DYDR introduces Farmer John to East coast trail riding at Paragon, 8/5-6

[JasonJ]

Are you going to mak it up Captain O?

 

[CaptainObvious]

I'm planning on it, but I can't commit to it yet. It all depends on vacation schedules and other factors. At this time it's looking good.

I have a new Maxxis IT tire for your WR in exchange for a watch! So I hope to see you there.

 

[ogri]

So we'll plan to be going out on the first run at 10 am-ish then?

Yep!

 

[JasonJ]

Oh cool! you really dont owe me anyting though. Is the Masxis IT the one thats DOT approved? :aj: Already got mine inspected this week though :aj:

 

[Farmer John]

I'm shooting for a Thursday night arrival riding Friday and Saturday leave either Sat night or Sun morning.

This is pretty much my plan. :) wooot woot :)

How is the camping @ Paragon?
I would like to be able to park my camper & ride, but if it is best to park at a campground & truck my bike to PAP, I can do that.

camping at Paragon just opened. Its $5 a nite right now, no water or electric yet, but if you have a generator and water in the camper, then its not a problem. Red ridge where most people stay is about 10 miles from the park, they have showers and water and electric hookups. If you plan on camping at Paragon, they request people make reservations, and you need to check in while the park is opened...between the hours of 8am and 6pm

 

[RM_guy]

Until they get showers at Paragon I'm sticking to RedRidge. If anyone tries to convince me otherwise they may well regret it :ohmy:

I am looking forward to camping right at the trails but just not yet.

 

[scooter1130]

showers at Paragon are about 6 months away....so they should be all set for next years rides :cool:

 

[Trigger1911]

You never know who is going to show up at these things! Anyone want to go to BEAVERS?

 

[Papakeith]

Anyone want to go to BEAVERS?

ack!!

Until they get showers at Paragon I'm sticking to RedRidge.

[RM_guy]

I was going to call this week and reserve our usual spot for 8-4 thru 8-6 (Thursday night thru Sat night)

John, if you need elec hook up let me know.

 

[Farmer John]

what is your usual spot?
I'm call for reservations today....

 

[RM_guy]

I already called it in. We are set for the 4th, 5th & 6th. We will be in the area behind the barn. When you pull into the campground take the very first right and the spot is on you right. There is a big barn just behind where we set up. If you are not sure just go to the office (continue straight after you enter the park) and tell them you are with DirtRider.Net and they will direct you to the right place.

Park where ever you want. There are no designated spots, we just take over the whole area on the right side of the road.

 

[Farmer John]

cool beans!

Is there another group discount for Paragon again this time around?

I didn't think we'd have enough for one this time but It looks like maybe we will. I have to get a head count and see if we can or not.

There's just me coming, not 2. If i brought the little lady i wouldnt be able to ride the ST with you guys. She does fine on a quad and street bike but i dont have a running bike that she can handle at the moment. Maybe next year you can mark 2 beside my name. ;)

 

[RM_guy]

Thanks Chucke but a " it will be just me" would have been fine :moon: We'll sign her up for next year then :)

 

[Treejumper]

I dont know what "short and to the point answers" are. :nener:

Oh yeah, did i tell you that i need to go mow the grass today before it rains? Hmm, i think i told someone but i forget. Good thing i dont stay on the subject matter much. :laugh:
