JAN 17th and 18th

Okay, our first 2009 ride is going to be on January 17th and 18th.

1. Chris and me (Ann is following us up and riding along with someone)
2. Mike and Carla
3. RJ and Celia
4. Angela and her husband
5. Geo and his wife
6. Ed
7. Greg
8. Robby + Dominic (nephew) <---welcome Dominic!
9. Girl from RC forum

10. JD and Mindy
(will be there with another group, but we hope to run into them!)

IT'S GOING TO BE COLD, AND ICY!!!

We're going to start off on greens in the morning on saturday...and depending on the weather, stay on them most of the day. Yes, we'll be doing the easier blues too, liKe CV Trail. Then we'll be heading to the Gooseberry Farms restaurant for dinner. It's up to everyone's vote whether we have a prayer/talk at the restaurant (we can get a secluded section) after we eat or all congregate to our room or the lobby sitting area at the Comfort Inn. (same exit)

IF IT STINKS THAT BAD ON SATURDAY, WE'LL CUT SUNDAY OFF AND JUST STAY AT THE HOTEL AND GO HOME FROM THERE AFTER BREAKFAST ON SUNDAY MORNING.

It'd be nice to get up early on sunday and take advantage of the breakfast bar and have a prayer before heading to RC on sunday morning. Then we'll see how everyone feels about doing some harder stuff IF the weather and trail conditions allow. Of course, there are black trails that turn off of the easier ones, so I know we could all stick together.

I look forawrd to seeing you guys. Be at the staging area and checked in and aired down...and ready to roll by 9am.

BE SAFE GETTING THERE!

That sounds like a great plan to me. I just hope to have the $$ and a job to stay at a hotel. If not the Dodge will be comfortable.....

I'll be scheduling my annual colonoscopy for some Monday in January. If it's the 18th there's no way I'll be able to wheel on the 17th while "cleaning out." The 16th may be a possibility.

Thanks for sharing that bit of info with us Ed.

I'm going to try and make it. Maybe with the blazer

Blazer??? You have a Blazer. I would have to see it to believe it.

I was going to remind you to keep this on topic....but then I couldn't do this:

How's this for seeing??? (This was taken on the day I met Mike and Chris!!!)

Sniff, I miss Paragon.

Here's another shot from Skyline Drive

Oh yeah, I thought that was a lawn ornament at Mikes House.

Alright now BACK ON TOPIC

No, it's a garage ornament . Carla and I plan on coming up for Saturday. Hauling the toy up as long as it doesn't snow. I hear people saying they're going but they haven't posted here. So lets see who is going???

Please set the record straight: Is the trail ride Friday and Saturday, January 16 and 17 . . . OR . . . Saturday and Sunday, January 17 and 18?

I'd like to try to make it on Saturday the 17th.

IT IS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY

Thanks Ed for the catch

Sorry...I have no idea why I have the 16th in my head.

ALL of the trail rides are saturday and sunday unless otherwise specified.

We have a good crew already for the 17th and 18th. I think 6 rigs already.

Well who are they? I only see 3 rigs here.

peanut will be there with a newby ( Pattey any harm in copying that paperwork and giving my nephew a set to join ?)

Not at all, sweetie...but I can send another packet out. I have a bunch of them already in envelopes....and it's a revised one from the one on the pages here.

It should get to you by next week. Okie dokie!?

Can't wait to see you!!!

Well, let's see....there's:

1. Chris (in his Jeep)
2. Me (in my truck unless icy) <---supposed to be wicked icy....I'll be in he Jeep!
3. Mike and Carla
4. RJ
5. Angela and her husband
6. Geo and his wife
7. Ed (for saturday)
8. JD and Mindy (will be there with another group)
9. Robby + Dominic (nephew) <---welcome Dominic!
10. Greg

Can add me to the not 100% list. Gonna start going over the Jeep and trailer this week.

GREAT!

Carla is planning on coming along too. However WHEN the Ravens beat Tennessee next week lets hope they don't schedule the next game on the 17th.

Yah!!!! That's great!

YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE DETAILS OF THE RUN ON THE NEWS PAGE HERE

The Bronco is fixed
But I can't come I have work that is my call weekend. Sorry
Hope you have a great time I will be thinking about youall have a blast

For this trip, it will be a last minute decision for me.

That is also the weekend of the New York Motorcycle Show at the Javitz Center in NYC. I have not been to the show in many years, and have recently gotten very active in riding again. It is a once a year opportunity to update myself on the state of that passtime, and I am interested in upgrading some of my gear.

On the other hand, both you guys and NORA are doing runs that weekend. A great chance to hang with two great clubs and a whloe lot of friends on the same weekend.

I think that ultimately it may boil down to trail conditions. I have done my share of wheeling on snow and ice. That is not my favorite wheeling conditions, and I really don't any more body damage on my daily driver. So, it is likely to be a last minute decision based on weather and trail conditions. Basically, if the trails are not clear, I will almost certainly skip this run in favor of the show.

Awesome about the fix, Tom....sorry you cannot make it, but you know we'll be out there every month!!!


I hear ya, Ken.....it'll be awesome to wheel with and see you again. But I understand the trail condition thing....I'm driving Pete up, but not wheeling it if it's icy. Chris is the crazy one in this family...I'll hop in with him. We hope it's nice out and you decide to come. Didn't realize NORA had a run!
