darin No one calling rides??
I want to ride on Sat. I was thinking about taking a wander around the Lakes area (old section) We havn't ridden there for ages and I have not plotted a route there, so take note, it will be slow!!!
I also do not mind doing another Metro ride.

Unless someone comes up with a better idea I will call it. Post if you are interested and vote your preference of Metro's or Lakes and we will give the democratic process a 2nd chance lol.
Once I know where we are riding I will work out the details.

TigeR Call for volunteers for the RTRA ...

For those who haven't seen the latest RTRA email, there's a call for volunteers ...

http://rtra.asn.au/what/volunteer

... the pilot trail at Metro Rd will be an interesting project.

Don't just sit there in front of your computer ... volunteer!

TigeR Wed, Sep 01 2010 12:11LEGEND .. sort of (64 rides)
TigeR That's no good Mick. Bike has been added to the noticeboard.
Post some photos on the gallery.

(What about the other items on the noticeboard - are they still for sale? 2 x DRZs, CR500, Steering damper ... post if they are else they'll be removed in a while).

mickmoore Sadly crusty friends, it has come to pass that I wont be able to ride for the next 18 months or more. So, 1 x Honda CRF450x 2008 for sale! Bashplate, Rad guards, ridden but never abused, $7000.

Hopefully when I make another return to riding Legends like Roley, Peter, and the ever optimistic Pounce will still be on the trails!

Colin Sun, Aug 29 2010 17:15Crusty to the core (181 rides)
Colin Some nice footage of the enduro. For those who are a bit hesitant to give an enduro a go, it generally isn't much tougher than a Mick450 ride - It just those bloody special test that can be a bit trying.

Biggles Sun, Aug 29 2010 16:14Diehard (12 rides)
Biggles For those of you who missed the Grimwade Enduro you might like this footage of the two special tests and a bit in between,

Colin You da man Brownie.

brownie Sat, Aug 28 2010 17:43Diehard (10 rides)
brownie Being the avid flower appreciator that I am (not to mention my current floral arrangement 101 course I am completing at midwest Tafe college) I will of course be lining up in the old stomping ground to school the lot of you in riding the red dirt.
So There!

Colin Sat, Aug 28 2010 16:26Crusty to the core (181 rides)
Colin Roley - If Brownie comes up with that lame excuse again I'll have to ride Iron man. Merv had no intention of going to Perth for the weekend and is only going for an excuse because he is toooo scared.

KLXTony Sat, Aug 28 2010 15:34Player (4 rides)
KLXTony Looking at doing the P/E Colin. Heading out there this Wed/Thur to mark it out with Simon. Spent last Wed checking the place out and finding some loops. Not going to comment this time on lack of dust as Leighton Station was dusty by the time the event was ran. Wild flowers are in full bloom out there for all you new age metro sexual guys (Brownie).

merv Sat, Aug 28 2010 15:13Diehard (12 rides)
merv Sorry Col I'm in Perth next weekend.

roley Sat, Aug 28 2010 13:21SUPER STAR (143 rides)
roley Brownie will probably have some lame excuse!

Colin Sat, Aug 28 2010 12:24Crusty to the core (181 rides)
Colin Mullewa Pony Express - I,m in. OK Brownie or Merv - who is up for it.

roley Sat, Aug 28 2010 11:28SUPER STAR (143 rides)
roley Come-on CQers I might be pulling a Brownie (the bunged up knee excuse! LOL) but where are the rides being called? Its the winter time - we live for the winter months and I can only sit at home and think about a ride, though the knee is on the mend!

Oh for the next year's WCST ride please don't call it after the 17th June as I will be on my 8 day Postie Bike Run fund-raising ride to Broome for the Toodyay Lions Club & the Royal Flying Dr.

FYI

Geraldton MX Club - Pony Express Sept 5th

Woodradden Farm Mullewa
4Hr Pony Express / Ironman Event

Camping:
Camping area is located at the start, great spectator viewing…..that’s all that is needed for a great weekend away……
There will be a BBQ after the event.

Course Details:
Natural flowing tracks, breakaway bush with a number of river crossings following the contour hill sides with single-trails. All areas are challenging for all levels of rider. Lap distance is approx 15ks

Tony Sat, Aug 28 2010 10:11Diehard (26 rides)
Tony For anyone that is keen and did not manage a ride today, Katanning Offroad Club are holding a 4 hour Pony Express tommorrow. Hooters and I will be going down to take part. Give one of us a call if you are interested.

darin Sat, Aug 28 2010 10:08Diehard (31 rides)
darin Well, No CQer called a ride and I have been caught and sentenced to hard labour by the "Housework Police" :(

Colin Sat, Aug 28 2010 09:10Crusty to the core (181 rides)
Colin Thanks Micky!!

mick450 Sat, Aug 28 2010 00:54LEGEND (65 rides)
mick450 Don't know the dates for WCS next year yet. It will more than likely be in June around the same time. Georgina & I spoke about dates and we decided to wait to see what other events were on so that our ride didn't clash with any other ride.

Colin Fri, Aug 27 2010 23:22Crusty to the core (181 rides)
Colin Who is looking after the WCS tour booking date for next year. I want to book some leave in advance and do not want to miss out on the ride.

Fueltanker Allen Fri, Aug 27 2010 18:52Diehard (27 rides)
Fueltanker Allen A bit quiet you say, 15 reports in the last two months shows a keen group. Welcome Felix.

Pounce Fri, Aug 27 2010 17:26LEGEND (71 rides)
Pounce Hey Felix, it seems to be a bit quiet at the moment.
Just keep an eye on the board & the events section for anything going on.

Felix Fri, Aug 27 2010 16:50Visitor (0 rides)
Hey guys.. Just wanna introduce myself.
Moved over here from NSW a few months back and looking for riding buddies. Im keen most weekends plus can squeeze the odd midweek ride in.

Biggles Thu, Aug 26 2010 18:25Diehard (12 rides)
Biggles Thanks Tommy, Pounce LOL, LOL

Pounce Thu, Aug 26 2010 16:32LEGEND (71 rides)

Tommy Thu, Aug 26 2010 15:36LEGEND (50 rides)
Tommy Biggles that is the same model I have if I can find the website that I got my maps from I will let you know.

Biggles Wed, Aug 25 2010 19:18Diehard (12 rides)
Biggles I have just purchased a Garmin 60CSX and I am looking for advice on suitable topo maps, possible alternatives to the expensive Garmin Aus Topo.

Something compatible with what is in use with the Crusty's.

PS Nice ride report Tige
