No ride reports Huh.   Looks like I will have to write it myself Shocked.
  We couldn't have asked for a better day, clear blue sky,easy group, fourteen riders.  I decided I would give the triangle a bit of a miss and look at some of the tracks I have not done for a while. There is a couple of more challenging loops behind the pub, and now that the mud has solidified a bit they were good fun.  Whites track goes nowhere but it is a fast hoot for those who want it.  Fisher creek track with the big bog hole is temporarily closed while they fix the bog hole and perhaps they will make us a new bridge. We wait in expectation.
  We crossed the road to the bottom of the Narbathong plantations, looped around through the creek and had a go at Andersons Spur and Boundary Track. Not a good track in the wet, but other than a few logs to get over it was a fun experience.
  The morning marched on and we were a long way from the cake shop, so I opted for the road house for lunch. Pies and burgers all round, but no petrol Huh.  A couple of bikes were low on fuel and went back to the cars.
  I havn't been the full length of Rouches Road for years, slippery in the wet, but again, perfect.  Mind you I do seem to be leading from the rear ::)far too often Cheesy.
  We wandered about a bit, Wattle Path Spur,Crotty Track, Devils Staircase and Ecks Rd to Spur Road.  Lefty's bike seemed to be giving him a headache or two and when we had got to the bottom of Robbies Track we had lost him.  It was getting late, James took Lefty down Black Range to Narbathong and the rest of us continued to the triangle and returned to the cars.
  A bit abbreviated, but a great day had by all (except Lefty Huh Huh).  thanks fellas for your support.

Yeah well done Phil, great day out with the AMTRA mob. Enjoyed the Cruisy ride and some of my old tracks revisited. Yes my day was cut short by gremlins !!! However, Im still working through it. I'll be on the next one champ. Big high five to Gary for picking me up and James for the tow back to Narby. I owe you one champ...I still had 102ks on the clock and was towed at  for 20 min at 95kmph back to Narby, ha ha..

Hi Phil,
Thanks for putting on this ride. The weather was perfect. sunny and not a cloud in the sky, 26 degrees if I remember corectly. Very different from the last time I was there (rain,rain & more,rain).
With a few tracks that i haven't been down before I found the pace flowing nicely. Not being able to get fuel at the road house (where we had lunch),I was a bit concerned about how many k's I would get out of my tank??
But in true AMTRA style the tailman kept an eye on me. With 135k's on the clock, we got back about 4.30pm ish.
All in all it was a great day so thanks again Phil Grin
Cheers Adam

Another great ride Phil. Even got to enjoy a latte in Healesville before the ride. Great weather and a variation on the Marysville triangle. Had a minor off on the way back from the flowing dead end when I hit a slippery patch and went over an erosion mound sideways and in the air. The next bloke back thought it was funny though. Also enjoyed the venture over to the Narbethong side where I have ridden many times with Lefty and our sons. It provided a great variety of slippery and grippy, narrow and 4WD tracks that had something for everyone. Unfortunately I was one who suffered from not enough fuel in the tank after lunch and had to pull the pin early. Hope to get to do your afternoon tracks with the AMTRA guys some other day. With 72k's on the clock anyway I couldn't complain about the day out. Thanks to you and the tailmen for doing your thing. See you on your next ride. Gary
