It isn't dieing. If anything, I think it will get bigger for the fact that you don't have to be a member of a club to ride there now.

Jay, have you been to the fall ride? It's different from the spring ride. It's ATVs and bikes. Well over 1000 in attendance. And the trails are 2 track with bike only sections. Much faster paced than the spring ride.

Hey guy’s glad to here you're coming to the ride. I was ride master the last few years at the fall ride for VSTA and did the first couple of Spring Rides for MTDR. I also laid out the trials at last year's for MTDR ride.

I am now doing the fall ride with VSTA’s blessing under my own promotion company “Southern Woods Rider”

You can find SWR on the web at www.southernwoodsrider.com

See you next week! :cool:

I had small but mighty crowd, I guess you could say I had a might small crowd.

Where buds traveling with Shane?

The ride was very scenic and lots of low water creek crossings. Saturdays loop including the trails on the ranch was 160 miles.

It was a little dusty and most commented they had a great time.

We have over 400 pre-entries today for the fall ride. This is more than any other year. I doubled the mailing this year and we could see as many as 1200+ riders.

Nah, weren't with Shane. You remember Darby or Jamie? They were on a little XT200 or and Super sherpa 250 bikes.

I farted around and didn't get my registr. sent in on time. Guess I'll be registering Saturday morning... Hopefully the lines won't be unbearable.

To the best of my knowledge that’s a bunch of crap. They are investing money every week into the campground. The state is widening Hwy. 13 and the ranch just paid to have the office building moved across the street make way for the new roadway.

Send me his contact information I would love to know were he’s getting his information.

Thanks,

Tom

Well im glad they are investing into the place. I LOVE the rides I plan for these two rides and put my vacation time in a year ahead of time to make sure I get these days off.
You cant ask for a better ride or a better group of people. And Tom you have done an amazing job with these rides.

They'll try just about anything. Heck, Darby rode the Super Sherpa home from Wisconsin, non stop. Took him 11 or 12 hours! :aj:
