Get Your Arse to Ashford....Saturday 9 March 2013....Overnighter

[MONO]

So the plan is GET YOUR ARSE TO ASHFORD !

Well it's been too long since the last time I organised an overnighter but with the website revamp and an aim to capture the motivation and do a good old fashioned meet and great by pulling hands off keyboards and putting them on handle bars.

Ashford is a small country town west of Tenterfield NSW and this time of year the temperature will be great.

I've have completely booked out the Commercial Hotel for Saturday, 9 March 2013.



So lock that in your memory....Streetfighters March on the Ninth !

I've spoken to the publicans and they are very bike group friendly and will stay open until our eyes close.

This is not an maybe....we have already booked and we are going.

The Hotel has 11 rooms with various sleeping arrangements, with singles starting at $35 & doubles from $65 with $10 more for airconditioned rooms.

The ride will be leaving from Brisbane, departure time and route details TBA.

Please put your name down if you want to go and I will start a list. The pub will hold our booking for a few weeks. If you can't confirm now, you will be able to contact the pub yourself later.

Depending on numbers and interest received, I may open this ride to other like minded people.

Last ride I organised was Harvey Bay and we filled the place. I think it went something like this....



Everyone is welcome whether they do the ride or even just meet us there.

So put your names down so we can start the ball rolling......

Top spot that Mr Mono we were out that way weekend before last , March is much better time as is Fucking Hot when it wants to be


Supercharger and I were also out there in winter, roads not as bent as we would like but an awesome ride anyway and it seemed the whole town came out just for us


sorry wont be making it as will not be back till the 10th of March but have a great time anyway.

That's fine I knew you would be away, wish I was going too

So this is for other's that just can't wait for AFR, like a prequil I guess.

Maybe some southerners could organise a ride and we meet up along the way.

But don't worry Mr Snake there will be others.

yep nigel

[Tony Nitrous]

We do a few run's down to Tenterfield and back.

Normaly go: Beaudesert, Rathdowney, Kyogle, Casino, Tenterfield,
then grab a bite to eat and head back home the same way.
Lion's Rd hasnt been great so normaly go from Rathdowney up to
"The Bus Stop" T-junction and turn left to Kyogle.
Few boring sections but several really good bit's to enjoy a play.

Which route you thinking of ?

[MONO]

If anyone got any favourite roads we'll try to include them, but the gist of it wil be drake hotel for lunch and probaly ma ma creek home.

I might poke up there for a catch up, I'll keep an eye on the thread and book closer to the date when I can confirm.

1000ks of varying bitumen from spectacular to abhorrent, 40k's of dirt (check the map nigel not google) on dusk with roos and pigs everywhere @ 100k's an hour with tinted visors haha, the publican had given up on us and was about to close but when we finally got there she gave us the run of the joint, the pub had seen better days maybe 102 years ago, but the beer was superb the company fantastic and the only thing harder than the beds was the steak,

what a great ride and great company the TL didnt miss a beat but fuck im sore.

Thanks for organising Nigel
