Hey Kristen,
Seeing how you rode that Raptor really well at Rodman I think you will fit in just fine but it would be nice to see some ladies on sport quads come out and challenge us guy's on the trails ;)

You can't talk smack b/c you have a stock bike? What are you riding on? On this type of ride, size of the motor really doesn't matter. This is basically a matter of the size of your balls. How crazy are you to try and stay up w/ us loonies.

we had 6 at the last ride and it looks like we will have atleast 10 to 15 taking into consideration a few always drop out do to unexpected things.
and as far as all the smack talk is concerned, we are just kidding around so dont take offense

Hey, remember... I'm also bringin' 2 and possible 3 guys w/ me. Man I hope that it rains thursday or friday so that the vision won't be bad.
Took my bike out and rode it (Hard) for the first time since I made the adjustments to my bike (Elkas, Valve adjustments, and another GYT-R pipe) Gonna have to play w/ the shock adjustments b/c It seems almost like a different bike. Definitely running stronger and smoother

Barring anything major between now and then I'll be there. Just a word to the wise for those who have not been on a ride like this before......if we get started and you can't keep up don't be afraid to head back and ride with the slower group it will be a lot more fun than us hauling you and your quad back in pieces! It will be pretty much WFO the whole time just Lean back and Pin it! Just don't want to see anyone get hurt for riding beyond their abilities. Now Let's Get It On! Right now I am just hoping for my Rev Box to get back from Dyna in time cause I am sure missing that extra 1k RPM's

Good advise Hollywood. But at the same time remember that you can always go at your own fast pace. You don't have to be right up there w/ the Loonie crew. More than sure w/ this big of a ride that there will be different paced groups and remember that we stop at all Forks, intersections, etc... to wait on the rest so that we don't get seperated. Kinda why I like an experienced leader at the front that remembers the rest of the crew behind him/her.

Stopping at all forks is a great idea. We do it on all group rides. It's not so much the leader, it's more a matter of each person remembering that there is a person behind them. Everyone needs to keep glancing back if the person behind you is gone then stop. everyone will realize very soon. If anyone gets seperated from the pack then just stop and the pack will come back for you. Just remember to never leave the trail you were on.

im not trying to scare anyone away but it will be EXXXXXXXXXTREMELY dusty ! if you feel uneasy after the firts little trial burst we do ,then when we stop to check on everyone dont feel obligated to keep going because it will only get worse! unless everyone is less than 4 feet from the guy in front of him vision will be limited!

Rob is right we deffinately don't all have to run WFO the whole time I am sure there will be a time when I get tired and fall to the back of the pack to rest. It is always a good idea to stop at any intersections to allow the group to catch up. It is the only way not to lose people when on a group ride.
Good call Dreth we might wait till we get there and see how the dust is if it's real bad we may want to take the longer trails in groups of say 4 at a time. One group goes as soon as the dust clears the next can follow.

May not be that dusty at all. Forecast for this week...(40% chance of rain tomorrow/ 50% chance on thursday) That'll keep the dust down tremendously. Seems like we may get what we hoped for.
As far as glancing back and checking on the guy behind you. We won't get very far like that on this type of ride. There's no way all 15 guys (Or more) are going to stay in contact w/ each other through the trails. We'd have to stop every few hundred yards are so.
If it is dusty, I think Hollywoods idea is great. We run the Loonie group 1st and when the dust settles we run a few more. But we may have 6/7 guys (if not more) that want to run in the Loonie group??
