A big thank you to AMTRA for the kids presents and for the Feed and refreshments. A bigger thank you to Meathead and the whole Theisz clan and every one who preped and cooked for the masses great job everyone.
Hame seems to be ok so far after his tree hugging incident, but was a bit unsure about all the jokes as he was in pain, I explained to him about how this can help reduce the stress and worry in a situation, so look out if you ever hurt yourself in front of him now, seriously thanks everyone for your help and for just being there. Have a wonderful Christmas all and I will catch you's on the trails soon. Will

Yeah, we'll said Will.  It was a great day.  And the venue just keeps getting better with the work Big John has been doing.

A good mix of riding on the property, riding off the propery and not riding at all!  Meathead took me for squirt around his new loop.  It was more like follow-the-leader, as there was no discernible track to follow!  I think it needs a few more bikes over it to make the track more noticeable.

The only bummer for the day (for me), was that I couldn't get my TS to fire up!  F@&'n thing!

Thanks to all those who helped make it a great day, and special thanks to Santa for making an appearance.  And of course, that's Big Fella.

What a great day. An early start for me and Johnny, leaving home at 5am...but who cares..it is just so worth the effort isnt it. We got to Daylesford township and caught up with Fred and Marls and Dave , Father Ted rocked up...we had a cuppa and headed to the property together. I loved doing the loops as I just seem to flow through them better and better each time I go there. I did make corner man... (Johnny and Ron saw it). Poor Shaz, I felt bad passing her while she was stuck but it was a matter of keeping the ride moving seeing as everyone was behind me..oh actually, i think made corner twice for the day..yay  ;D. We had a moment with a little baby kookaburra that Serge found..appears he may been kicked out of the nest- he was very sweet though, and after we patted him and gooed and gaaed over him, Serge placed him safley out of harms way. Hope he is ok..that bit of track could now be known as Kookaburra Track...yeah i like it.  ;D Had a ball too playing on the track that Mr T has been working on at the property and really loved the little drop off's  ;D...loads of fun. Marls and i cut a few loops aswell as me and Shaz...just so nice to ride with the gals and they are a pleasure to hang out with on the bike. The water truck came in very handy...albeit a little forced on me there at one stage Mr Ross... :o. Didnt Santa look great when he arrived, and the kids were wrapt, was really glad to be there and enjoy it all. And watching the kids cutting their never ending loops as usual was fantastic. They are such good kids. So in and out of the property we went...round and round the track we went..had some water thrown around to keep us cool and we had a blast. Will and Hamish had to leave a bit earlier than we would have wanted but by all accounts everything is fine. I must say whenever i have come to these ride days at Johns, its always just so nice and relaxing...i love that we can all just mill about talking poo and and being social. So thanks everyone for making it what it is ..a fun easy going day, but still with as much or as little riding as you want. Even just the kickin back for a coffee and a chin wag with Ron and Phil...then another little dash out on the bike...no time agendas...very relaxing.
A huge thanks to all involved in putting our lunch together, this is always appreciated in abundance.
My big SMILE and THANK YOU for the day is the AMTRA committe for selecting me for "MOST IMPROVED RIDER FOR 2012"..im stoked and cant quite beleive it. Thank you so much...i have loved learning my bike riding and gaining new skills everytime i jump on it...SO THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH  :-*..Even though I do get a bit too excited at times..i cant help it..I love it so much  :)
So to all who came along and made the day great, well done and thanks.
See you all soon....Love Bob.
P.S Attn Peter Ross....lookin forward to a ride in 2013
P.P.S Attn Al Mason...FUMINA HERE WE COME  ;D
..oh yeah...MERRY XMAS AND A HAPPY 2013 XX

Yep once again John and Family have made a great day out possible. Shaz racked up the k's on and off the block, thanks to everyone who did the loops with her as by the end of the day i had run a few laps myself only to help cut in the new extension loop, not because i like that sort of trail. Yet still didnt ride with Shaz all day. Took Coop and Jamie for the grand tour of the block and for them to practice their log hopping (Coop got a bash plate for his CRF50 which he wanted to test) Was great to see how much Jamie had improved since the last time i saw him ride. Lead a few laps of the big track with the bobble head progaid. And watching them cut laps un assisted now is a treat to watch. Something very cool when they look up at you as you give them a hand, some advice and praise. With them know more about you from the dads stories than you do about them. Very rewarding!! Also thanks to Adam for looking after Coop whilst i got held up a bit on my quick loop. The three of us had a ball, and santa was a bonus for the tackers. Till the next one thanks to all that came, helped and enjoyed the day.
Al, Shaz Coop

Hi All,

First of all a big THANK-YOU to John and the Theisz family for putting on another great day at the property. Thanks to the club for the awesome gloves and goggles for Jamie. He loved his present. I enjoyed a couple of quick laps around the track before lunch. With the exception of the fly's lunch was damn good. Thanks to Al for taking Jamie out with Cooper. He is loving riding more and more each time.
My wife Lisa said Thanks to everyone for their hospitality.  All in all, we had a fantastic day.
Adam :)

Cheers, Gary.
