Memorial Weekend Riding.

AG · 04-30-2009, 10:03 PM

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.

What are trail conditions like in Central Iowa?

I know the St. Louis People talk about great trails. Though that is probably a 4 hour drive. Have they had tons of rain also?

it's "patience" not "patients". Wait- Gunch and Dru-b are going- you were right the 1st time...

In that case, oh great sage and imminent Zen master- please enlighten me as to where we're meeting, and at what time. I shall arive with the necessaary gear for a full day of festivities!

"Where we going? Are we there yet? What's the plan, huh? What? What? sheesh... Dooods, Frankie says relax. It's always as good as you hope it will be, just do your maintenance on Friday and don't forget any of your gear.

There is the plan.

I will have my stuff ready for 3 days of riding wherever AG's van stops. :burnout:

**Bexter** · 05-19-2009, 03:56 PM

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...

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

**jimithng23** · 05-19-2009, 05:21 PM

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!

**konabiker** · 05-19-2009, 05:57 PM

is the plan to do three day trips? sat, sun, mon?
or is the plan to camp and ride for three days?

**Bexter** · 05-19-2009, 06:28 PM

Three day-trips. We figure we will get our fill the following weekend camping at the Summit.

AG · 05-19-2009, 07:51 PM

Boy oh boy am I working on a treat for you knobby heads...

AG · 05-21-2009, 07:35 PM

Ok it's like this. Right now I'm chasing weather forecast to the north and south of us. I was hoping to post up where, what and when by now but the weather gods are messing with me right now. So for right now anyone wanting to go Saturday plan on this. We will leave own around 8:30, plan on being gone ALL day. In the mean time I'll keep a close eye on the weather and post our destination as soon as I can.

Right now I have John, Steve, Andy and maybe Chris in my van. Did I miss anyone?

***ew_perry*** · 05-21-2009, 10:52 PM

I am gonna need a spot somewhere.
