Looks fun for him.
So who's in?
I'm a maybe. I'd like to bring one or both kids out to cruise around in your pasture. Time and weather will tell. One thing I don't like is my kids recently grew out of the riding boots I had for them so they don't have any proper feet/ankle gear now.

If you are interested in selling it, let me know what sizes. In fact, I'm interested in all kids gear you don't need anymore.

They have only grown out of the boots thus far. I gave them to someone else with a little one. sorry

Just thought I would give people a heads up. We got 2 inches of rain since monday night and 60% chance for tonight. I will make the final call friday night if we need to cancel or not, I would hate to have people driving a few hours and then having to stop every body after a first lap because it tears things up too much...

Anyway crossing my fingers for good drying weather in the next few days!

Just got out on a ride to see how the trails were, I think it is going to be perfect tomorrow! a little bit wet where it did not get much sun light under the trees, but the grassy part is almost perfect so that means that tomorrow conditions should be about perfect!

I ordered some sandwiches so and we'll have chips and cookies so no need to pack much for food. If somebody else wants to come that has not posted in this thread or contacted my by other means they should let me know ASAP so that we make sure we have for everybody!

See you tomorrow! This should be fun! :D

Monica and I are IN. We won't be in too big a hurry in the morning as it will be a bit on the chilly side. :wink:
Luc, if it's all right with you, I plan to bring the Polaris Ranger for the Ladies and Little Ones to cruise around in. As long as it isn't too muddy, it doesn't chew up the ground with it's unlocking rear differential. I can make tight turns on my front lawn without tearing it up.

B.T.W. Quinton, you are IN...bring the family! :D

Sounds good, the more the merrier! See you tomorrow. As far as starting time I failed to mention it. I agree with you. I was thinking if people start showing up around 10, 10:30 we can be on the trail for a good hour before lunch and then resume afterward.

I'll be here anyway of somebody comes early :lol: :D

I plan to stop by just to catch up with everyone. It's a home game day so traffic will be a little crazy around Manhattan.

Had a GREAT day at Luc's today. The trails were not quite perfect as they were a little slippery in the corners, but those conditions were good for practicing braking and power-sliding in and out. The weather WAS perfect...it was a "warm" 55 degrees with full sun and not much wind to speak of. I almost broke a sweat a couple of times. :shock:
A big thanks to Luc and Family for hosting such a fun day filled with riding, socializing and eating delicious Mr. Goodcents sandwiches!

Oh and my wife didn't want you all to think she was stuckup for not coming out. On one hand she wanted to, on the other hand she was glad we were out of her hair so she could have some peace and quite and have a day to herself. Win/win for everyone!

One lousy little spill on a botched log jump and you revoke my "superhuman" status??? Come on, Man! It was my tire pressure, I'm telling you it was my tire pressure. I usually run 15 psi front and 13 psi rear. After finding my rear tire flat this morning I aired both tires up to 18 psi. Then, when the rear went flat on the way over to Luc's I put 8 oz of Slime in the rear and aired it back up to 18 to see if it would hold...oh yeah, the 8 oz of Slime made my rear tire out of balance as well. I didn't think about that.

Where are my manners. I forgot to thank Luc and his family for setting this up and inviting us out. Thank you!
The trails were perfect!
I think its a day my kids will remember. That's the most my boy has ever ridden at one shot. My daughter slept in her MX shirt and is still wearing it. :)

Had a fine day! Many thanks to Luc, and Kira for their hospitality.
The doctor says no motorcycles for me until spring, but I'll be ready to give it a shot then! 8)
Good to see everyone!
