Fox Valley Off-Road (Wedron, IL) Spring Fling

[MXSparx]

It's time for all goers to start planning the annual invasion of Wardy's Fox Valley Off Road. The spring dates are as follows.....
May 14, 15 and 16. That's Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
There may be a fall ride but you never know.

Wooo Hoooo time for Wardy's!!!!! :yeehaw: :yeehaw: :yeehaw:

 

[Wolf]

edit...crap, of course you picked that weekend. Might be able to do Friday, have to be home Saturday...gig time.

Looks like I will be there and hopefully spider can drive down for a day or 2.
My wife had taken the week off and I did on her nagging she wanted to go camping somewhere that week. Last night I brought up the idea of camping in a field near Ottawa IL and she hesitantly agreed as long as we first spend mon through thursday at Starved Rock park so she can pretend it isn't about riding all week

 

[MXSparx]

Excellent !!! :cool:

 

[Senior KX Rider]

Eric and I are in. Cant wait

 

[MXSparx]

Got our room reserved at the Super 8 just minutes from FVOR. Indoor plumbing for those in need.
We should be pulling in sometime Wednesday evening. Not sure exactly when, but know it will be 12 hours after we leave home :whoa:

 

[Rich Rohrich]

Sparx - Do you have a number or website for the Super 8?

 

[MXSparx]

Super 8 Ottawa

 

[Rich Rohrich]

Thanks John, I got mine in too. :cool:

 

[Pokie]

what, no camping under the stars? I was thinking of bringing my Civil War tent and straw mat....an early version of a Super 8 room ........ and with my trusty and lethal musket for protection! :nener:

 

[MXSparx]

That works too Pokie! But with the wife already having had back surgery and me awaiting it, camping is not really an option :(

 

[motometal]

hmmmmm....I think the wife had plans for me that weekend...but what if I could get her to come to FVOR instead? Ever since my first dirtweek/(acutally spodefest) i've told her how great all the DRN folks are...maybe this time I can talk her into coming...camp out for a night or two...

 

[Chili]

Less than a week, pack the hauler and meet us at FVOR!

 

[Wolf]

We're still planning on rolling down there for a day!!

 

[motometal]

It's looking like Jake, Steve and I will be coming, Thursday through Saturday (subject to...). Couldn't talk the wife into it but she is ok with me going. She thinks you are all cereal killers. No, she doesn't.

Lou, you still have a little bike to bring so we can race around the tracks?

I still have the little Suzuki. I had installed heavy fork springs shortly after I got it, but never did anything with the rear. Riding it, it never felt balanced (of course) since I'm about 60 pounds heavier than the target weight for the bike. I had modified the spring for another bike by collapsing one coil of the spring with a torch, tried that trick on this bike and failed. So I have no spring, there is one on the way, hopefully no hangups with that...if so I'll make due just riding the big bike.

tic toc tic toc
We 3 will be pulling out of Va in the wee hours of Wed morning

 

[biglou]

no little bike anymore. but there may be some interesting other "little" bikes there to try out...

 

[motometal]

anyone heard from Walt? I'll see if I can find his email address...
