Joni and I are in, boys have ball practice that cannot be missed so they are out. We may ride the bike out. There look to be a lot of little riders coming, are there enough bikes? I still have the 50 my boys learned on and could bring it along?

Luc! Considering the number of little riders expected, that figure 8 probably needs to become a loop.

new riders + immaturity + figure 8 = PAIN

Actually I was not planning on using the 8 except if a kid or 2 needed something smooth to get in the groove... You are right this is a disaster waiting to happen if you have more than 1,2 kids on it

I'll bring a comfy chair for me and sit in the intersection with a flag to keep them from bashing into each other!! :lol:

My son and I will be unable to make it this weekend. Kai has a lacrosse game and my wife scheduled us out of town. Wish we could make it, I'll check back on the forum to see if there are any future kids' rides planned. Hope everyone has a blast!
Thanks,
Sam

Rode some tonight, man it is slippery, I ended up in a cedar tree as I could not stop in time :shock:

That was fun, looking forward to this week end!

Here is a teaser picture from last year

Realized that we did not publicly post this tidbit -- FUN FOR THE TINY TOTS and older kids alike! We are renting a bouncy house for the day! With the 14 MPH wind or so, we'll have it staked down well!

THANKS again to Luc for hosting this and the hard work to make it happen!

Well, we got over an inch of rain yesterday... It looks like it is planning on drying good today and tomorrow so that should be a lot of fun.

I will have as many foldable chairs out as we own, but I know that it is not enough so if you guys have a few and are not riding a motorcycle, bring them over.

If I miss you and did not PM you an address and or instruction on how to get here, just PM me.
