Ardmore on Wednesday?

[Sammikins]

Anybody going?

[Hemex]

Anybody going?

Never been there before and have been keen to go!! Just depends on how much work I've got on... Should know Wednesday morning.... You headed there? Need a lift if I go?

[Reckless]

Shit Sammy its a pretty full on place my girl. Especially if they don't spilt A & B into sessions!! At your speed you will get the crap roosted out of you. There is no beginners track there either.

Its the last evening session I think 4-8pm before the time changes to daylight savings time of 2-6ish. But check with the raceline on Wednesday Ph:268-0886.

I'll try and make it if I can.

[Sammikins]

hHhhhhHuuuuuUUH???! clmintie said ... hang on.. grah! awww i thought they split it up and had maybe a group for goobers like me... bugger. :bash:

[oldguy]

hHhhhhHuuuuuUUH???! clmintie said ... hang on.. grah! awww i thought they split it up and had maybe a group for goobers like me... bugger. :bash:you should be fine, both Grace and Sophie ride there, i ride there and im crap, so if they do split i would be in the same group as you.

[raglanash]

Hope to get there, its the last 4-8 session until daylight savings next summer.
You'll be right, just stick to your line and they will go around.

How much harder is it than say the B loop at thundercross... cos that was a bit of an epic fail for me...

[barty5]

would be easyer than thunder just a shit load more bike cause it a lot lot smaller track. And speaking of thunder looks like we will be heading that way on sunday if anyone else is keen, cant be arsed drivin way up north at the moment.

[Boosted]

Sam, its a pretty cool track but its very hard at the start when he waters the track, very slip and slidey :) i might be going, so if you need any help just give me a call...

[raglanash]

Last Mr moto ride this Sunday Mate! Might see if my daughter wants to come seeing as how they have good learner tracks now!! Wises says its an hour away from Chowick so not to far!

[Sammikins]

Hmmm that does look pretty cool... but i dont wanna be the slowpoke that gets in everyone's way.... :2guns:

Yeh i saw that but was keen to have a go on the new moto track at thunder before the close for winter i wont be back out after this for a few weeks unless i squeeze in a day ova easter. Plus there wont be as many there due to a few other rides being on.

Thunder doesn't close for winter does it?? But its a good option, makes sense to what you say I can take her their. I'll check with my boy tonight see where he wants to go!

Sorry to Hijack your thread Sammy!
Ardmore is a good track and the other riders are really good out there, but I personally think it would be more fun for you if you can at least get through the Thunder B loop and you are good enough for a slowish go on the main loop at Harrisville. Even I ride in the Ardmore B group if its divided up for old farts and learners. Others could well disagree and we'll look after you out there but that's Just my 2c! Up to you, Your very keen 100 points for that!!!

[barty5]

yeh as far as im aware we went to go last year and was told close to wet reopens in spring.

[Boosted]

its a really cool track and theres slow people there anyways, you'll be fine, just dont be the first bike out, or you won't have any fun at all :P

[Sammikins]

Yeah but Im like S L O W. :gob:

[Boosted]

[Hemex]

Are you heading out from Albany bro? If I'm work free then we could just go in my ute or your van?

[Sammikins]

Im like on the end of bucklands beach peninsula, middle of nowhere! Ooohhhhh rrrrr i dunno, i kinda wanna go.. does it cost much? and it will be my wedding anniversary that day, husband gets funny when i go off dirtbiking with guys he doesn't know... :no:

[Boosted]

hahaha well doesn't bother me 2 much ill be trying to go out anyway, need the practice spesh when ill be going down to the bach again this weekend seen the speed fest is on :) so need to get in for a ride....

and yeh prob cruz in the van bro :) will let ya know if i can get off work also

[barty5]

Yeah but Im like S L O W. :gob:

So youd be as quick as cheese then.

[Boosted]

lol poor cheese :P

[Sammikins]

So youd be as quick as cheese then.

only maybe if you tied a mule to the back of his bike...

[barty5]

only maybe if you tied a mule to the back of his bike...

ill say it isnt he the mule.lol

[Sammikins]

ill say it isnt he the mule.lol

Doesn't matter, you could tie cheese to the back of the bike and let the mule drive it would still be faster than me

[barty5]

Just takes more practice sounds like your out on your bike more than he is so shouldnt take to long.

[krad_nz]

If you don't mind being passed by lots of people and getting roosted you will enjoy it. Even in the B group there are fast riders. Mainly youngins' etc.

If you go out when the tracks wet and aren't going fast enough you may find yourself not being able to get to the top of some of the jumps and sliding back down again. So, go faster or wait until it drys out a bit.

I've been there once and as it was pretty quiet there weren't enough riders to split it up into A/B groups. This means you are exposed to some of the quicker riders. This isn't a bad thing though. Just hold your line and enjoy the roosting :pinch:

I did have someone land on my swing arm though. I was fine, he came off :woohoo: (probably thought I was going faster than I was, damn)

[Boosted]

krad it was prob me who landed on you, ive landed on so many people there lol... eg telliman hahaha

[mattwood]

im pretty keen to head up for a fang. Finally got myself a van and my ankles out of plaster!! Might see if i can take half the day off next wednesday and cruise up. How much does it cost??

[flyingcr250]

i might be headn out to thunder, i too want to try out the mx track,

[Boosted]

$15 for non members on wes night

[SpikedPunch]

I'd like to check it out some day:woohoo: not this Wed though, still a bit sore from the weekend.

[krasher]

I'm pretty keen for this. I am up in Red Beach, but I have a meeting midday. Is this an afternoon thing/all day thing? or what? Would be keen to buddy up with somebody as I would be coming on my own.

I figure somebody has to show sammi what slow means.

[clmintie]

Sophie was near enough same speed as you when she started riding at Ardy. Important rule number one (and Sophie took a while to get the hang of...) is 'hold your line' so you are predictable for those passing.... Other rules don't really matter compared to number one.....

She would just sit on the container watching and waiting until the track was to her liking, actually she still does and loves Ardy..........

I think it's $20 for non-members...

Can't help with anniversary advice, right from the start my wife and I decided to make birthdays and anniversaries dates flexible, so they could be celebrated without stress..........

[Boosted]

you sure its 20? lol i always get charged 10 lol... and somedays she charges me 15 but yeh *shrugs*

but your right, hold your line or most likely i'll jump on ya :P hahaha

and its 4-8 this wes and now daylight saving is finishing its going to be 2-6

[Pierce]

I got told last wed was the last 4-8 ride...? Jay thinks that is what it said on the raceline.
Wonder if there is a wildman on this weekend?

Give him the night of his life on Wednesday and then come out to Thunder with us on Sunday. Much more time for you to ride there and you have a downhill to conquer if I remember rightly! My daughter is coming as well, she'll give 1/2 the B a go if she see's you havin a go. Bring Hubby with you if you want plenty of bike for him to have a go on, my sons 200 will be good for him. When he meets us family guys he'll be more relaxed about you coming out with Climintie and me! I'll see if Ray (he lives by you) and his wife want to come as well! We'll pit up the top paddock this time.
Climintie might be in too.

Better start another thread I suppose so all the Kber's can find out!

I can't I've already got the family planning a big BBQ thing and they've invited people and stuff.... :no:

[Reckless]

OK Ray out too! If it all falls apart might go with my girl anyway (or do Riverhead or Mr Moto) with my son? Dunno? wanted my daughter to have a fun day out for her first time out, other girls her pace to ride with would've been good. Reckon you two would get on good. Always another time though aye! LOL!!

Where you goin Climintie? might txt A&R see what he's up to! The learners tracks at the Mr Moto rides have been very good for them as well! That might be the best choice for her!
Decision Decisions LOL!!! Bloody great to be spoilt for choice in gods own isn't it!!

[clmintie]

We'll all be at Ardy, if it's on and Sunday will see Grace and I at Mr Motorcycles....

Sophie has scored a day with a pro photographer on a shoot as "little miss assistant" on Sunday. (for a school project............)

[Reckless]

Might choose that ride if your there mate. Have to see if she's still keen later on in the week!
I'll pm you my mobile number if you could txt me back so I'll have yours! See if we can hook up on the way and pit together if thats ok? Just not sure if I should take her to Thunder for a but of one on one or Mr Moto and throw her to the masses! LOL!!
A&R and his girls are very doubtful at this stage as he is busy with stuff.

[mattwood]

Cool, haven't seen you for ages, Kimmy's KB Xmas ride? be good to catch up again.....

What calss should I ride in? I dont think I'll be holding people up after a few laps on the track, but then again I dont want to be an obsticle lol, and I dont want to ride with kids because I'm always afraid of munting one of them..

[clmintie]

First session is all in so you'll soon figure how fast you are............ Then when he separates the groups you can choose............

[Boosted]

Ill be leaving albany with ma van but dont know if i'll have the room but im gonna try get time of work, thats my biggest hurdle at the mo.... hopefully be there with my couriers online van

[Ktmboy]

Well its kinda hard to say but...I'm gunna be a noob today:baby: as its the first time to Ardmore, mainly for Logans sake.

But I'll give it a couple of laps just to try out the dark side. Jumps?:(

Anyway, could some one post the race line number and also times/costs etc. (boosted/telleman/clmintie) Can't access their web for some reason.

[Boosted]

09 2680886 and im sure its $15 for non members but could be $20 lol

but good on ya dude, its a good track :)

[Ktmboy]

What time does it open?

[Boosted]

open from 4-8

[Pierce]

open from 4-8

I thought it switched over to 2-6pm now cos it's getting pretty dark by 7:30pm

[Sammikins]

Is it free if i only wanna come along and watch?

[Reckless]

Is it free if i only wanna come along and watch?

Yep free for watching!

[Pierce]

Is it free if i only wanna come along and watch?

and a few diff places to watch from which is cool.

[Sammikins]

Might just do that then. What's the address even?

[Reckless]

I'm Gonna try an make Ardmore today so you can come out with me if you want. Depends a bit on work so txt me about 3 okay?

Otherwise its Ardmore Quarry Road not far up it either. If you go past the far end of Ardmore Airport on Mullins Road at the end do a left go 200 metres down Papakura Clevedon Rd and you will see an MX sign on the lampost. Turn right in Ardmore Quarry and its only about 500 metres in on the right.

[krasher]

Ill be leaving albany with ma van but dont know if i'll have the room but im gonna try get time of work, thats my biggest hurdle at the mo.... hopefully be there with my couriers online van
What time you heading down? I have a trailer if you have a tow bar I could hitch on and join ya if you were keen.

Am keen to hitch a ride although I won't be home till between 4:30 or 5:00.... may not work with your schedule.

[Reckless]

Was a good track tonight, no dust, track didn't cut up to bad even by dark!
Not to overcrowded bloody good night actually.
Good to meet Raglanash and Mattwood. I think Pierce and his bro had a ggod time and looked like Telli was nailing it as well!

How'd you other guys enjoy it??

[Pierce]

Hell yeah the track was in mint condition. Wildman on Sunday should be a good one indeed. Now to decide for Ardmore or Slater park mx on sunday...

[Ktmboy]

Well... apparently I got slayed...does that make me a dragon?

Not a good night I'm afraid. I've sort of been avoiding this for some time, you know the day when the young buck gives you shit all the way home saying "dad I kicked your arse tonight"
Yeah what eva, I was just following you around to check your riding style LOL.

Its been a good few years since I've been on a MX track like that apart from Fells a few times so its back to the drawing board. Also having an enduro bike with S12's and a worn skinko on the front is not ideal.

Freakin SLAY me will yah, well next time I'm guna nick somebodies MX bike and show the little bugga whose boss.

Maybe I'll just say "when you can beat me in the bush then I'll concede"

But yes, it was a good arvo and we will have to travel more to these MX places for the X training required.(for me)

[Reckless]

Good to see you out our neck of the woods for a change! LOL!! We come to yours often enough. Not a bad little MX track for 10 bucks on a Wednesday is it. Glad you your boy liked it!! Cya out there more often although 2 till 6 from now on!

[mattwood]

was an awsum afternoon!! good to meet everyone too

sweet track once it dried out a bit, Keen as to go back some time soon!
