Title: Re Woodside Level1.5 By Marls Post by: Rudi on September 11, 2011, 04,53:12 AM By co-incidence I bumped into Ted in Traralgon and after a coffee and a chat we were joined by Sandra and John who led the convoy out to Woodside.We passed Fred and Marls who were waiting for all the riders at the meeting point in Woodside.
Heaps of riders made the trip and the weather was magnificent. We started the morning with a cruisy level 1.5 Ride Led by Fred and soon everyone was more familiar with riding in the sandy loamy grippy conditions.A really good experience and for those who couldnt make it they missed a great ride. We were back at the unloading area for lunch and refuel. After lunch we hit the trail again. It started with a bit of a bang as Zeb hit an erosion mound at full speed and hit the ground real hard his Husky two smoker was lying on the ground and he was lying next to log 10 meters away from his bike.He was really lucky.He recovered fairly quickly after receiving treatment for a nasty cut under his chin. However this marked the end of the ride for Zeb. Hope you recover well mate. After regrouping we spent the rest of the afternoon chasing around overgrown tracks with some sandy uphill rides and to end a great day Fred threw in a bit of a boghole and a short strech of muddy track. Well done Marls (Fred) You put on an awesome well organized ride great work i really enjoyed it. Cheers Rudi Title: Re: Re Woodside Level1.5 By Marls Post by: johnny d on September 11, 2011, 08,00:58 AM i had fun !!!!!!! great big thanks to Marls and fred for a great ride.(will post more later)

SEPTEMBER 2011 G'day all, Thanks to everyone that came along to My first AMTRA ride. The God's were kind to us. Rain during the week, then sun shining on the day which made it perfect riding conditions. This was a bit of a combined effort, to have a ride to entertain people of varying riding skills, without anything too hard. 24 Beginner through to Advanced riders came & though us girls were slightly out numbered 22 to 2, it was great to see more girls interested in coming along. For the one's that couldn't make it, hope to see you on the next one. Sandra,you rode so well & big congratulations for giving that sandy narrow track & go..top effort there :D Fred lead most of the ride, Gary Clarke lead the optional Special level 1.5 sections, Al Mason was morning tailman & Ted Henning afternoon tailman. Thankyou to all of you, for without your assistance, this ride could not have worked well. My role was to stop Fred talking to keep the ride moving lol :P . I also lead 2 easier ways around, while the boys did the special sections ;D ....(Rudi..did you explain to your wife what "Cut Cats" means ???) Zeb, hope that cut on your whiskers heals real soon :'( & good to see you & your bike wasn't hurt ;)..That particular track is so much fun & can very easily get the better of you when you get caught up in the euphoria of it all.... Sand, whoops, berms, bog holes, puddles, a few interesting dune hills, made for some flowing riding, along with some good arm pump for the day...."Mission Accomplished" Here are some pics of the day...i'll pre-warn you there are heaps of them but we got so many goods ones' we just had to put them up here.. Until the next ride.. Cheers, Marls :) "The Cut Cats at Woodside" (http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv188/MARLSFRED/MARLS%20AMTRA%20WOODSIDE%20RIDE%20SEPTEMBER%202011/IMG_4965.jpg) "Shot of the Day..Pete"

Title: Re: Re Woodside Level1.5 By Marls Post by: AL on September 11, 2011, 10,58:41 AM Thanks Marl's & Freddo for an excelent day. As for the help you got from myself, Gaz and Ted im sure we all would say the days riding out there, more than payed for it!! I had a great day after riding badly the prevous weekend in Holbrook. And still carring injuries from it. To start the day as tailman was good to be back on the bike for a cruzzy day. My mate Ted was feeling so good out there he wanted my tailman vest after lunch. Havnt seen Ted riding with roost and air for a while and he was on fire! But after handing over the vest after lunch and been able to blast along the style of tracks i love, was just the ticket to give my confidence and enjoyment back. Great buch of beginers through to new comers, with a splashing of experienced rides to help them along and pass on advice. Good pics from Marl's and Freddo, with hopefully some footage from Pat to come. Went home with a smile from helping out, having a blast been able to cut loose, passing on knowledge, watching Bill do his best to avoid the woops, riding motocross style woops properly, racin with Pat and most of all, riding with some old favourites and some new faces. BLOODY GOOD JOB Marl's and Freedo and put me down for the next one, Al

I am going over my bike at the moment and to make sure everything is AOK for safety reasons so if anyone saw which direction it went and what stopped it it would give me a clue were to have a second look and closer inspection >>> Did it flop over on its side and grind to a halt or did it colide with something , maybe being pedantic but i dont want to discover something is not quite or broken half way through the next ride if ya know what i mean ??? Thnaks in advance .
Zeb Title: Re: Re Woodside Level1.5 By Marls Post by: DanJ on September 14, 2011, 02,46:08 AM Hey Zeb. I didn't see the incident but a few blokes were looking over your bike, and looked at the tree and the general consensus at the time was that it was your bike that caused the damage on the tree as it looked fresh. However it had us baffled as to what part of your bike hit the tree as we could see no obvious damage.
Maybe it was the front wheel/tyre that scarred the tree? I kissed a tree in Neerim the other week and was surprised at how a little tap with the knobbies could cause so much bark to come off. Hope the chin is getting better mate, Dan Title: Re: Re Woodside Level1.5 By Marls Post by: Peter Monty on September 14, 2011, 05,12:42 AM Folks can anyone that was behind me let me know what if anything my bike hit , i noticed when i was allowed to stand up that their was a large tree with a big chunk of bark missing that was not to far away, dont know if the missing bark was due to my prang or another previouse incident .

Loved seeing another photo of Pat smiling - yes he WAS smiling.

Zeb Hi Zeb I picked your bike up and straightened the bars etc, from what I was told and from what I could see your bike certainly hit the tree...what part I'm not sure....the main thing is you missed it ;) ;) Title: Re: Re Woodside Level1.5 By Marls Post by: XDIRTX on September 14, 2011, 10,21:17 AM Thanks Gary for doing those sections, otherwise I would have never made it.
Rossi (Boots) best out of 3. Dirt Pilot said, I must have missed a gear ;D He'll be at the controls next time. I enjoyed everyone's company on the day & it was a pleasure to have you all along. Sorry about making up some corners on the day; it was a bit of a hit & miss. I hope all the injured recover soon...would have never thought of this on a Marls ride ;) Have a nice day...Fred Title: Re:Woodside Level1.5 By Marls Post by: paul341 on September 14, 2011, 11,38:14 AM Thanks Marls and Fred for putting on a great ride, and thanks to all the tailmen. It really is a great place to ride, it is not super hard but certainly super fun. Next time we're there me and Zeb will make sure we complete the whole loop. Look forward to the next one. Annie was really sorry not to make it (she's aiming to get to Daylesford - thumb permitting!).
See you soon, Paul Title: Re: Re Woodside Level1.5 By Marls Post by: Zeb Colic on September 14, 2011, 01,14:16 PM Folks can anyone that was behind me let me know what if anything my bike hit , i noticed when i was allowed to stand up that their was a large tree with a big chunk of bark missing that was not to far away, dont know if the missing bark was due to my prang or another previouse incident .
