Trailfest 2010

[fatherandson]

I am completing the paperwork with the DNR to have this event on October 23rd. This date has been confirmed with Tator Man and does not conflict with the HS or enduro schedules.

We will start riding from the LMC clubgrounds at 10:00 on Saturday and will plan to have lunch in Moorestown. The trail will consist of public and private trail. The day will end back at LMC for the Trailfeast.

Please pass the word. No other advertising is planned.

Mike,
Hopefully we'll be able to ride the first section of the Jackpine. I'll wait at the exit. :laugh:

 

[salgeek]

The first sign of fall.

 

[ws6transam]

Yay! October 23rd.
I got rid of my glasses so that I'll be able to see the trees this time out. Perhaps I'll be able to actually finish this time around.

Looking forward to the event this year and every year.

Mike, I am sure the ladies group will hold you up again while you are sweeping. We had fun last year on the trail.

 

[HeidiB]

I'm looking forward to it too!

Same trail?

 

[fatherandson]

A lot of the same trail, but we are working on some variations from last year. If you enjoyed the trail last year, you will have fun this year.
We may ask the younger, less experienced riders to stay on the clubgrounds. A couple of kids on mini bikes really struggled with the sand following 100 bikes.
The ladies did not have any trouble last year. Their conversations only embarrassed me a couple of time. Good times!

The Tent maybe up. But no plan has been made yet.

The ride is between 40-50 miles of single track and some two tracks. We will have a truck haul gas cans to the lunch stop. There will be some sections that will be difficult for younger and newer riders, but we will provide short cuts to avoid them.

The clubgrounds for the Lansing Motorcycle Club is located in Moorestown, MI. I am sure someone has the GPS coordinates. I put my vehicle on auto pilot and I get there is two hours.

It will be October and may be cold. If you are looking for overnight arrangements, Rustic Rafter Cabins is located with five miles from the clubgrounds and we hope to ride some trails once we check with the owner.

TF is the same weekend as my kid's high school homecoming, so I'll likely be solo.

dave

 

[fatherandson]

$20 - includes lunch, dinner and helps to cover the costs of permits and insurance.

Sure hope the temps drop a little by October, too hot to ride.

 

[Wolverine423]

Hey you old fart, you do play golf in this hot weather right?..

 

[KTM Mike]

I'm hoping to make it. I have not been on an (offroad) bike since May - but hope to be able to start riding again next week. (Doc says I can and I get my knee brace next week!).

 

[TCTrailrider]

Mike,
You'll fit right in with the Old Guys, scarred knees and braces group. :nod:

 

[Wolverine423]

Hopefully I'll have my new 530 six days by then!
