I'll mark the dates on my calendar, they work really well for me. Our June races are June 2 / June 30. I'll gladly ride whichever trail systems you guys wish, the ones we normally do are great OR hitting Indian Ridge or one of the new ones would be just fine.
So for the record, this is the
5th year we're doing this . . .
2008 - Mid July, did Rockhouse and stayed in Gilbert. It was HOT!! Highlight was a monsoon on the last evening that Rick and Tom got stuck in.
2009 - Late April, did Bearwallow and stayed at a campground. It rained the entire time but we managed to still have a great time. Highlight was Vince and KDXButterfly being there.
2010 - Early May, rode both Rockhouse and Bearwallow and stayed in Man. We dealt with a little rain but got quite a bit of riding in. Highlight was navigating a long, steep, slick hill as the daylight hours were waning and being rescued by quads!!
2011 - Again May, rode both Rockhouse and Bearwallow and stayed in Gilbert. Had to deal with some rain but made the best of it and got a bunch of riding in. Highlights included Tom riding a quad this go around and getting stuck in downpours.
2012 - ???
Did I miss other highlights?
I'd like to bring my oldest son. He'll be just a few weeks away from 15yr old but we could stay at my parents house so you old men can cut loose as you please. My parents live a short drive away from most of the trail systems so that would work out in that respect as well. We'd just meet you in the mornings (maybe even wake you up and get things going!) and probably have dinner with you in the evenings after the rides.
You guys OK with that?
He won't have any problem running with us, he rides/races a KTM200. In fact one downside is he very well may take a shot at things others might not and when he makes it it'll be "Oh no, a 14yr old just did it, now I HAVE to do it".
