    I may have a day ride around 19th or 20th if a few bike issues are sorted first.... Up around Neerim/Nojee to the triangle/woods point etc. A longish day but easy enough. Keep ya posted on this thread.

    Rob that was fantastic - like riding through a cloud a butterflies (seriously it was like a plague out there).

    The ride could not have been more fun (ok maybe if I didn't get stuck in the bog hole, it might have been more fun).
    Make sure you send me the pic!

    FYI here is the route:

    Hi Ian, I'll be up of or some weekend rides. I'm interested in some easy/medium level dirt and overnight trips, preferably camping. Next couple of weekends I'm heading off, but mid Feb will be looking good.
