Gday Folks, recently signed up...

I'm in Mildura VIC so a  long way from the good riding (ie hills) you guys get every weekend, but I thought I'd become a member anyway as it looks like a good organisation.

I don' t know anyone up here to ride with yet, need to work on that as I ride alone mostly now (anyone here from NW Vic?), but I'm thinking I need to see some hills and creeks anyway.  So, new ute coming this week, I'd like to work on getting away a few times a year and experiencing some different terrain.  Desert riding is fun, but it gets a bit old...

Oh yeah, about me... middle aged guy, been riding since I was about 10, I can handle a bike ok but no expert (competent but slow I like to say - fitness could do with some work :( ), currently on a 2005 WR450.

Welcome along, Tim.

I'm pretty sure we've got some members up your way, hopefully you can meet up with them through here.

In the mean time,  get yourself onto a ride in them thar hills!

Welcome to the club Tim, I'm sure you will fit right in with your rider level so no worries there.
We have a few desert rides on each year. mort of us are prepared to travel to a good riding spot it just part of the sport.
Hope to meet you on a ride soon.
Cheers
Dave Smith

Thanks guys, I'll keep an ear out for any desert rides, but keen to see some hills (just little ones...). Bendigo's not that far from here, what areas should I be looking out for if I want to join in some rides around there?

Castlemaine/Chewton ride is just a bit further on from Bendigo. Daylesford ride days as well.
The older I get, the slower I was.
