I had planned a really nice weekend to celebrate the new year and get plenty of riding time in. Checked the weather forecast on Tuesday and I am surely living right, the next six days where going to be mild. I did what any one of us would do in the same situation. I went to the boss, and worked my way into taking Thurs.and Friday off.
Thursday moring had us all scrambling to get some left over from Christmas chores done and some Honey-do work out of the way. By the time lunch time came I had the toyhauler loaded and we were on our way. On site, camp set up, bikes unloaded and plenty of daylight. I spend from 3 till dark-thirty tuning the suspension on the new scoot. Life is great a few more friends show up and we do a huge dinner and campfire, life is better.
Friday morning we take the women and children out for some fun times and after 18 or so miles they have had their fill, it is now time for some big boy fun. With a little lunch and refuel the big boy group goes out for one of many of our 30-35 mile runs and get back just in time to sort things out before dark. As I am working on getting things together for the Saturday run the cell phone rings, It is the office's answering service!!!!!!!!!
This is never good, however this time it was a personal call, what a deal. Long story a little shorter, it was Will Pattison, what a deal, we hooked up and Will came out and did a little southeastern single track ride with us. It was great to share some of our "secret stuff" with a fellow DRN'r. Will did say somewhere along the way " I see how this goes, lure the new guy on the mx bike in then go for the throat. " We had a great time, it was fun times riding and/or racing along. Too bad those mx bikes have small tanks. :)
We have to get some more DRN folks over to ride with us, anyone interested can get some first hand scoop from Will P. and then contact me, we have some Okie and Thump approved offroad trails also. :laugh:
