Menai this Saturday?

Anyone interested in another run around Menai this weekend? A few of you have mentioned a wish to get back there and explore some more. I would be good for either day, but I will post the ride based on the consensus.

Andy Bloot - are you able to contact this fella down there and ask if he can play tour guide? Wasn't he on Farkin?

Yes Ditty and he seemed keen. But his preferred day was Sunday tho' due to family commitments. Do you want to make it this Sunday (i was thinking newbie local ride) or next Sunday. I'll contact him and see if he's free based on what's most popular and if he can make it.

If its on Sunday I am in for sure.

Hey Ditty, heard back from Ben, the Menai tour guide. He can do Sunday 24th Feb. Can you wait until then? Let me know and I'll get back to him. Or we could do both??

If Menai dosnt work out anyone fancy a trip to Brisbane Water or Ourimbah instead.

this sat or sun I'm in, but I'll probaby have to pass if it ends up 23rd/24th, fine either way.

Okay. Sunday seems to have the inside running so far. But we'll wait and see. Smiling

...would be great.

Liam, will this be a fast-paced ride?

Cheers

Depends on who is attending, but I was not anticipating it being any faster or slower than the last one.

I'm in. That was a good ride last time.

i guess this is weather permitting? if its fine.. count me in. Bikes are on the mend!

Andy Bloot's picture

we can have the guided tour. He can't make it this weekend. Let me know and I will tell the tour guide either way.

on 24th. Whatever, I think I'm in whatever the date. I've got a crap cold. How do I get a cold in Summer?

or your tongue somewhere you shouldn't have

Any Sunday is good for me 24th would be ok.

...bring the newbies ride forward to this weekend and then do the Menai guided tour on 24th? Or is that too complicated? Sorry, changing dates around to make everything fit is second nature to me...

Andy Bloot's picture

You are so irresistable, I can't help stealing a kiss when we meet.
By the way, I like Anke's idea. But that's just me. It seems a bit of hassle.

Little-Ditty's picture

No, the ride will be this Sunday, with or without our guide there. I need to ride there again as soon as possible. Eye-wink

Menai would not be in conflict with the Noobs ride, as not many noobs would want to ride Menai anyway.

Andy Bloot's picture

I think I will have to do the Menai ride this Sunday. It's too good not to. Maybe next Sunday as well (Guided - for those that miss out this week)

anke13's picture

...want to go riding this weekend. Menai or Terrey Hills - either will be good.

Can't believe the amount of response for a Sunday morning ride, but count me in this sunday, i also did a ride here with the trailflix guys and shot a movie so maybe i can assist in directions. Pretty rocky for beginners from what i can remember, but good to build your skills on no matter what your level.

Is this ride going ahead this Sunday?

Just letting y'all know this Menai ride is up in the calendar courtesy of Liam. Fingers crossed she dries out a pit prior to Sunday. I should be there, tho possibly not on my main trail dually. 8|

Cheers,

Except with really heavy recent rain, I have found that Menai dries out really well. It has rained recently for both times I have ridden there, and the track was great. Hardly any soft dirt / mud anywhere. Anyone that is concerned about the weather, don't be. The track will be great. Smiling
