Paragon ride May 3rd & 4th

[Flying Scot]

So far we are going up Friday night probably arrive around 7pm. Oh I take that back, my daughter just told me that she is not at school Friday and my wife said she will take my son out early if I get off work early. DONE. So we should be arriving any time between 4 and 6. Hour and a half drive so depending on my Bud Phil and how large his entourage gets and how organized they get in 6 days that is what time we expect to get there. Fishing rods included.

 

[Treejumper]

Is the fishing rod for those who cant keep up? :)

 

[Flying Scot]

Something to do when we are done riding. Which should be about 1 pm each day knowing my luck.

 

[Treejumper]

So is your luck fishing better than your luck riding? Hope so then we might get a nice fish dinner. ;)

When you arrive at the campground you will tell them you are with "DIRT RIDER ONLINE" and you will receive a special rate. The contact person is Raymond, he is the owner. No reservations are needed but if it makes you feel better, go ahead. He told me $10.00 per night per person. Treat the place like it is your own and we will be welcomed back like last year. Thanks.

[Papakeith]

[Treejumper]

Did the trip directions on Yahoo and found out Paragon is closer than i thought! Only 183 miles so i'll be there sooner than i thought. Plus i got friday off so i can pack in the morning instead of thursday. This is going to be a great ride!

Well Sally, looks like I'm going to have to find some more hills for you to flounder on. :laugh:

As for Nancy, he (she) is all excited about sleeping with Trigger! :scream:

Oh and Tree jumper, save the girly-girl stuff for when you're trolling the high schools! :moon:

Yes, Mrs. Woods, Jr. Woods and myself are staying in a motel. I wouldn't want my son hanging around all you riff-raff. You all know how impressionable young minds are.

Impressed??? He told me he soiled his shorts and creamed his jeans. :laugh:

I've been practicing my Parking Lot-Superman-Seat Grab to Indian Air to Hart Attack all winter... of course it looks a lot like some doofus low-siding on the ice, but what can I say. Of course I really wanted to have my backflip perfected, but we ran off the member who was giving me all the hot tips. :scream:

I know that trigger posted some simple rules for paragon, but thought I would post the park rules for those who have never been there before, and some who didn't read them last time :laugh: .......pay close attention to rules 10, 11 & 16

And for the nancy's out there who are affraid of a little adventure, if you want a trail map, I suggest printing it from here http://paragonap.com/trailmaps.htm  this map is color and easier to read than the black and white maps available at the park. 

Also Turtle Trail (#7) has changed since last year.  It is now one way, it is downhill only before 12:00 and uphill only after 12:00

 

1. All participants to the park must check in and check out. A driver’s license or credit card may be held to ensure proper check out procedures.

2. (SUVs and ATVs)  All participants must display an orange safety flag. SUV’s must have the flag at least one foot above the highest point of the vehicle. ATV’s must have the flag at least one foot above the helmet while standing on the foot-pegs.

3. All SUV participants must wear the provided PAP wristband on their left wrist. All ATV’s and Motorbikes must have the provided PAP wristband displayed loosely around the handlebars.

11. Parking lot is for parking. No tricks or horseplay. Please do not cause commotion or damage to other vehicles.

THESE RULES ARE TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY. Participants that disregard the rules of PAP, or pose a safety threat to themselves or others will, at a minimum, be ejected from the park without a refund and may be suspended from future visits to PAP.

OK you just got my attention :p

 

[Treejumper]

Bikes, riding, good friends, and a Nudi bar! It cant get any better than that! :)

 

[Papakeith]

Nudie bar?! :eek: :laugh:

 

[Flying Scot]

Do they serve dinner. Trying to find a nice place to eat for the family :laugh:

 

[Papakeith]

LOL!

 

[Treejumper]

Heard they have nice crab cakes! :eek:

 

[Flying Scot]

Yep, it would be innappropriate I'm sure. Back to the weather. Now they are calling for showers Friday with Thunderstorms late evening and showers Saturday along with frigid temperatures early morning. The wife called and said we should bag the whole weekend.  :whiner:

    I told her that Camping may not be the right idea now and if she wanted to bag Friday night camping and Saturday riding I would go along but we should wait until Thursday morning until we make a decision. Back up plan is and my bud agrees we come up Saturday around 6pm and stay overnight at a Hotel / Motel and ride Sunday. Still have to swing the wife and only the weather will do that.  :ugg:

I HOPE THE WEATHER CHANGES, I WANT BOTH DAYS !
