VTB i have made contact with arewethereyet and he wont be able to make it due to sunday racing commitments.

Hey sorry guys for bailing on this one.

The second round of the DVMCC pony-X is on same weekend, and I paid up my membership and did the first round so gotta have another crack.

I am getting it together though, recovery time is improving after big rides, and getting less arm pump. I am getting used to the bike and getting more confident each ride. Last Sunday was a monster ride, some exploring with a guy checking new tracks out in Toolangi, went from Kinglake end, across to Buxton, and back, exploring (AKA getting FKNG lost cos heaps of sign posts still being fixed from fires) and ended up doing about 200Klms, and roughly 7 hours riding. :ohmy:

Looking forward to getting out with you guys though, just trying hard to get into shape and getting skills sharpened, that’s why the Enduro’s are good, they kinda throw me in the deep end. :unsure:

Have a great weekend though. :cheer: Cheers.

Well for starters it is now official.

i have a green light and we are go for roost off :laugh: :laugh:

I’d like to be on the bikes as early as possible Aido…

but in saying that, my mate Ranga will be up there friday lunch to test the soils for moisture content. there has been a lot of rain up there. i need to know how wet it is to plan. id really like to take you all to walhalla for lunch but it might be a little treacherous for us….me included, via the planned route….

the lake is at 74.2% ( see here http://www.srw.com.au/storagelevel/gm_vol.png ) i dunno if we will be able to ride across it even, that might be our first mission :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

it also depends on who ends up coming. there may be people coming that i/we havent ridden with and may need to cater for their skill levels etc.

just like i did for you not so long ago mate :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

and now look at you ‘blue racer man’ :laugh: :laugh:

you are a machine

i reckon at my caravan at 8am, allow for hangovers and stragglers and off at 9am. meet Sammy and Cheryl for lunch about 1pm and back home somewhere between 4pm and dusk…or so :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

the list is..

Menace
Choppa
Billt
Aido
Tim
Marty
John
Drew
Grant (drews Bro)
Ranga

Smurf…(if he survives his trip to bali) :laugh: :laugh: crazy old fool :laugh:

[dennis da menaceMember]

[drewMember]

FINAL INSTRUCTIONS…….

please arrive around 8AM, im aiming to be on the bikes by 8.30

address….

blores hill caravan park.

wier road, heyfield, vic, 3858.

its site no. 57, (dennis and sams place)

maps-

as it says,
turn left in traralgon at heyfield turnoff, towards heyfield. bypass the township and turn right at the roundabout (where “timberline” service station is) follow the road for about 1km. turn left into wier road (big tree on corner, cant miss it), follow road for approx 5km. caravan park on the right. (if you get to the end of the road, youve gone about 300m too far.

once you enter the park, drive straight past the office (its ok, pay on the way out) follow the “main rd” (red line on map) down the hill. there is a toilet block (facility 2 , on map) on the left and i am 50m past that, also on the left.
you will see my car.

if you get lost, call me. there is phone reception at my van.

please bring a jerry can full and fill your tank before arrival.
fuel is available in town 10 minutes away. we will tie the jerrys to a trailer and Sammy will meet us for lunch at the river and refuel us for the second leg.

i believe roast beef rolls with gravy and slaw are on the menu….

and the usual lolly bags :laugh:

see yous there :woohoo:

[dennis da menaceMember]

this’ll get you exited Drew…

if you look at this..

http://www.land.vic.gov.au/CA256F310024B628/0/D3B8510DA7DB900CCA2576190029B5DC/$File/FS0105+-+Cheynes+Bridge+Trail+Bike+Visitor+Area.pdf

on the first map, which is the west side of Cheynes Bridge, we will be entering from the bottom right corner, (chesterfield tk).

we will have already whipped through some single track, crossed the lake bed, done a bit of bitumen and taken a leasurely ride through some cow ridden paddocks to get to this point…now the fun starts :laugh:

heading north along forest edge tk, a quick right left onto black range link 1, west to porters ck link then porters tk, up to bark hut tk, west across to fultons tk, north up army tk, williamsons spur tk, then east across to spring creek tk, glenmaggie creek track, a right onto black range road and left into cheynes bridge track, which goes down, down, down and down some more to the river at ‘Reids flat”.

by this stage we will be famished. sammy will be waiting with a fire going and a feast of food for us to devour :laugh: :laugh:

then we hit the next map, east of the river…

north up the road to hickey creek tk, jumping mt margaret track and continuing till we turn right into dolodrook tk and folow it to “smoking point”. then north up the avon tk, right into lower block tk, following it south through some 8 creeks and rivers to huggetts crossing, then across to bulldog junction and home….

then its beer time :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
