Jay,
Would you mind having a sub group of only those that have ridden there be called "Turkey Bay Assault Club?" If you read my post earlier today in the TB thread I think I touched something off. I am going tomorrow to check on getting some patches(Like Navy and AF squadron patches) and stickers going. Is this going to be a problem with the chapter? or can we add it as a subforum of the KYiana chapter?

Thanks,
Phillip

Never too late, limitless!

I know I won't be going on any jaunts soon. I plan on riding arenacross a couple of times in Jan.
I have been checking with the new local track folk about renting their track for a couple days this summer. I plan on fixing up a lil DRN get-together. The place has real restrooms, showers and all. They plan on adding RV hookups this year as well.
As far as woods rides, I think CAL and his bunch ride western Ky as long as the weather isn't too bad. I'm certain we will have some nice rides this spring in IN. I'd like to do Lawrence Co. again when it's nice weather. I'd also like to take in Exit 49 on I-75 in KY.

I bet motormichael and Lee are riding somewhere soon.

Jay.

The rumor mill has been flying high about Livingston(Exit 49) around here latley. When Moose and I hit it back in August there was alot of logging going on and talk was that the land had been bought and the area closed. However, at my last trip by there it was still open, and no closings in sight. Let me know when your interested in riding there and I can do the 30 mile jaunt down there and check it out for you. I'd hate for you to drive all the way down only to see it closed.

Hey, I haven't logged on here in about forever, but I might be up for riding with a couple of weeks notice. I haven't kick started the CR in a looong time.

Is there anybody interested?
