Hi folks,
on 16 Aug last year, we had a blast down the Putty for about 16 of the good folk from here.

Well, SteveCro reminded me, that was a few months back and we said we do it again.

Now by good fortune, we're both available on Wed Feb 28th. So, we thought, well that's d@mn near 6months so we have to do another run. We figure Feb 28 is still about 6 weeks away so it should give everyone plenty of time to plan that rostered day for a bit of riding, rorting and .. well eating and drinking really!

To keep things simple we're suggesting 2 choices:
a) run out on the Putty to Singleton for lunch and possibly beyond if we get away at a reasonable hour. about 350km return from Windsor
b) a run out Bell's Line to Bathurst or Oberon via Jenolan Caves Rd about 450km return from Windsor.

Either run lets us meet (with full tanks please folks!) at the McGraths hill maccas. I'd recommend meeting for breakfast 830, coffee 850 and departure at 915am so we don't waste the day.

It would be really good to get another 12-20 bikes for this run.
If we do the Putty Ride then maybe the central coast, newcastle and taree folk would meet us for lunch.

What say old chaps, do we have any takers? If so please respond with name, bike/model and suburb you're leaving from.

We're an informal group. Everyone's responsible for their own safety, it's no race track and ride at your own pace. No fixed lead rider or sweep but we do have regroup points and need to know who was tail end charlie to make sure we don't lose anyone :-)

I'll post this on the Sprint and Speed Triple lists.

You lucky bastiches living so close to the Putty,love the Putty.Sounds like a brill run,have a good one. :hammer:

If I can get down for it, I will. Obviously I`ll have to come down the day before and will be looking for a bed. Can I stay with you Russ? I must warn you that I wet the bed, have tourettes syndrome and tend to fall asleep with a lit cigar in my hand. Apart from that you won`t even notice I`m there...

miker · 01-17-2007

I can't make it, but Rob, you would be more than welcome to stay with us, except we're away in Vic.

I know for a fact that he doesn't have tourettes, it's just the way he rides.

Have fun, I'll be somewhere on the south coast of Victoria with a fishin' rod.

Hi Rob,
It'd be great to have some of the folk from far away on this list down for a ride, so I'd be more that happy to have you Rob. I can easily do a couple of beds if people aren't too picky :-) , and I can fit a couple of bikes under lock and key no probs.

Miker, sorry you can't make it. I was looking forward to the Triples outnumbering the Sprints ;-)

Hey ruscook, sounds awesome, I'd be interested in the putty to singleton run, it's heading back in the right direction, I'll have to work out if I can swing a day or two off though. I've never riden the Putty before but heard it's great. I'll let you know defenitely when I've worked it out. :yayyy:

ruscook · 01-18-2007

Speedtrip, there's a couple of you up north, so maybe you could make a group ride down. Windsor/McGraths Hill Macca's is only about 3 1/2 hrs from Taree. Be great if you guys could meet us for the whole day.

If that's too far to meet for a 915/930am start, there's plenty of options to enable you to meet at either the 1/2 way house about 70K south of Singleton or even Singleton itself for lunch.

You'd get a great run in via Buckets to Gloucester, Dungog, Gresford (this patch is VERY bumpy) to Singleton as an alternative to a blast down the hwy/F3. Let me know what works for you.

Count me in ruscook, I'll get down to Mcgraths hill for the start. I've been out gresford, dungog way a few times and may come back that way. I used to ride to Gloucester every day for work awhile back. I'd be happy to join up with any guys from up north, otherwise I'll stay in Maitland tuesday night then head down at the sparrows fart.
