    Default Memorial Weekend Riding.

    I have had many of you ask, what is the plan for Memorial Weekend? Well after talking to the Earthriders down in KC it doesn’t look like that trip will be realistic. Camping isn’t close and wherever I called they were already booked. So what I have personal decided to do is ride local (local meaning within 2 to 3 hours). I’m not going to set an itinerary or even try to guess where I will be able to ride. I will keep an eye on the weather, listen to people’s suggestions and ride where I can. Oh and of course hit the closest brewpubs wherever I may be. So please join me on any day you can, if I have to hook up the trailer to get every one in that wants to go no problem.
    You'd understand if you know what I was talking about.

    There is the plan.

    OK, to ease your inquiring minds, we are going...

    ...somewhere in the Midwest.

    A number of the places we are considering remain closed because of all the rain. We continue to monitor the status of the trail conditions and will reveal the game plan later this week (Thursday nightish). Regardless of where we go, you KNOW we will have a great time! Mountain biking with fellow FORCers, and cold beer. What more do we need? Well, that we can talk about on a public forum!


    We have talked about making one of the days a local trifecta (provided Scott County gives the approval to open the trails) and cookout at one of the parks. Any interest in that Sunday or Monday? Just something to ponder...
    I wanna ride!

    If the weekend HAS to come to an end, that sounds like the right way to do it.

    I will be missing out on most of the festivities this weekend due to my brother-in-law's wedding that I'm not even IN.

    However, coming back to a trifecta, if nothing else would be very cool...although I will keep hoping that all circumstances align for Blue Mound on Monday

    Regardless, everyone is going to have a great time....remember to take a bunch of pictures, ride a ton (sober & buzzed), and drink a bunch of beer and it will be a memorable trip wherever you go!
