Riding in 2012

[MONO]

Just putting it out there to see if anyone/everyone would like to go on a few more organized rides next year.
See I would like to step up the SEQ ASF ride scene next year, and I'm puting out some feelers to see who's intrested so I'm throwing a few ideas out....however open to any suggestions as well. Here are a few options, some we have done before and worked well.....so cast your vote........

[Tony Nitrous]

I meant to do the Nov 1770 run again this year but due to
money and moving it never happened. Done 3 with ASF and
had a ball. Doesnt have to be in November though.

I normaly just do lots of day run's....
# Farmers Arms via Mt G and Esk,
# Bruxner Hwy via Lion's Rd and Casino,
# Malaney over Mt Mee,
# Around Somerset Dam to Kilcoy,
# Queen Mary Fall's from Peaks crossing / Boonha.

[stiffsimon]

Er I voted for all of them. Does that make me a sad fuck with no mates?

[wackyrider]

A bit far to go for a ride Simon don't you think :)

[stiffsimon]

Nah, it's only a couple of fingers width away on the map and anyway Km's are shorter than miles :)

[craig]

Hey Mono, it'll be good to catch up on some of these rides. I'll try to get to as many as possible so if you want to head up regular or at least more frequant rides this would be great. I'll support that.

[MONO]

Yea Craig me too, Fish got some good numbers recently so I'm thinking more rides !!

Tony's got some classic's when it come to day loops

Also really keen on a annual location meet up & ride sort of what the boys are doing with the NFR but a thousand k's north or so

[Tony Nitrous]

Saw "Beaker" off the B-King forum today.

He's keen to do some rides.
Told him to join up here.

I like this idea. I'm thinking Airlie Beach Via Toowoomba (You can pick up the Toowoomba boys like Harry, DC Racing and I on the way through), and head up there via Monto, Gayndah, Biloela (Meet the Gladstone boys here) on up over Mount Morgan and into Rocky. We can then take the scenic loop via Emerald to Muckeye or run the boring as fuck Marlboro stretch. I'll leave that open for debate.

But I'm in assuming of course we do it around Easter time. Why Easter? gives me the ability to have the Wifey at her folks place with the kids and time off Uni etc etc plus number 6 won't be born then so I'm a shot at a leave pass for a week or so of we take a couple of days wandering up and down.

[Fish]

I'll be in for as many as I can. This year I'm studying though, so that will probably restrict me a little.

[Harry]

sound's good...im in if im not workin :)

should have a look at the rally calender as well....conendale ect

[Slain]

Sounds like i need to rego the efe pretty soon :)

[Bob]

Im keen for some more Queensland rides next year. Happy to go up north or out west.

[MONO]

Ok i've got some plans happening some soon some down the track .
Will post all rides/meet ups here so they are easily found by all, hence the title.
They will also be put up on the calender so keep a eye on it too
Feel free for anyone else to organize any rides too

[Tony Nitrous]

Wouldnt be suprised if Mt G became a bit of a hot spot
for cop's soon. I know it always has been, but 3 riders off,
2 of them fatal in the last week. Just worth thinking about.

[T0mm0]

I'm keen for some rides, that lions road isn't the best at the moment though!

[Tony Nitrous]

Went down through Peaks Crossing today.
Boonah, up the back way to Queen Mary Fall's.
Had a feed. Home via settlers way and over
Cunninghams Gap. Back across to Boonah,
Beaudesert, Jimboomba, Brissy.

Another option that I sometimes do with one of the forums is:

One of the riders who's bikes off the road, or someone's Mrs,
or just a volunteer, sets off to a local park and sets up a BBQ.
Everyone else has a good thrash around in the group and meet
up at an approximate time. Few loaves, packs of sausages and
Woolies 50c cans of coke and it Hot Dogs or Ice cold can's
for $1 and any profit go's to the forum.

Advange is its cheaper than a pub lunch, Money helps out and
its OK to bring family/Kids/a football/non riding members.

Sometimes use the Red Cedar/White Cedar BBQ area's behind
Glorious or Camp Mountain lookout (BAD name!) near Nebo,
both ideal after a spirited lap of Somerset Dam/Splityard Creek.

[El_Hefty]

i voted all of the above Mono im keen for miles on the bike

[Tony Nitrous]

Living on the Northside now, and wanted a quick
morning ride today.

Bunya Rd,
Samford,
Up and over Mt Glorious,
Some nice fast sweepers out to Somerset,
Twistys around the Dam,
Kilcoy,
Neurum Rd to Woodford,
Back over Mt Mee,
Daybro,
Samford,
Home.

Was only about 220k's but had some fun sections
and several places to chose from for fuel / coffee.

Could easily have added a detour up to Nebo, Malaney,
Splityard Creek to Fernvale or similar to have extended it.

[Redmohawk]

Voted for all 4 but the meltdown ride option (most important) wasnt there ! You know the one , when if you don't just get on the bike and fuck off for at least a week you will start grabbing fucktards that need it and sqeezing till eyes pop n shit.

[Tony Nitrous]

Very keen to do the 1770/Agnes water run again this year.

Done it 3 times with ASF and enjoyed eveyone.

Always been in November, so might leave it around then,
(how much notice do you need !)

Maybe this time we avoid schoolies week when booking rooms!

Might do a group run up or maybe meet folk there, not sure.

550k's from Brissy up the highway,
600/650 if yo go the Malaney / Bunderberg backroads.

[MONO]

Ok a show of hands for this Sunday the 15th, a pub lunch run
Heading south over the boarder all welcome
First ride for 2012
Details to follow ....

[MONO]

Was thinking about a run down through Rathdowney / Kyogle and then across to Uki for lunch.

Some of you guys from down south could meet us up for lunch.

Any takers ?

If not, then we might come up with another plan for next weekend.

[MONO]

Option 2 for this w/end is a breaky run up to Kenilworth ?? Sunday morn back around lunch.
making a solid decision tonite, ride is happening this Sun.

[El_Hefty]

either way im out family bbq

thanks though Mono

[robmac]

No go for me. Hopefully next time.

[craig]

Hey Mono. l'm a yes for the south side and may have a couple extra. I shouldn't go but keen to support your efforts in organising rides. Cheers.

[Jinx]

Bugger. Can't make it either. Stuck in the desert and dont get back to Qld until Wednesday arvo :mad:. Kenilworth was looking good.

[Shadowzone]

I'm out for anything over the next 3 or 4 weekends until I finish exams. It's hibernation time for me as of Monday which means family time this weekend before i disappear into the books and pretty much don't see or speak to the Mrs and kids for the few weeks leading up to them.

[Bob]

I can't this weekend... Keen to get out and ride tho.

[MONO]

OK here's the bones.

Run this Sunday (tomorrow), 15 January 2012

Two meeting points along the way in the morning.

Meet 7.45am leave 8.00am - Shell Servo (Hungry Jacks), Loganlea Road, Meadowbrook (heading south on M1 take Exit 24 - Winnetts Road and go over the motorway onto Loganlea Road).

Meet 8.45am leave 9.00am - Caltex Servo, Telemon Street, Beaudesert (on the main drag)

Uki Pub around 12.30pm NSW time for anyone that just wants to meet up for lunch.

On the return trip, The Bearded Dragon is good place to stretch your legs.

Everyone welcome.

Any questions, queries, or ideas, post them up or you can catch me on 1800 MC TYRES.

Should be a great day. Uki Pub is very biker friendly & does a great lunch.

Cheers

MONO

[Fish]

Wish I could go, unfortunately I'm celebrating 3 birthdays on sunday.

[lurch]

I'm out for anything over the next 3 or 4 weekends until I finish exams. It's hibernation time for me as of Monday which means family time this weekend before i disappear into the books and pretty much don't see or speak to the Mrs and kids for the few weeks leading up to them.

+1...except for the family/kids bit & the assignment I have due Monday that I'm currently working on :(

[Shadowzone]

I have one due Monday which I got a weeks extension on and one due friday which I haven't and wont be extending.

Plus the exam hibernation/study till my eyes and brain bleed. So I'm a killjoy. Then I think I may be moving to Townsville a few days after my exam, so I'm kinda screwed really. I'm pretty sure the Mrs aint gonna like it when i tell her...

[craig]

Thank's Mono for a great day. It was wet but we had a lot of fun. Well worth the effort as it always is so next ride make the effort.
The rides will always clash with someones plans but there is enough of us that hopefully a couple can always make to keep Mono interested in organising more rides.

[Fish]

Good stuff guys, look forward to some more rides.

[DCRacing]

missed that one......
but i was up the coast with the family and i think we were listening to the kids whinge about tired legs while we wandered around the Australia Zoo.............
Should have gone riding :)

[MONO]

Sorry haven't been slack, been busy and have now found the time to do a review.
Ride went as planned a little damp at the start but the weather after lunch soon fixed that.... it totaly dumped down hahaha.
Found some new back roads, saw a burnout, and managed to find a couple of dead ends, even a road closure. All up 480ks and had a great time just ask any one of us ! Can't wait for the next one....

[BANDITROD]

wheelies with the missus on the back a++++++++++ mono fucking cool pics mate

[lurch]

Fuck it! I'm out for at least a few weeks. Have somehow ended up with Bell's Palsy which means the right side of my face is temporarily paralysed and I'm having a few issues with vision on that side. That makes twice to emergency in 3 wks - once with salmonella at xmas and now this. Hadn't seen a doctor in years before now ;)

[Shadowzone]

Too much driving with the window down Lurch?

[lurch]

Too much driving with the window down Lurch?

Unfortunately no. Although that could probably cause it in winter around here :p

[slow rider]

Have to keep an eye in here as I'm keen for a ride, but just have to make sure I don't double date. As missus and kids keep you busy. Holy molly I wish I could mono like that, I could mono alright on my old trailie but I have trouble with the MT.

[Tony Nitrous]

Dispite all the reacent rain, the back way up the Queen Mary Fall's isnt too bad.
3 little fords/creek crossings were flowing a bit but still do-able.

[Tony Nitrous]

.... and a little closer to home, I've found a 5k long service road,
dead end, new bitumen, but once you've been in once for a look,
you know the 2nd time in there will be no suprises....

;)

[Tony Nitrous]

Not a "Fighter" but still a nice morning to be out
clowning about after all the recent rain....

Ride to MACKSVILLE 30th

As you have probably know Macksville in on again, so for those heading down from the north there will be a meeting point friday morning 20th Brisbane, Narang/Gold Goast, then hope to colect as many on the way. Between 400-500ks one way returning April 1st. Or come for just a day ride Everybody welcome.
Stay tuned details to follow....

[Bob]

Yep, I head to macksville, meeting a maccas mate?

[Tony Nitrous]

Service road into the new dam between Boonah and Beaudesert is fun.

http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/1183/d92i.jpg

[Gix11]

They ruined the old Boonah road and turned it into that straight piece of shit between the two. Was really disappointed when I went down it the first time. Obviously you're not on about that Tony, so where is the service road?

[Tony Nitrous]

Entrance is off the old road near the Beaudesert end.

Normaly do a run in to check it out, gravel, cop's, dead roo's.
Then back out again, then 2nd time in is "yeee-F#rkin'-haaa"

[Gix11]

That was my favourite road; can't believe they fucked it!

[Snake_Doctor]

[Gix11]

?? How did he lose it on such open roads?

[Tony Nitrous]

He hit a cattle grid hard just before he went over a crest.
It spat him off and went end over end a few times.
