Ride Description

VENUE: 

Meeting at Kate and Ian Knox’s property at 1496 Buninyong-Mt Mercer Rd Grenville. There is ample room for float parking behind the barn, and room to turn around in the paddock. Riding will be at a leisurely pace through bush tracks similar to those at John Brady’s, (for those who know.) 

RIDE: 

This is an easy leisurely “Nervous Nellies Ride” on undulating bush tracks in the Enfield Forest, suitable for barefoot riding. It is proposed to ride a loop for approximately 2 hours, return to the floats for lunch & socializing, then, for those who wish, ride a second shorter loop.

                            Please arrive about 9.00 am to register and saddle up for a 10 am (sharp) ride out. 

Ride Out Time @ 10.00am sharp.

LUNCH:

 Lunch will be held back at the floats between legs.
