Will someone be leading a grade 3 ride without too much pushing n pulling involved,as I tend to run out of puff pretty quick on that stuff :laugh:

Yes Tezza I’ll put you in my group mate. That hill I posted is 1 of 2 that may catch you out but there will plenty of help on hand mate.

I’ll be taking my grade 3 bunnies out again soon to confirm my loops are suitable.

I’ve survived 4 or 5 murph’s berg’s!!! :dry: And the rest…. 😆 . Would that qualify for galeys grade 4-5 loop?? :blink: :whistle:

cheers justo

You’ll be fine Justo. From what Galey showed us today he needs to step up his morning loop to a higher level for the hardcore guys. Dozer hill was the hardest this morning (which I didn’t do). I’m sure he’ll have an awesome loop sorted for the ride weekend.

Hey Eags, I will have a look at the Blackfellows Hands track on the wednesday before for you. The last time I went through it was fine. The first half is like a highway now with heaps of trucks using it.

Unless you have heard from X in the last couple of days he send me a pm and said he was a maybe. I think it’s best to direct everyone to Mal soon there in limited confusion IMO

Don’t wake me up at that time. My beauty sleep will still be working it’s magic.

Can anyone tell me what grade the beer drinking seats are please i might need some stabilisers

Think grade 2 for the first 6 beers then grade 3 for the next 12 ( as long as you stay seated). From there it would have to step up to grade 5/6.

STM would be more (if not the most) qualified to grade it after the 12 beer mark. :laugh:

I think you still have some incriminating footage somewhere don’t you mate :blush:

STM

I do mate, but it won’t go on here unless you approve it. It’s not pretty.

Thanks Mal will leave it all up to you, to many cooks here will spoil the broth

Good idea Mal. I just want to know if I will have 5 or 35 riders. No harm in prior planning.Look at what happened to my ride last year. Mutiny by half way.

Pls add riderx to my ride mal. That makes 13 so far!

Mate you wont know exactly how many you will have. There are 90 odd riders and I have about 25 names on the list. Not everyone will post or pm so you will have to do some planning on the fly.

With the calibre of some of the riders on you’re list you may have a reversre mutiny on your hands and a heap of guys pushing you along. 👿

RiderX is on the list mate.

I have 19 on you’re morning loop so far. :woohoo:

[MalMember]

See you guys in the morning. :woohoo:

Galey is the ride still on if it’s snowing? We had a little today around lunch time. It was bitterly cold all day.

Still a good day for riding though.

Lads and Lassies,

Galeys ride will be a mix of grade 4 and 5.

*This has been designed by me to give riders tough challenges for the entire 75kms. I have lads travelling big distances to experience THE WORST HILLS AND TRAILS in Sunny Corner.
*There will be minimal fire trails, even riding in the scrub next to the firetrails at times. The first singles are 100m from camp and the first firetrail is 15km in. This will only give you a breather for 3km before we tackle the hard hills section which are all grouped together.
*You will need a new or near to new rear tyre and a very good front tyre as I have lots of off camber slopes to ride, gnarly hills that demand top traction.
* You will be exhausted and stay exhausted for most of the ride. The only time you will get a rest is when you are at the top of a hill waiting for the sweep to come up. Or if you vomit inside your helmet.
*I have found that on most grade 4 and above rides that you get minimal assistance unless you are hurt or stuck under your bike.

This is a friendly warning as the ride leaders want you to enjoy the ride you do and not whinge about it. So please choose the correct grade for your ability and your safety.

Mods/Admin/TB if this is too harsh , I apologize. I am sure you understand.

Galey you’re dreaming if you think you’re going to do 75Kms. Is that before lunch or should the hardcore guys take a packed lunch?

Also I have a spread sheet with all the pms and posts for leaders and riders. I will update the first post later in week.

Can I ask everyone coming to pm me or post up the ride grade they want to do or lead rider they would like to ride with?

This hopefully will give us an idea of the size of the groups and then we can adjust the rides to suit.

If we have the majority of riders wanting a grade 3, I have another local lead rider on standby (sort of).

Grades/leaders

Eagle – grade 2 adventure style ride

Medogrocket – grade 3ish (hopefully)

Mal5.1 – grade 3 (with help on the hills)

GaleyKTM300 – grade 4 (hill climb heros ride) Some of Galeys hills will suck the life out of the unfit.

Cheers :woohoo:

Hi mal
Can you please add Vidoz35 and myself to your group,
This will be Vidoz35 first go at the good stuff and knowing what your rides are like reckon he’ll have a ball.
Cheers Wazzup
