DYDR at Paragon August 7 & 8

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: RM_guy

There has been some interest in another ride at Paragon and the 7th and 8th seem to be good dates. Anyone interested? We hope to have the Canadians show up as well as some folks from the mid west.

TreeJumper will be there and is looking for a good spanking

I'll be there just one day but I haven't decided which one yet.


Posted by: rv6junkie

The 7th works for me. I think I'll camp on Friday night if anyone is interested.


Posted by: Treejumper

Not sure if i will ride both days or not til time gets closer. Most likely i will arrive saturday, camp, then ride sunday morning. An yes, i'm looking for a spanking but not the type Offroad Warrior and Eugene gave me last time! I think i'm still sore from that ride.

I will be there at least for teh 7th...not sure about Sunday yet


Posted by: jaschul

can someone post info about Paragon and other places to ride in PA. I am a new rider with 2 sons also new. Looking to ride in Southeastern PA. Any info on Eastern PA locations would be great.

OK what happened to this ride? Are we still on for August 7-8?
I am recovering from a broken foot once again...but this time it was a lot worse, and I was back on teh bike for the firsat time this past weekend, so I am looking forward to a good ride, since I will be taking it easy for another month or so, since my doctor would kill me if he knew I was back on teh bike already.

And just to let anybody know who is planning on going that Saturday,l the 7th, is the last day of the Jeep Jamboree at Paragon. The park will still be open to dirtbikes, but there will be lots of jeeps on the trails too.....but I'm sure they couldn't get to some of the trails we want any way.


Posted by: Dapper

Looks like I miss another one as I have no transportation. Damn I hate it when that happens


Posted by: scooter1130

what do you mean no transportation...you have the dirtbike don't you.....


Posted by: Dapper

No means to transport bike. Traded truck for SUV. Have not had the $ to get a trailer yet


Posted by: scooter1130

why do you need a way to transport the bike though...the bike has a motor and 2 wheels. I'm sure you can find some trails that take you from NY to Pa


Posted by: RM_guy

I haven't posted on this because I will be out of town on business that week and may not be back in time. I really want to come down but it's iffy at this point.

Sorry to do this to you guys, but the Crazy Czech (Slovak) is out. For the rest of the season.
About a month ago I wiped out during a dual sport ride (SJER). Wasn’t a high-speed face plant, nothing crazy—pretty ordinary encounter with gravity, actually—but the combination of the position of the bike, tree and me wasn’t very favorable. I sustained a pretty serious knee injury, lots of ligament, meniscus and some bone damage. That tends to happen when your knee bends the wrong way. Can you say “ k n e e b r a c e s ”? They have always been on the list of things to get, but now they quickly moved up to the top of that list. I wore a pretty decent set of brace-like knee guards, but apparently, it wasn’t enough.
Crutches are a pain in the ass to get used to. My hands are all blistered up, I’ve got to put some nice meaty dirtbike grips on them. I f....d up my summer pretty good (and the whole riding season). But I guess I’d be more upset if it happened walking down the stairs on the subway or something.

You guys have fun, and watch out for those moving trees and rocks!

Scooter, sorry to hear about your foot. Get well soon!

Man Eugene, that doesn't sound good I hope you have a full recovery.

At least now I don't have to feel guilty for not wanting to follow you down some god forsaken trail


Posted by: scooter1130

**Note to self~~~~Stop putting off buying those knee braces**

Sorry to hear about your knee Eugene. It doesn't sound like you'll be back on teh bike any time soon, But I'll be looking forward to seeing you for next springs ride....I didn't say I'd follow you, but I can laugh at the people who do

My foots healing up pretty good, its been almost 5 weeks, and there is just a little bit of swelling left, and I can't stay on my feet for any length of time, but theres no way that will keep me off the bike. It doesn't look like the turnb out will be too big for the 7-8, but I will be there at least for the 7th.

Those of you who took the safety course at teh last ride, remember to bring your card with you that shows you took it, and for anybody who wasn't at the last ride and plans on going in August, you might wanna get there about a half hour earlier if you plan on taking the course. Its not mandatory for everybody, but if you don't take it, you have to be riding with somebody who did.

Hey Eugene! That sucks but it sounds like it could of been worse. Heal up and we'll see you in the spring. I'm looking forward to another trip into the deep dark parts of Paragon again. I might of balled and whined like a little girl while doing it but am happy that i "did" do it unlike some people. On top of it all it made me a better rider for doing it. Now i see these sections locally that i thought were tough and i blaze right through them.

Dan, glad to hear the foots feeling better. My mom thinks she just broke hers. Guess they'll findout when she gets it xrayed.

you know its interesting but when I go back a few posts in this same thread, I see this...

Don't worry Chucke, I will make sure I map out a good ride for Eugene to take you on in the spring


Posted by: Treejumper

Hey, remember i'm getting old so i forget things easily. Even if it was only a month and a half ago.


Posted by: gixer

You guys have to ride with Eugene more than once a year. Thats all we ride when there. People wonder why I walk funny for a few days after ridding. They think we just go ridding around in the dirt. HA HA HA. I wish I could make this ride but after moving down to VA the drive starts to get a little long. Hope to run into some of you soon though.
Steven

Thanks for the invite Dan, I'll look for you up there on Aug. 8.
I should have my rocket rebuilt by then.
My $8 seal replacement resulted in a broken clutch basket :-(

Mental note; Buy the right tools next time.


Posted by: scooter1130

No invites are needed, everybody is welcome to join us. Not sure if I will be tehre for the 8th, but I will definitely be there the 7th. Just not sure if my foot can handle 2 days of riding yet, its still a little sore.
Now I should probably know this and will probably feel stupiud for asking, but the name "rivers461" doesn't sound familliar to me


Posted by: RM_guy

Damn, I really hope I can make it on Saturday but it isn't lookin' good. You guys have fun


Posted by: scooter1130

Well it looks like we only have 2 or 3 people for this ride, so maybe plans should start for a ride in a month or so when we can hopefully get a few more people out :-)


Posted by: RM_guy

It looks like I can now make it Saturday. Are we still on? I'm not 100% on but pretty close to it.


Posted by: NRB

I will probably go up this weekend since it's starting to get toward the end of the riding season. Plus I want to see if that bear is still hanging out around the parking area.


Posted by: Dapper

End of the riding season?? That's crazy talk.


Posted by: scooter1130

As I said..I will be there Saturday, but not sure about Sunday. Hopefully we will get more people who can make it at the last minute. See you guys Saturday


Posted by: LoriKTM

We may be last minute... depends on if our original plans fall through...


Posted by: RM_guy

Well Nate and I had a great ride. The weather was perfect and the trails were awsome. We hooked up with a father and son (Jeff and Spencer) that had never been there before and showed them some good beginner trails. Spencer (on a XR80) was pretty amazing. He just kept going and going.

Where the heck was Scooter?!?!?! We figured he was going to be there for sure but everytime we came back to the trucks he was nowhere to be found. Hmmmm...is your foot OK Dan???


Posted by: scooter1130

sorry guys, the foot is still bothering me a little, but I also had some unexpected company for the weekend up from virginia. Myc cousins were staying at my parents house, but nobody thought to tell me until Saturday morning. They thought I knew. Since they were only here Saturday and Sunday, and I only see them once every couple years, I couldn't make it to the ride. But I will be at the next one.
