24/1/09 Held under the new MSA Guidelines of "Come n Try", we held a day for a few Ulysses members visiting the South East on the long weekend. It was very well received with plenty of smiles all round during the afternoons riding. We ran 2 groups which were "Tour Led" by Traveling Marshals Paul, Rick and Aaron, we started with a max speed of about 90Kmh working through the sessions up to about 140kmh later in the afternoon. This idea worked pretty good with riders picking up good lines and habits from the Marshals very quickly. Worthy of mention was our most mature lady rider "Chris" at 65yrs, a very tidy rider on a pretty good pace, very much enjoyed the experience of being able to ride McNamara Park without the usual cautions needed to ride on the open road. Hopefully we'll pop some pics up here soon. Many thanks to our helpers, Phill Mc and MSA as we didn't really give a lot of notice for the paperwork etc, but I think all were keen to see how this new format worked out.

Dry Track with a few riders getting amongst their best lap times, what more could ya wish for at the May Ride Day. Only about 35 Riders took part which meant endless Track Time so all who took part had a ball.

We had capacity fields in a few groups resulting in some great racing amongst the classes. Perfect weather always helps, and I do know of a few riders that hope a few of their peers from years gone by aren't 45 soon as the competition is getting pretty hot. I guess that same element of competition has resulted in a few injuries and we all wish any who have succumbed to the forces of gravity, return next year for a better run at our unique form of racing. A top show all round, and looking forward to it next year. . . . . results_seniors_08 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Come 'n Try Days . . . Various Motorcycling Australia Clubs can only hold 4 of these per year. Riders must Never have held Any level of MA licence including Rec and Day Licenses, ie purely gives first timers a bit of a go at most disciplines. Riders need to show a "Civil licence" to show they have had some training / experience etc on motorcycles. The maximum any Club can charge for these Days is 30.00 all inclusive per rider. The emphasis on these days is "Croozing", they are low pace "Come 'n Try Days".
Motard Riders . . . unfortunately slip back into the minority section, but more than welcome to join in at MacPark on Ride Days and Race meets. I can't help but feel the Club is missing out on something good here. There is however another Club Keen on Motards, click here for that gossip.
Ride Days . . . Full 2.4km Track, held on the last Saturday of most months. These Days come under Ride Day Info Sessions are usually split into 2 or more Groups depending on numbers etc.
Race Days . . . Lots of compliance needed, best really to chat to your local Motorcycling Australia Club so you can be advised of your particular interest. By attending any of the above days, riders will find answers to most questions from officials running these days. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
