Unfortuantly due to circumstances beyond my control the next ride has been cancelled as Glen is unable to make it due to other commitments. I appologise for any inconvience that this may have caused and I look forward to seeing you all at the the next ride which will be closer to home on Sunday 10th of August (which I will be avaliable for)  It is a southern city urban outskirts ride riding leaving from the Tourist office at 10 am and back to there approximately 20 km (easy ride). I hope to see you all then or out on the trails before.

Rod O'Connor (0412 991197)

Hello All Fellow Mountain bikers,

It was great to see so many of you at the last ride (the Telecome track ride at Invergowrie)
Just to let you know the next ride is planned for Sunday 13 th July 2003
It is classed as a Hard ride 35 km in length with both up and downhill riding in a loop track near the old sawmill area.
The Meeting point will be the Armidale Tourist Information Centre at 7 am SHARP ( YES 7AM ) and then a car convoy out to the riding point (approxiamtely one hour east of armidale - bitumum road most of the way along the grafton road and then on to the Kempsey road  (dirt) ). If you need a lift please contact Glen or Bamf prior to the ride day to organise a seat for yourself and your bike.

As we are trying to cater for all mountain biking styles and riding abilities please contact Glen Witherdin 0402 811 384 or 6771 3184 (ride co-ordinator) or Anthony Bamford 0422 667 092 if you have any questions re this ride as unfortuantly Allan and Myself are away this weekend.

This ride is a full day ride so please remember to bring a packed lunch and snacks in your bag and pleanty of water and make sure your bike is in full working order before you start riding.

The next ride after this one will be closer to home on Sunday 10th of August (which I will be avaliable for)  It is a southern city urban outskirts ride riding from the Tourist office and back to there approximately 20 km (easy ride). I hope to see you all then or out on the trails before.
 

Other Comments/ Feedback:

I have been asked about changing the day to be a Saturday ride not a Sunday ride however the concensus is that Sundays are for most people a better day (however that doesn't mean that people don't ride on Saturdays) So if you are looking for extra rides fell free to email everyone and see if any one is keen to join you and the Monthly ride is designed to be starting point for riding not the only ride for the month.

Camping/Riding trips:
If anyone is interested in these please email me with your ideas/intesest and thankyou to those that have already have. We will look at these when the weather warms up a little.

No funeral... I'll be there, with your pump!

Yarrowick is a reasonably easy ride with some funky jumps that will challenge you if you should choose to take them on.

Well.... trotter didn't show, patman broke his pedal after about three
turns (something about big drops at uralla... 2 feet or something?) and
the creek crossing is alot deeper than it was!! Got some nice shots of
Scott crossing up off the water bars, though...

6 is now officially too early, seeing it was still too dark at 6:15.
Time to cut down the pre work routine, rob! Still a beautiful morning
out, though, very pretty and peaceful up on the hill out the back.

PATman would like to say the following...

[[[Ummm so... ridin just got high tech. Reckon we could hook up a
satellite video link on our next ride so the wannabees can see us LIVE
??? Might have benefits in terms of corporate sponsership, media
coverage... groupies ???
think of the fame guys. BRING IT ON.
I'm keen if Trott is.

Cheers fans- Adz]]]

Went to Tamworth today... got the bike serviced, front rim straightened
out, bought gloves, clipless shoes (thanks for the pedals, Ad!) and
some white lightning (none for you trotter!)- ready to roll on Sun arvo
and/or next wed morning; anyone?! Also, a sat morning/arvo to yarrowick
on the 14th?

Don't forget to tell anyone you know who rides about this egroup; the
more the merrier!

Gary

it works, it works!

G'Day,

Just thought since I'm the moderator of this group I'd explain
myself... the only reason I am is that Trotter is too much of a
techno-pygmie to work it out himself, so I did it. I won't be doing any
moderating, but if you want to change anything about how it works,
you'll have to do it through me and my password... [the power, the
power!!!].

By the way, I'm Gary Eastment, and in my non riding life I work full
time at the UNE chaplaincy. I ride a giant yukon the same as Rob's
(except I haven't spent 5 times the value of the bike doing mine up!),
and I enjoy watching trotter and Pateman stack (which happens often,
fortunately).

I'm hoping you'll use this to tell people about rides, provide track
notes, let everyone know who has made a fool of themselves on a bike,
etc etc.

Hope you enjoy the group and find it useful,

Gary
