Title: wade/phils dom dom slide athon Post by: rat on October 10, 2010, 09,33:00 AM what a ripper day for a ride..had a great day on the trails.met quiet a few new members today and we all had a great time. more 2baggers than 4stroke mashers.
started out with 20 i think . even tho there wasnt any rain it was still quiet the slippy burgandy red clay.it caught you un awares but made for some good laughs.. we managed 70.6 ks in the morning and that was enough for us long drivers, but wade and the gang can fill you in on the arvo session..ive got heaps of footage but nuthing realy to inspiring to edit straight away.ill go thru it over the next few nights and chuck somthing together. great ride wade cheers..kinda felt weird out there without you phil, we was thinking of you.. :) Title: Re: wade/phils dom dom slide athon Post by: Wade E on October 12, 2010, 09,58:12 AM As the Ratman said we did 70km for our morning loop, a bit more than the 40km I planned but the group moved along well around the Triangle area and without any incidents making for a great ride. This being enough for most riders on the day. Seven of us did a 40km afternoon loop over on the Narbethong side and again no hold ups. Mark, Phil on the Gas Gas and Myself did a short ride up strictland spur to round out 170km day. Hope all those riding with amtra for the first time enjoyed their day come back again if you did and try a another amtra ride.
Thanks Mark for your patient tailmaning all day.

To the non AMTRA members on the ride..Hope you had a good time and come back for more! Hey Wade..Did you find out who the other riders were with an AMTRA jersey in the lead? Title: Re: wade/phils dom dom slide athon Post by: georgesanos on October 13, 2010, 03,02:03 AM Thanks for a great inroduction to AMTRA Wade. You ran a well organised and fun group. The day was awesome I had a great day and learnt heaps from some of the other riders. Thanks heaps also to Alan, Chris, and Tony - all made me welcome and lent a hand..
