I plan to have Thursday off and do all that. If it is like every other year "something urgent will need to be done" and I will be running late as usual. Fitted a new chain and sprockets and wheel bearings to my bike this afternoon however I am not taking it to the hcr as I will be out in the 4wd for most of the time so there seems little point to drag it up there just for transport around the property.

I dont need to ride. I am happy to do the other jobs as needed. Seeing as I deleted approx 700 of my posts last year during the web site clean up I just thought I would post a bit of rubbish as it seems there may be some sort of excitement when you get to 1000 and then 2000 posts! |

Ian, do you actually own a bike? I don't recall ever seen you on a ride yet. I guess when you have been a club member for 40 years you dont need to go on many rides and I dont get time to ride in my favorite area these days. (Snowy River area north of Orbost). Besides, lots of people think I cant ride so why let them think differently?  |

During my 43 years with AMTRA I can confirm that Ian has been spotted on a bike in the bush, it may have been steam powered, but it was a bike. Come on Ian, we know we don't have to ride to prove anything, been almost everywhere and done almost everything, but man it's still a shyte load of fun, lets ride together on Sunday? There must be others who can 4WD rescue on Sunday!!! ONLY THREE MORE SLEEPS. |

I've ridden with Ian once at Neerim, from what I've seen he don't need any help, he gets along pretty good for an old bloke |

Falling off doesn't hurt, it's the sudden stop that does the damage.
