Any DRN'ers bringing their kids, wives that are just play riders? This year I would like to bring my son (10) girlfriend and daughter(10). But I would like to know if their are any kids, less experienced loops planned.

I'd be more than happy to leading a kids/less experienced/beginners/I'm injured/I'm old/I'm scared or I'm just plain slow ride.

Every year there are kids and BEGINNER women. Even a couple beginner men. I have taken groups in the past on a very friendly loop. I am more than willing to keep up my tradition. I just wish I could clone myself.

EVERYONE is welcome, regardless, of age, gender, persuasion (?), color, race or creed. AND everyone will have someone to ride with, even if that means ME.

Brain, does this mean you are in for sure?

I'm up for any beginner rides especially since I only rode 2 or 3 times last year. :(

If it's not a motocross track - I'm a complete spode. My 1/2 of loop at DW felt like a 100 mile woods race to me. I was lucky I got to follow Steve Beckwith and his son for most of it. (Yes, I think his son was on a 50).

So count me in for a beginner ride.

And if anyone wants to show Red and I where the MX-like tracks are along the way, that would be great too! :thumb:

Nikki, I will take you two to every track out there, then you can pick your poison from there.

These are not man made tracks. Natural terrain MX, but s couple are pretty good, so I am told.

Nikki, those "natural tracks" are very near to the Moonrocks Pits area if I recall. Like a mile or so. Then Phirechick showed bratt where the practice jumps were and she thought were pretty cool. Could not talk me into trying them, however, I was content to watch :) They looked "kicky" and "scarey" :scream:

Not sure yet - still unemployed but got a couple of solid prospects. I'll do my best to get there for at least 1 day.

Strick - awesome thanks for the offer to show us the MX-like areas!!

Natty - the "practice jump" area sounds fun too.... maybe you or bratt can bring us by there if you remember how to get there.

Cool, I'll have the honor of being lapped by Nikki on a natural-terrain MX track! Hey, my bike has a headlight so I'm SUPPOSED to be slow!

In the event of NVR FNSH's absence, who will sweep the PB Ride???  Rooster?  Kiwi?  Mick? 

Skill Requirements:

  • Must be able to recognize hormonal fluctuations in personality and react calmly.
  • Must be able to practice Dr. Phil-like inspirational pep talks when  PB riders have reached the abyss
  • Must be capable of riding not only your bike, but perhaps another bike or two up or down steep rutted hills
  • Must have thick skin to deflect estrogen-charged barbs and daggers that may be stared in your direction.
 


Who's up for the job?   :yeehaw:

I'd be willing to ride sweep.
I am going to be racing on Sunday so I don't need to ride fast on Friday and Saturday. I know the area pretty well too so that wouldn't hurt. I'm used to my wife calling me names and cursing at me so tough skin isn't a problem.

Might be a bad idea for us to drink together...... Especially if the wives are around :p

Natty you described the requirements perfectly :scream:

Moto'n Mama - COOL! We're arriving Friday afternoon (with Natalie) - probably between 3:00 and 4:00... not sure if we'll get in some ride time on Friday or not.
