Organized Event?

[WoodsRider]

This may be a little premature, but I’m just wondering how much interest there is in holding a DYDR off-road poker run?

*Etherical voice on*
Run it, and they will come. . .
*voice off*
I'm in.
Was there any doubt?:)

 

[RM_guy]

I've never been to one. I'm in depending on when and where :)

 

[Silverback]

Count me in!! :aj:

The poker run would consist of a hare scrambles style course 3 to 5 miles in length. Each participant would complete a lap and draw a card. After five laps, best hand wins. In case of a tie(s) there would be a one card “draw-off” until a winner is declared.

The beauty of this is it doesn’t take a whole lot of effort to mark the course. We could probably make a weekend out of it by marking the course on Saturday and having a potluck dinner that evening, share some good bench racing stories over a campfire then hold the poker run on Sunday.

Ideally we’d want to hold this event on private land with enough space for a long course. This would probably cost some money for a land-use fee and course markings. We might also have to obtain insurance and definitely rent a portacan. If this sounds like something everyone would be interested in, let’s get some ideas going here.

A poker Run sounds like a good time . I have done them on the street bike before but never off road. Bill, have you talked to anybody about useing CATRA land ? I won't be able to make Aprils meeting but should be at the work day on the following Sunday . Heh he , Jib is still loged on here , boy could I do some damage to his good name .:debil:

If its anywhere in NY State I could get a bunch of guys to come down from Ontario. Keep us posted.

 

[WoodsRider]

Steve (jib? :p) - There's not much difference. You can either have a hare scramble type course and pull a card each lap or an enduro type course with multiple check points to pull a card. Catraland is a very good possibility. I'll have to check into the details though. Just don't let BRush lay out one of those Roger courses! :eek:

Peer - We'd welcome our neighbors from the North, eh?

 

[KTM Pete]

Hey, I'm interested too. Where the hell is Niskayuna?? We are east of Rochester NY. what is Catraland?

In deep doodoo now that Woodsrider moved thier .It's also in the Albany area. CATRA land is club land owned by the Capitol Area Trail Riders Ass.

Not much difference between road and off-road poker run rules. There's definitely a difference between Steve and Mike... one of you is a whole lot faster. ;)

 

[jib]

You're right !

[knobbiethrower]

Count me in. When and where? :cool:

 

[dirtybkr]

Hey Knobbie , you, me and WoodsRider :aj:

 

[knobbiethrower]

dirtybkr, you mean riding with our eyes closed and not being able to shut the throttle off because of arm pump?

 

[WoodsRider]

My eyes weren't closed, I just could see past all that roost your 520SX was throwing up! :scream:

 

[RM_guy]

You guys mean you're supose to keep you eyes open :scream: That explains a few things :confused:

Like why I spent the day riding the Couchmaster 250 instead of my RM. :whiner:

 

[dirtybkr]

:moon: Come on woods , answer the question . Wich is worse , getting stuck behind a roosting four wheeler or behind Moses on a KTM when he parts the brown sea ?

:eek:

 

[WoodsRider]

Actually what's worse would have been sitting at home riding a Couchmaster 250.

Second was not taking advantage of a prime opportunity to use you for traction at that creek crossing just because I'm a nice guy. Remember though, we're racing in the same class and my attitude changes when I put on that race face. :p

The quad was a close second... thankfully I had plenty of tear-offs. :confused:

Moses wasn't bad, but must've been funny as hell from way back where you were. :moon:
