August 22/23 Weekend

If I have the dates right, the last round of the RC Rocks competition is August 22. I am thinking very favorably about heading there on Saturday to watch the competition, and do some wheeling on Sunday. Before I ask around my other clubs, is there any interest here in going wheeling on the 23rd?

We will be making this our august run!!!

Chris and I are judging the comp on saturday and we can wheel on sunday.

COME SEE THE COMPETITION AND HAVE A GREAT DAY AT THE PARK!

One thing....we do not want to lead. We lead every single ride and would LOVE a break.

No problem. I can lead (led a green group and a blue group last weekend). That way I get to control the pace and to select the trails.

Drunk with power already?!?! HAHAHAHA!!! That'll be awesome, Kenn. Camping too? We will try to save some spots. I may get up there early on friday afternoon.

Due to having every weekend taken except this one for a club run, this is the best time to get out as a club. The following weekend is the proposed trail cutting with BigRubbers4x4.

So...who else wants to come see the comp, some band action, some fireworks, good food, and friends on saturday and then wheel a bit on sunday??? We'll be doing primarily green and blue trails....unless we have enough black trail people and then we'll split up again.





They could always use more help at Rausch for the competition....so PM us if you want to help out.

Really looking forward to the Comp! Should be a good night too with a band and fireworks.

Thanks for leading Ken. I will follow anywhere or tailgun if needed.

ill prolly just be doing the bigrubbers thing in august. thats all i can afford to go. sorry

That's okay, doll.....wanna drive out to Big Rubbers together? "it's a convoy...."

We're playing it by ear at the moment...as Chris may be working sundays by then.....but we'll see.

mike and i might be going up not sure ( maybe tom too ) about all the details yet but sound good so far

Moi, drunk? Not at a A/O event -- alcohol is a no-no there. (But the A/O event does not officially start until Sunday, so I can have beer Saturday night?).

Camping -- of course. I think I can find your tent, so I will pitch near by.

Also, TJ (from many boards, and RC Rocks judge) may be coming. Although he is cleared by the Dr. to drive, he may not be clear to scramble on the course to judge. It may be a last miniute thing with him.

TJ's also a member of THIS club! hehehe. Yah, I hope he can make it.

Jeff will be there for this one. I am pretty torn between a saturday night trip up or a sunday morning trip. Jeff will be up for running greens and blues. Depending on how the day is going he might be down for some blacks if the group does not run through them. We will see.

This is an update. I will be up early early sunday morning. I am working on Saturday until pretty late. So Sunday for me with now. Yippie.

looking on comming up saturday and wheeling sanday. ill be prolly bring a passenger to go his first time up. trying to convice him to build his jeep. hopefully this throws him over the edge. i would like to do some blacks and if anyone wants to do something like 8 and somestuff over near tombstone and maybe all three of snake bite.
the thing making the trails with big rubbers well the wife and i are going some where for the couple days before the trip for our anniversary. so not enough time to do everything plus leaving the wife right after being together prolly would be a good thing for when i come home.

I am now unsure for this one. Sundays are going to be a work day for me now that I have a Job. I am going to try to get off but... probably not. I will still be there to judge RCROCKS on Sat though.

I will be there for this still. I am looking to run blues and greens. I can be talked in to running blacks. Just going to take my time. This is the first run with tires and lift on my jeep. 13 Is a purple, I would like to run that if we can get around to it.

Chris and I will be there on saturday to judge, but will probably skip sunday.

He will most likely be working sundays, so we will re-do trail runs. Most will be saturday only...with easy in am, hard in pm. Once I get a rig again, I can do the sundays while he's working....but until then, the official club day will be saturdays.

We'll see what he can do for the September weekend in Virginia. It may be a pain for a while, but we are happy Chris will be working again. Please keep him in your prayers.

PS.
There are other ideas too....like if we find someone (or two) to consistently show up that wants to be trail guide on sundays, we can keep both days. I could even stay and ride along, returning home myself sunday evening. (sorry cutie!)

Usually sundays are VERY short in people anyway, so I do not see much of a change with Chris' hours coming into play. We usually end up going from 11 rigs on saturday to 3 on sunday.

Chris and I will have to work on this issue.. Work should never interfer with wheeling..We will fast track him so he can get his own store and then work is scheduled around wheeling trips.........

Hi Matt!!! Job is #1! It pays for the wheeling! hahahaha I'm just glad everything fell into place. THANK YOU. Hope to see you guys soon!!!

Have fun wheeling tomorrow!!! Did Chris find a trailer?

Yes we found one. I had to take a trip to get it but we got one and now he can join us..

We will work out the weekend thing. I just texted him about it..

Its a job and home/work life is important. We just need to handle it correctly..

Wish you guys were joining us...

See ya soon.

I am slightly confused... Is anyone going to be up there wheeling on the 23rd?

Sorry for your confusion

Chris got a job this week.....it includes working sundays. Until we know the schedule for sure, we have to back out of this one, as it is likely he will be working for it.

Everyone ELSE that was going to be there will still be there sunday. It's not going to be 'cancelled' cuz we're not there. I just cannot guarantee what trails will be done that day. Kenn is still wheeling and he's a great guide...as long as he doesn't break anything! hahahaha You guys will have fun.

Sweetness. I am still looking forward to this trip.

Good. Unless people start backing out (there's always one or two that do) it should be fun! Chris and I never usually do, but right now, working for the first time since november is priority! hehehe

What do you think of the September trip?....in Virginia....you are far enough south that it wouldn't be the worst ride.
It's going to be a fun one!
