It's only been a little over two weeks! And I'm going this SATURDAY... possibly racing on Sunday.

Translation: Wife is leaving town Saturday morning. I'm going riding after that and if I don't break anything I'm racing on Sunday too.

If you do make it down this Sunday to race, stop by the house afterwards if you have time. I’ll be in clean up mode after my son’s graduation party on Saturday. We may even have some speedies left over…I doubt it very much but maybe.

I can send you the map again if you need it:)

We're planning on being at Harpursville on Sunday as well, Woods.

RM_Guy, maybe you'd better make a double batch of those Speides! :)

Cant believe I missed this thread #@!!!

Hey guys, thats what I get for not checking ALL the forums, Yea man, count me in, a mini-NY-fest would be stokin', I got at least 3-4 others who'll come too. Ive heard they improved the course since I was there,(last year) but when I went, there was alot of rocks and ruts in some nasty swamps, and not much else. But no reason why I wouldnt try it again. There are better places to ride in the area, but the problem is without an established "park" we stand the chance of having issues with property owners. When people are traveling alot of miles to attend, we want to be sure things go smoothly. I'm not sure if Walden still has woods riding, but they have a great park and MX tracks (2) www.waldenmx.com and another www.acemotocross.com Im not sure if these places still have H/S woods loops or not, but I will look into it.

 

[RM_guy]

I’m open to any location in the area. If it does change let’s make sure everyone knows the new location. We can even go to a different place every year (or every 6 months) if we want to.

 

[High Lord Gomer]

Make up your minds!! If you do end up changing it to a track that has jumps, I'll try to swing up that way.

Hey Shaw520!

Its about time you found your way to this thread buddy! I emailed you to let you know what was up, but didnt hear from you-thats ok. Looking forward to checking out that big orange 520! So far, the plan looks like ATVNY, (Modena), but Im open to change if thats what the people want. Im looking forward to some great riding, trails, mx, whatever. I already have the day off, so I dont really give a ....
If most of you guys and gals dont care, we should probably leave it as it is-July 20, @ATVNY in Modena. We can ALWAYS do this again, maybe a month later, somewhere else. But if there are some opposed to the current place, post your preference asap, so we can make changes if necessary. As I said before, I dont care where it is-I have plenty of gas,:scream: , and the day off! Can we get a vote goin here?!?! YEE-HAW!!

 

[Shaw520]

Wayne, dont let me make any changes in your plans, Modena is fine with me and I'll be there no matter where we end up. Maybe we can have a 90' double installed for Gomer! Heck, we wouldnt want him to come all that way just to waddle around in some slimmy swamp, or would we, :p :D

Wayne, I sent you an e-mail, give me a call!

 

[WoodsRider]

I say let's keep the date and place... now I've got to convince Mrs. Woods into letting me go! :eek:

The 19th is her birthday and our anniversary... she wanted to keep it simple for me so I'd only have one date to remember. Problem is, if I ever forget that date, I'm toast. :scream:

 

[wayneo426]

Hey Woodsy,
Our anniversary is the 18th, and she wanted to go out Friday night to celebrate, but I got tix to a show, and a res at some fancy-shmancy restaurant on Sat nite, so I would be free on the 20th! All it takes is a little peck, (and a few prayers), here and there........:) Keep trying!

 

[LoriKTM]

Looks like Dave and I are in! We'll probably leave early Friday morning, and stay over until Saturday morning, or so.

 

[RM_guy]

Does anyone know the best route to Modena from the west? I plan on taking Rt 17 to Liberty, then 52 to Ellenville, then 209 and 44 to Modena.

Does that sound like the best way? That’s the way I used to go to Kingston for business. The park’s web site doesn’t show a route from where I’m coming from.

 

[wayneo426]

Try Mapquest

RM_guy,
Try the mapquest site:
www.mapquest.com
That should give you the most direct route.
We went to ATVNY yesterday. Some great riding in the open, but some of the woods were REALLY swampy. Just ask Kevin at the SpodeFest on the 2oth, (hee-hee).:D

 

[WoodsRider]

Okay, Mrs. Woods granted me parole... er... permission to go.

Water in the woods? Hey BRush, you hear that? Can't be too much different from catraland. ;)

 

[Papakeith]

How many non-riders are going?
I have the wifes blessings on the trip, but I would like her to come along. She doesn't want to if she is just going to sit by the truck all day alone.
Can't really blame her.

 

[WoodsRider]

Two weeks and counting.
Who's ready?

 

[wayneo426]

Houston, we have a go...

The rocket is on the launching pad, and we are ready to go! Two weeks and counting.

BTW, the grill looked pretty beat up:scream: , so I recommend bringing your own, if not just deli stuff.

 

[RM_guy]

Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait, can't wait, can't wait

Is anybody bringing a gas grill?

How is the MX track? If we can convince Gomer that it has more than one jump he might come. The we can lure him into the woods and...:p :p

Dave - Who needs Gomer when you're going to be there. ;)

The difference is that I'm not afraid of the woods. May it has something to do with easy access to "pokin' sticks" ;)

<sniff><sniff> If you'd had the experiences in the woods that I've had, you'd be skeered, too! :scream:

 

[wayneo426]

MX track? Not really...

The MX track reallywasnt. It consisted of a few berms, and some turns, a couple small jumps, but I wouldnt consider it a track. Sorry Gomer:(. We did find a few jumps though! Especially in the pit......;)

What's that?...do I hear the music from Deliverence playing in the back gound:p :eek:

 

[WoodsRider]

That's right Ned... er... RM_guy. :p
Say, ya gotta real purty mouth. :eek:

 

[Papakeith]

The cast comes of Tuesday!! :):):)That gives me almost two weeks to get my wrist back to good.
I can't wait!!
Is there a need for fire wood? Are there any pits for fires?
:think
We don't need any NY tags or anything do we? I would hate to get there and need some tag, or permit or something to ride.

Woods Rider, It looks like my significant other will not be making the trip. I asked her again this morning and she said that she didn't want to go. :(
