TNT will be open, but I've got too much to do to the bikes and RV to make it Saturday. :(

If you go to Sandhills, good luck! (They are having practice on Saturday, too, I hear)

Man, you can tell who rode and who didn't ride at the New Years Day thing...

Bryan has spent countless hours and untold amounts of fuel in the pressure washer trying to get to the point where we can even see the bikes. Now them puppies gotta be torn down and get more cleaning and maintainance. And we haven't even gotten to the toter-home yet.

Jeeze, now I remember why I hate mud so much.

Two laps and a short jaunt through the woods got me this...

BTW Bruce, I didn't even know who you guys were until Gomer said cannondale's, I walked by you guys at least fifty times. Next time I will have to say hi.

Bryan and his bud and teammate Brent Painther must have rode 40 miles or so, I got in a little over 20. Our bikes just now are beginning to look as good as yours does!!!! *LOL*

Bryan said he felt his front brakes going away so today he pulled the front pads. They were fine, with lots of wear left in them when he checked them a couple of weeks ago, now they are worn past the material and actually into the backing plate itself!

Oh lordy... this could prove to be be one expencive ride...

I'm not sure actually. It's back behind a future development. They ride atv's, bikes, and horses back on the trails. Its about 20mi. of trails. Not really technical since they were made by four wheelers,but some spots are fairly tight. We went sat. and it was alot of fun. We saw some horse back riders while we were out and they didn't say anything to us about not being allowed to be there. I actually found out about it on one of the websites that tells places to ride in NC. Might go there next weekend or TNT which ever we feel like

I'll take that as an offer!  Barbara has lots of work planned for the trails, but it's tough to do without widening them, and that won't happen.

Well, it definately is one.

How about doing some re-route Gomer? I was thinking that a few spots of trail could stand to be fixed, routed around and left alone for a while.

Billy was talking about that. Also on the SCORE public list we have been talking about a potential workday there. If you are interested let us know.

It just takes someone to push it into fruition.

Ivan,

We would definately be interested. We'd need some notice on a date, but I can forsee us going down on a Saturday morning and staying for a week-end.

Jeff McDonald told me that he was under the impression that the SWECO could be had, but it had to be transported from somewhere (Bill Blythe's maybe?) and a truck driver with a current CDL was needed to move it? I guess one of the guys at TNT is certified to operate it once it's there.

I'm all for blazing some new trail, and even though it goes against the grain :)
I could even cut it wide enough for ATV's. But considering the condition of the trails currently, the SWECO is a definate gotta have.

Should I also post this on the SCORE list?

Please.

Yes, we need someone with a CDL license (as well as the taxes paid on the truck but I think that may be in the works).

If anyone else wants to sign up to the SCORE e-mail list visit www.scohv.org and click on the join score link. On that page is a link to sign up to the e-mail list.

We appreciate all the help you can give.

I would call Barbara first and find out how she would like to proceed.

My understanding from talking to Barbara is that the tough part is going to be hauling in dirt to fill some of the low spots.

It's Barbara's land, so whatever she wants is what will be done, but...

I don't believe I'd go to the trouble and expence of hauling in fill dirt, or even hauling it very far on the property. The land has enough natural roll that with a little thought we should be able to utilize whats nearby.

Gomer, you talk to her more than most of us, why don't you give her a call and see exactly what she's got on her mind.

Something is going to have to be done or she stands to loose a lot of revenue from folks that aren't going to want to ride until something is done. But she has a better idea of those kind of issues than I.
