[Rich Rohrich]

Be there in the morning for sure!!!!!!!

... that's what I'm shooting for too. The storms really screwed up our work schedule. :bang:

 

[wardy]

we have a pretty good crew there already. damn near 15? got the track dried out and in good shape and finally got the whoops fixed so they are good. track was kicking dust by 5 likely have to water tommorow!!!! :)

 

[Offroadr]

Loaded up and ready, trailer is hooked to the RV, should be there around 10am.

Weather NOT looking good for Friday :(

Wardy save me a big spot on the gravel since I wont be able to park on the grass along the fence like the past.

I need about 55 ft ;)

 

[wardy]

park to the "east" of the office. you will have to back in and don't run over the fire LOL.
or you will have room in the parking lot. it just won't be "close" to the others....

ya weather sucks! but if it does rain alot friday, and is nice saturday I will be able to dry the place out and do what i did today.

FRIDAY
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY IN THE MORNING
THEN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON. SOME THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL IN THE AFTERNOON. HIGHS AROUND 70. EAST WINDS 10 TO 15 MPH. CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION 80 PERCENT.

Hope you all have fun

West bound and hammer down, by 12pm. Its raining pretty good there now, free watering, perfect!

 

[HOGIE]

too bad its so wet out, but I bet it shapes up really nice for tomorrow & Sunday!

 

[motometal]

holy crapcakes did it rain a lot Friday! I can't remember the last time it rained that steady for that long. We had some fun anyway, and it was great to see everyone again. What an awesome group of people!

Considering the 1/2 tank that I rode, I have a lot of cleanup work to do.

Since we had leftover food, Jake Steve and I had a cookout when we got home after unloading.

And sorry we missed "goodbyes" to the people still there asleep, we were sort of on a mission to get home.

Did it end up drying out enough to ride Saturday?

 

[biglou]

we rode. i unloaded and we all rode for a couple hours. then power-washed! rolled out around 3:30-ish, just got home. great seeing everyone again. nice to meet you foxforks. you guys were out riding when i left, i believe. and he put it to us on his 80-something PE. but yeah, it was crazy wet and slippery. i hit the ground more this go-round than i have in a long time. more later. sore. tired. sleep.

 

[Wolf]

Sorry to have missed it...

 

[ChopperDave]

Good times, even with the bad weather. Rain is a given when we invade FVOR! It was great to meet folks too! Like OldGuy, Offroadr, Chili, Fox Forks(man was he good on that old PE or what?).

[ChopperDave]

Chili and OldGuy Should have pics forthcoming.

Yeah, and I would have been happy to take his word for it. . . :whoa:

 

[motometal]

Chopper, Chopper. You just had to go there...

 

[oldguy]

Dam I had fun even tried riding again after 4 years off the bike. Maybe by the next time I'll feel a bit more comfortable (and my wife won't start my day off telling me "Don't get hurt before I see you ride at least once" :think: )
I got a few pictures posted in the moto forum but I forgot I had been shooting some waterfalls the day before in the rain and had reset the exposures. I didn't have my glasses along riding so until Chili looked at my camera I didn't know about the exposure :bang:

Scott you guys disappeared pretty fast Saturday morning I took the puppy out for a walk and your RM was leaning on the fence and 30 minutes later you guys were gone :whoa:

 

[Offroadr]

Just winding down from unpacking from the weekend. We had a great time, I am pretty sore! Great seeing everyone, Motometal you and the gang were gone before I got out to say goodbye, you actually missed some good riding!

Thanks to Lou and Chili for letting me ride the new scooters! Man that green bike was fun!

 

[whenfoxforks-ruled]

Sure wish I could have made it Thursday. Them ruts were tough! And sure enough, an hour after we left, the wind died down. Sure hope we try it again in the fall!

 

[wardy]

you guys will make me put a roof over that place LOL. rain seems to follow these rides!!!

but mud riding is riding to! glad you had a good time, you are welcome anytime!

 

[Rich Rohrich]

Your efforts are very much appreciated Wardy, even by those of us that didn't get to go this time. :cool:
