Annual Damn Yankee Dirt Rider Ride (All welcome)

[RM_guy]

Paragon has worked well for past rides but if anyone has a different place in mind, let’s discuss it. Trails and an MX track and a place to camp are really the only requirements we have.

Let’s pick a date and get this thing rolling. Last year we got together in early May and a lot of you were able to make it. Is May a good time?

So keep all your weekends clear for May until we pick a date that works the best for us.

I’m already getting excited :):) (It doesn’t take much when it comes to dirt bikes;))

If 2003 is anything like 2002 for getting together and riding, we’ll have a blast! :)

 

[Hucker]

If I show up with that yellow bike, can someone please shoot me on sight? Ha ha, I'm in rain, hell or high water!!

Last year rocked, I hope Dapper brings those syrup injected sausages again. Only in the US I tell ya....

 

[scooter1130]

I will be there, who knows, I may even be able to get a Saturday away from work and spend the weekend. :flame: There are also a few of us getting together for a Paragon ride on Nov 17. If anyone is interested heres the info

What other viable options are there?

What's wrong with having more than one jamboree?

We could have more than one gathering at different places with different opportunities.

I'm planning to organize another day of trailriding before the '03 Unadilla race.

Whoa there big boy, of course we'll have more than one. This is just the first :thumb:

 

[Trigger1911]

I am in anytime!!
is anyone up for joinung me for the Alligator Enduro in march for Daytona Bike Week?

... is anyone up for joinung me for the Alligator Enduro in march for Daytona Bike Week?

I would if I could. You'll need to pre-register for this event. The Daytona Dirt Riders have a maximum number of riders and the rows fill up fast.

If this is your first enduro, watch out. The trails are very tight and sandy. You don't have to deal with rocks, but palmetto bushes leave something to be desired.

I'm in!!! :yeehaw: The only problem i have with May is i probably wont get to try out my Sportz tent. That's because it wont fit in my new truck i should have by then. :) I was really hoping to use it atleast once!

What's the chance of having a date set before the years out? That way i can put in vacation time for it.

 

[RM_guy]

Setting the date this early is difficult because most of the race schedules have not come out yet. The only date that is out is 5/18 because of a Mountian bike race at Paragon that day.

Hopefully there will be more insight as to race dates by December.

 

[Papakeith]

Is this one gonna be at Paragon definitely?

 

[RM_guy]

Yes. Since we're going to be planning more than one ride next year lets make this one at Paragon.

 

[Dennis Meyers]

I've never been to Paragon, how are the trails there? With the new job any weekend should be OK, better pay and no more working every Saturday! :yeehaw: I'll be looking forward to May, especially with the 2 or 3 inches of snow on the ground here right now. :|

 

[RM_guy]

Dennis,
The trails are pretty nice. There's everything from wide open fire roads to tight technical stuff.

2 to 3 inches? A friend of mine was snowmobiling Saturday up north someplace (not sure where) and he said they had 2 feet of snow!!:eek:

 

[CaptainObvious]

I'm in. Just let me know what weekend so I can cross it off the calendar before the warden puts some estrogen-driven event (that I'll have to go on) for the same weekend.

 

[Dennis Meyers]

2 feet! I don't even want to think about that. Are there any special requirements for the bike at Paragon? Insurance, spark arrestor, etc... ?

 

[Hucker]

Nope, just bring your $$$ and you'll be fine.

 

[Dapper]

Be there or be square! :yeehaw:

Hucker, I think you got the wrong guy. I'm not familiar with the syrup injected sausage. :confused:

 

[RM_guy]

Dennis,
They were at Tug Hill up near Watertown. I guess they always get hit with lots of snow even when it's warm in Syracuse.

Paragon is all private land so there are no special requirements except the right protective gear. The website has more info www.paragonap.com

 

[JasonJ]

Sounds sweet to me :aj: . I vote for a Saturday ride so we can stay the night party then ride some more or go home Sunday, If you do it on Sunday, your liable to get some people who come up Saturday, ride, party and ,,,,,, well,,,, go home,,,, :| ,,,, LOL,,,, Not that I know anyting about that,,,, :p
Now,,,,, tell me some more about these sasages with syrup in them hmmmmmm???

 

[XR-MAN]

I read their web site and it said something about a flag. Do you have to have a flag on your bike? I don't want that hitting me in the butt all day.

 

[scooter1130]

no flags for the bikes.....the flags are only for ATVs and SUVs, but it is good to see that some pople actually read the regulations before heading out :thumb:

 

[XR-MAN]

Paragon is a long haul for me, anybody interested in a mid-west location for a ride next year. I'm think Coal Creek in Oak Ridge, TN. For info go to windrockatv.com

 

[scooter1130]

XR-MAN,

The best thing to do is to start another thread for a ride at Coal Creek, Just pick a month, as was done here, and ask what date is best for most people. There are rides at different spots all over the country, all it takes is someone to get the ball rolling, and I'm sure you could get a good ride together.
