Riding from Buttaba to the Gap then onto Bangalow
Might cut out some of the singles before the Gap so everyone gets a chance at the Amazon
All are welcome but it is a grade 4/5 so there will be some tricky bits :whistle: :laugh: :laugh:
Ready to ride by 9:00 (late start as we are riding Wauchopey Saturday)
Bring money for a splash of fuel and a bite to eat.
Don’t forget your oil for the 2 strokers;)
Will PM starting point to all who are keen

Will have to cap this ride at 12
A few tips on how to make a good ride a great ride
Never ride past (or over) a downed rider
Always ask if the downed rider needs assistance
Never ride above your ability, sure its alright to push a little but be bloody careful
On open tracks always assume a 4wd will be drifting wide around bends and corners
The leader and sweep will be wearing flouro vests, so never go past the leader unless OK’d
In my experience the corner man system works best if the leader puts up his hand at a corner he needs the next rider to stop at, and the corner man acknoledges by nodding.
Corner men should try and have their bike facing in the direction of the ride.
Never leave your post until the sweep rider comes through
Even better if you can count the number of bikes gone past so as when the sweep comes up your ready to continue
If there is a problem the sweep may send a man to the front to tell the leader whats going on. This rider should inform all the corner men to stay at there posts and tell them whats happening. If the leader has to return he will pick up all the corner on the way back.
On the big hill climb, once you have made each section, please park your bike and assist others.

These tips will without doubt make the ride flow better
