G'day all,
Conditions were perfect for our ride down the coast.
A dusting of rain the day before, overcast & mild temperatures greeted the riders that rolled up on the day. The long distance traveller award, goes to Neil, who shunted his awesome looking green steed, all the way from Kerang :) . He departed at 11.30pm on the Friday night to make it to the ride, goodonya Neil  ;) We hope it was worth the trip for you..
After a rider briefing by Frogman, our 'Pointer' of the ride lead us out...
The ride flowed smoothly throughout the morning; with our mate Sandra-Bob conquering her demons & making it down the 2 hills that had challenged her previously...Well Done Bob! I knew you could do it  :D . Shaz & Annie rode extremely well & it was so good to have you along & ride with you all.
After lunch, we headed to Zeb's Track, for him to conquer his demons too  ::) We wanted to make sure he survived it this time round, so we had tied some pink ribbons round the old oak tree,& hung some streamers & plastic bike mudguards over the jump like an Erzberg/Red Bull type finish line..there is NO way he or anyone else would not see it this time...All good, he's survives it...not long after though, we pull up to see Zeb pushing his bike up on a log....he had to fix a flat tyre  >:( ... Zeb, this place is haunting you!
The rest of the ride went like clockwork & for the ones that did the 'Special Sections' from what I hear, you had a blast.
Here are some pics of the day, as usual....

Thanks to:
1. Rossie, Pointer Man all day
2. Johnny & Al, Morning Tailman Duties
3. Gary, Afternoon Ride Leader Level 2 Sections
4. Johnny & Pauly, Afternoon Tailman Duties
& everyone that helped on the day

Until the next ride.....
Cheers,
Marls & Freddo

Thanks to all that came to make this such a fun day...

"The End"

Hey Marls and Freddo, A big thumbs up for the whole day, I had a great ride, and glad I made the trek down! Thanks to all involved, leaders to tailmen. The morning was nice and casual (it needed to be after my drive down!) having settled in, the afternoon was great, and entertaining with some slight carnage on a couple of climbs....although there is a saying "its only funny when it happens to someone else!" And thanks Zeb, for managing to ride "around" and not "over the top of" the klx while it was laid over in a "not so good" place! ;D Thanks again everyone for a great day!
cheers, Neal 

Great report & pic's there Marls,It looks like a great place for a ride, I love the sand riding, I should be on the bike again for ya next ride there Marls. Please put me on the list for the next one.

Thanks Marl's and Freddo for another great day out. And for photo's again. Shaz and i both had a great time and Shaz did well as well as Anne and Bob. Hope Bob's ankle is feeling better. I ve never seen someone in pain, yet still so wound up like a kid on red cordial to have made the down hill? Till the next one, Al

Hey Fred and Marls

Thanks for an awesome day and thanks for the video you made of Brads Noojee ride well done really funny wit the Benny Hill sound track and all.
And thanks to all that helped Rossie, Johnny and Al and Pauly had an awesome day. Hope that Sandra (Bob) recovers
soon.
Cheers guys see you on the next ride.

Hey all,
What a great day with a great bunch of people. I have never ridden down that way before and the travel was absolutely worth it. Those tight tracks with the berms were a highlight for me.
I cant wait to get back out there again.

Thanks a bunch Marls and Fred for organising the day and all those who were leader or following.

Cant wait to see the videos.  ;D

Cheers,
Mark

What a day! I was a bit nervous before I got there, I hadn't been on my bike for 7 weeks and haven't really been on it much before that!  As always Fred and Marls created a relaxed atmosphere, no pressure and just fun to be had.
There was a hill I did on the pre ride a while ago, I didn't like it then, but interestingly, when I wasn't expecting it, I went UP it! good idea to mix it up Freddo!  Paulie and I had an absolute ball. Thank you for organising. Thanks as usual to the tailmen and all those who gave me tips on the day, I reckon I managed to implement them in the arvo and I had a smooth, happy, enjoyable ride all afternoon. Thank you for the help, it does assist no end. Great to meet people and look forward to the next ride at Woodside.
Annie (and Paulie (who can't type))   

You betcha Frankie ;) you're on the list  :) we hope your mending well...cheers..M&F

to marls and freddo thanks you for a great day looking forward to the nexted ride and the cd bazza :)

hi all,,  again a big thankyou to Marls and Fredo for another fantastic woodside adventure, the deal you have with the weather gods is a darn site better than the deal you have with the flat tyre gods, hey Fred. Must comfess at this point though that I didnt complete my tailman duties on the afternoon leg as my berg decided it didnt like the back of the pack and overheated ,so to Paulie a big ups for taking sole tail duties. I had given my knee a bit of tweak on the pre-ride here the Sunday before and was thinking tailman was the place to be,but, sandy tracks just have to be ridden at a bit of pace, so to cool the berg down I did just that,I think it was just what the doctor ordered as my knee held out and is feeling much better, - dirtbike riding , dont you just love it!.
Once again thanks Marls and fredo, Rossi for riding point, Al and Paulie for tail am and pm, Gary clarke for leading in the pm also a thanks to everyone who turned up on the day and made the day what it was - - -bloody good fun!, bring on the next one I say.
     

 ;D..Wow - what a great weekend...again!.. Johnny and I as usual had a terrific time playing in our own backyard..its great living in Gippsland-if for no other reason we can pop over to Woodside anytime we like :)
For those concerned about my ankle..thank you so much but dont be- its all good (well nearly), the knee hurts much more...aha..I had another tumble on Sunday when we went for another play..this time i was trying to beat the boys to the corner. I lost:(.
A few special mentions...
Al...as usual was there when needed to pick me up and dust me off. Im tipping the red cordial effects are better then tears hey mate..cheers and thank you again. But i was so excited to have conquered that what i use to call downhill bit that going up the other side i just lost focus. OOps!
Bob..as in the male Bob..not my alter-ego..thank you for helping me when i tumbled and making sure i was ok. And for your and Sharons company that night camping..and thanks to Sharon for the casserole...what a champ. We know that black panther exists dont we :).
Steve..again a pleasure and next time im taking photos on your way back i will just be sure to be in your way a bit more :)
Annie and Shaz..yay-girl power...well done girls, was great to have you both there..and from what i saw...go you good things :)...
Gary..a message here from 1/2 day Bob...watch the pegs mate:)
To Rossi-our ever present pointman..thank you.
Rudi..just terrific to see your smilin face there again..always a pleasure to see you.
Zeb..please be careful.
After i hurt my ankle..there was a young man who asked if i needed help to get going again- i forgot your name-sorry but thank you.

Marls and Fred...again...thank you so much..you guys have been so good to me and have really helped me along..Fred..im so proud of your hat trick..3 flats in 3 weeks...GOLD!!
To all the new people i met..and to all the people i go to know a bit more..thanks for a great day and cant wait to go again...

bye for now...Sandra...aka..Bob

had a great time on saturday
thanks to everyone who helped out
