Great company and lunch at the pub was good also. Ian Title: Re: Old Farts Pubman Ride Neerim Sth 23/5/10 Post by: Serge C on May 23, 2010, 07,35:37 AM Yeah, thanx Will-I-am, I had a blast. Cold start, but opened to a perfect riding day. Unfortunately for Ian, (and Fred and Geoff) his ride was cut a little short because of towing Marl's dead Sherco back to the cars, but all was forgiven when we got to the pub. Marls did promise to buy the first round of drinks, but somehow avoided it. No problems, we'll get her next time. Thanks to all those who got involved. This Pubman ride is gaining momentum! ;D Title: Re: Old Farts Pubman Ride Neerim Sth 23/5/10 Post by: james c on May 23, 2010, 08,13:44 AM thanks Will for a good day riding.

First & foremost, huge big thanks to Will for putting on today's great ride... Old Farts legend ride which you MUST put on again so we can do those munster hills we all missed...anyway... As dawn was breaking & birds were coming into song & while every other spring chicken AMTRA member was still in bed, me & Mr Frogman were already on our way to get to Neerim South for the first & inaugral 'AMTRA Old Fart's Ride'. We were the first old farts to arrive just a bit after 7am & following in shortly after by another anxious old fart Mr Rossi in his boots. Got our shizen together & did some practice laps of the carpark, while all the other old boys rolled up. I should have been a bit concerned, when I signed the attendance register & got #13...After a quick introductory speach by the guru, it was off & racing out the back track, which, in Will's own words, "Well head out the back, onto possibly the worst track for the morning, to warms you's all up"...Warm us up it did ;D. I got stuck half way up a mf rutty hill climb & Frogman, who promised not to interfere with the tailmen, let them sort me out. Big thanks to Darren & Dr Brad for helping me out & sorry Darren if I showered you a bit with dirt, trying to ride out of the rut. All good in the end & no stacks...yet. Did some fantastic, fast flowing sandy tracks & roads & got air on my favourite mound on Sawdust.. 8)...all good fun...All was good, until, I decide to ride through a big bog hole, thinking it couldn't be that deep...well....I'll let the pictures tell the story, but had a nice bath, drowned the bike, snapped a bit on the a thingy to the fuel tank & it was all over, red rover :'( Big thanks to Ian for towing Frogman on my bike back to base & Geoff for leading (I was tailwoman) :-X At least I got to ride the Gassa back, which he doesn't normally let me ride for some reason, don't know why ::) but wow, would love to take that ship through a few bog crossings! Lunch was great at the pub & thankyou once again to everyone, for making it such a great day. Here's some pictures of the ride...Until the next one ;) Cheers, Marls ps...Peter R, I need more going around bog hole lessons :-[ (http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv188/MARLSFRED/DIRT%20BIKE%20PICS/IMG_1739.jpg) Thought I had it nailed!

Ted Title: Re: Old Farts Pubman Ride Neerim Sth 23/5/10 Post by: Frankie-boy on May 24, 2010, 04,05:54 AM Another great ride with Amtra,I think I might have been the oldest rider there :D after riding the slippery stuff last weekend, it made this ride a lot easier being more predictable not so slippery,I was having a ball, & here & there I might have come a bit close when passing, I'm sorry if I did get in your way, thanks Will for leading a great ride & organizing the pub for lunch, & Brad for doing the sweep & the great company to make it an great day.
Where's the next ride? Title: Re: Old Farts Pubman Ride Neerim Sth 23/5/10 Post by: Serge C on May 24, 2010, 08,49:48 AM More pics from the day.
