Ferny/Ewen Maddock/Landsborough

WHAT:Fun social ride from Ferny Forest out through Ewen Maddock fire trails and back through the forestry roads for after ride snacks at Ferny Forest at The Leaky Teapot. There may be a challenging route for those chasing bigger kms, gnarly climbs and fast descents, and also a more sedate route for those who are wanting to take things easier.��WHEN: 7:15am for a 7:30am roll off.��WHO: This ride will cater for all levels, however a moderate level of riding ability and fitness is required to participate. The intermediate group will cover approximately 40kms with around 250m of elevation (will just depending which group you are riding with).��WHERE: Meet at Ferny Forest Carpark on Steve Irwin Way Please see the Google Maps link for more details.���THE FINE PRINT��A fully operational off road bike, helmet, gloves,hydration, snacks and a big fat smile are a must. Some pocket money is also important if you want to enjoy the social afterwards. Spare tube and tools are also advisable as you don't want to be relying on your fellow riders for theirs.��Remember, being a member of a Facebook mountain bike group doesn't mean you're a member of a club. For insurance purposes all riders must be members of CORCA or an affiliated AusCycling club. If you're not already a member, get a free trial AusCycling licence here and you will be covered for four weeks.�� https://www.auscycling.org.au/membership/other/free-trial��And lastly, keep an eye on the weather. In the event of rain, we'll either offer up a wet weather Plan B or cancel altogether because rain creates mud, mud wrecks componentry, repairs are expensive. That,and riding wet trails destroys lots of hard work put in by the volunteers.
