2010 Forum Ride

[XC700116]

OK lets start to get a good head count. I would like to get a rough number so I can go to lodging operations in the CB/Irwin area to see what kind of a deal we can work. In the first thread there seemed to be a pretty good consensus for President's day weekend with a few that noted that it would be better on another weekend due to Valentines day. I think that for the sake of those traveling and the fact that many folks have Presidents day as a holiday we will just go with that. Voting on every aspect will take too much time to get all the details together in time to make all the arrangements.

Please post

1. how many will be with you

2. If you will be staying in the lodging accommodations negotiated or if you plan on finding a place to camp.

3. If you were involved in the raffle collections last year if you could/would please either let me know your contacts or contact them again for this year. If you contact them and they commit to a donation, please get me a copy of their company logo for the shirts.

As for the money raised from the shirts and the raffle I am suggesting that SAWS receive the money from one of them and the BRC from the other. These are the two leading groups fighting for our right to ride public land and they also seem to be the most actively involved with snowmobiles specifically.

Please post any other info that you think will be needed.

Just me. I'll be hoping to room with the Texan, that Brainard dude and our resident nerd! JR might make it also, haven't spoken with him about it though.

I'll probably have me +2. Presidents weekend works good for me.

Our club will probably have our annual snow drags event one of the other weekends in February (but not Presidents weekend because of lodging in our area).

FYI ...

The CSA Convention is also the second weekend of Feb (Presidents Day) in Walden. Might be a scheduling problem for some.

Is there any riding done at this convention or does everybody just attend seminars and hang out?

 

[Waldo11]

Love to attend if able. At least me + the ball and chain. Only problem is I wont know my schedule till the month prior for work....

Does CB/Irwin have terrain for a beginner rider? My GF will want to go, but this will be her first season riding.

I dunno. Mule went there on his first year of riding and he really enjoyed it. He has really grown as a rider since. He has unknowingly followed me into some rough stuff and done just fine.

There is an area called "Splain's Gulch", which is a series of long meadows, surrounded by mellow forests, and we groom a snow-road right down the middle of it. It always has good snow out there; 10 min off Kebler Pass.

We also groom a road up to the rolling hills, etc..

If she wants trail riding, you can go all the way over Kebler pass to Erricsson Springs. It's not Grand Lake as far as trails go, but we(SnoTrackers) do groom three times each week.

I don't think she's going to be much of a trail rider, not with a helmet full of red hair Going to pick her up an 04 Rev 600 tomorrow, with all the riding right out of the back door, I'm sure she'll be ready!

Last year 3 days full of riding, mostly with locals leading. You'd get in all that your thighs can handle....
