We have been getting some queries about when we are having our next ride, so I thought I would make a suggestion and see if anyone is interested. I am happy to host a weekend ride in Jarrahdale, with overnight camp here at my place, to make it easier for me!!! No extra organisation for camping somewhere.
Saturday would be a meet in Jarrahdale at the Jarrahdale Oval at about 12.30 pm and ride to Tony Gyles for a quick visit then over to the Railway line and down to the South West Highway Mundijong for a quick afternoon tea, and then back up the hill to the floats following the old railway line back again. This would be suitable for carts. Distance would be approx 20 – 25 km.
We would then float back to my place and camp with possibly a hot spa on offer at the end….. at least a hot shower anyway.
Next day we would pack up camp and float over to the Cnr of Rails Court and South West Highway in South Armadale, arriving there about 9.30 am – 10.00 am and then ride along the Wungong Valley and up to the top of the Byford Hills, for those wanting a shorter ride that day, they could ride to the Wungong Dam and back again. This unfortunately is not suitable for carts as CALM won’t give permission for them to ride in this area and it is all gated off. If there are carts who do want to come for the weekend I could arrange a separate ride in the Darling Downs area which is very suitable for carts and easy to follow on a map. Distance on Sunday will depend on how much people want to do.
Both of these rides can be shortened if the weather is very warm and ridden in the evening or early morning if necessary, as applicable.
It would be BYO everything, but there will be plenty of human and horse water, of course, at my place as well as all the modern conveniences.
So, please let me know if you are interested and if I get enough people to make it an event, which will only take a couple. I will give proper ride details later.
