New member Post by: Brad on June 20, 2011, 12,58:00 AM Good Vineyard country where you live Neal especially the Reds.
Title: Re: New member Post by: Green machine on June 20, 2011, 01,27:08 AM Yes Brad, there is a nice drop or two of red out this way, just a shame some of the places i ride here arent as good!...
Title: Re: New member Post by: Brad on June 20, 2011, 02,07:45 AM Neal where are the places you like to ride?
Title: Re: New member Post by: Green machine on June 20, 2011, 02,54:16 AM Not too many places local to ride here Brad, if i wake up and want to spend the day riding i shoot out to the "Terrick Terrick" national park between Mitiamo and Pyramid Hill. Its largely an Iron Bark and pine forest, basic free flowing open tracks, undulating at best! although a hand full of granite rock outcrops provide an accasional hillclimb challange if im feeling up to it. Only problem there is, its not a soft landing if i happen to come off! I used to ride up around the ovens valley years ago. Around omeo and the mitta mitta river. I miss riding the high country and thats why i have joined amtra, to get me motivated again...

Sounds like you need to put on an AMTRA ride at Terrick Terrick, i'm sure we can drum up some riders, especially if there's a Pub or somewhere good to stay the night at. Maybe you could organise some stripper, "Now that would be good".Title: Re: New member Post by: Frankie-boy on June 20, 2011, 05,24:21 AM Now you're talking Pete, I haven't seen any strippers for years, but I guess they haven't changed much since sitting in the front row wide eyed at a Christmas break up party, ;D Title: Re: New member Post by: seano on June 20, 2011, 05,59:29 AM Now you're talking Pete, I haven't seen any strippers for years, but I guess they haven't changed much since sitting in the front row wide eyed at a Christmas break up party, ;D Title: Re: New member Post by: Frankie-boy on June 20, 2011, 06,38:50 AM Now you're talking Pete, I haven't seen any strippers for years, but I guess they haven't changed much since sitting in the front row wide eyed at a Christmas break up party, ;D ;D ;D ;D How did the op go mate?

Title: Re: New member Post by: Green machine on June 20, 2011, 08,50:47 AM Hey Peter, be happy to map out some loops in the "Terricks" if you thought there would be some interest in heading to Nth Vic? Would be a casual L1/L2 ride, L2+ if someone wanted to tackle the granite?! Camping facilities in the park, pub accommadation in Pyramid Hill, Mitiamo general store has food and fuel. Not sure i could convince professional strippers to head into a National park in the middle of nowhere!.....but leave it with me, i know of a couple of local gals that might be approachable! ;D
