RODMAN RIDE IV          
                
Total count                                126 bikes

never in my wildest dreams would i have thought this many riders would be down.
if we loose 20% we still have 100 quads!
we've created a monster.

Hey Grizz or someone else that has them!!

I have the gps cords for Eurekia and Rodman

Could you post a couple others ,like the layout as a square or a triangle or some to keep track as we go?? (ie 88 store and the farthest east of the track).
Your map is great just trying not to get lost   Thanks Jerry

would it help if grizz printed up some topo maps showing the trails and proposed route to hand out at rodman?

HOLY COW!!! Did I count right? 22 cabins reserved!!!!    That place needs to give us more than  $5.00 off!!!!1  Man this will be  GREAT

now thats funny.  

                       100 riders X 6' per quad  =   600'
average 20' spacing between quads X 100 = 2,000'
                total group ride streched out = 2,600'

thats just under 1/2 mile

Either myself or Jeff is gonna call Mike at the 88 store and see about  him bringing in some BBQ or something.

It will cost less than $20/shirt.  However, the best way to get a good price would be to order in bulk.  This would be close to $2k.  I would hate for anyone to pay that much and then not get screwed if you don't sell them all.  Also, you have to but in groups of 6.  ^ shirts will cost a little over $135 total.
If someone wants to take their chances they could charge $20-$25/shirt and make a little profit for their investment.

My two cents on the shirt design if this happens would be, cut the names and use the tire on the back like Chris had pasted.  All the names will be changing and it just looks to cluttered.  Maybe the front of the last shirt design with Chris's back design, if that makes sense.

 shirts can be made for well under $10 per shirt,  I've seen simple ones go for $3 each, if you buy 100 shirts.

With this many people, we need communication. I just ordered 2 hands free units from www.motocomm.com I'll let you all know how they work out. They are compatable with my new 4 watt 12 mile range midland radios. Speakers and microphone fit inside your helmet (open or full face) and a weather proof PTT switch mounts to your handlebars you just push it to talk. Cost on the set up with out radio is $59.99 ea.

At the last ride we had several mishaps with people getting separated. This may help.

whoever calls the 88 store ask em to get anouther pizza over

I'm thinking of taking off from my place and riding to Rodman Dam in the morning then joining up for the ride and riding with the group to the 88 store,,,,then home from there.

[Ida_Mann]

I'd have to leave about 5am I think to be able to make it there at a reasonable time,,,,hmmmm, things to think about.
