Gravel bash ride Sunday May 9!

**The Pastor** · 21st April 2010, 15:09

There is going to be an epic gravel ride on Sunday the 9th of may. Leaving at 12pm at shell westgate on sunday the 9th may.

This is mothers day, is that going to effect anyone? If people can't make it the rain date is the 15th may.

Don't be a pussy (like Indy, the big Jessie), the rides going to be pretty slow and relaxed. If you've never done gravel there will be a few of us there who can give you some pointers (ones better than when in doubt power out!)

Who's keen?

westgate 12pm lunchtime
9 may
ride is on rain or shine!

Is this like a Gravel 101 type of thing? Or are we talking like... Gravel (Hons) 741...?

Would love to go, but I doubt the VFR would appreciate it... She's still recovering from her trackday thrashing...

Bring it on!

You need to leave the night before and campout at the meeting point

I always get cunfused by this. 12pm , is that midnight or midday ?

And can you clarify on 'epic'. Does that mean 'Smc epic' which usually involves half the ridersgetting lost, half the riders breaking down and half the riders getting tangled up in situations too embarrasing to relate ( oyster farms, anyone?). Yes I realize that is three halves smc arithmetic is like smc time.
