Forum Ride

[STR8UPAK]

That is one of the reasons I probably won't make Valdez. The wife already said to go but, I have other reasons as well.

Don't be scared of the big hills Pedro, The reason you should go is to celebrate my birthday with some of that fancy dancin' i heard so much about. I am sure Doof would dance with you if you are worried about having a partner.

Hey now I might be scrared of the hills but, leave my dancin out of this!!

Anyone from fairbanks who's going to the forum ride in valdez have room for one more? I can find my own place to stay once we're there, I just need a ride for me and my sled. I'll pay my share of gas and bring cookies! Please let me know asap so I can start acting sick at work to build a cover story for my absence.

Is anybody interested in avalanche awareness class while in Valdez?

I wouldnt mind learning how to dig a pit, and reading it if we get a chance. I was going to try to set something up with Sarah Carter, and Mike and Jennifer when we were down there for the Hillclimbs, but the sooner the better. I hope everyone brings avy gear with you to Valdez, maybe we can do some beacon practice.

 

[Dash]

Mike will be most likely unavailable but I will contact Sarah. I realize that people are going to Valdez to ride but if the weather is bad, than we should definitely practice with beacons....
Here is Midge907's quote, he and his group took a class this fall: ....and were able to do some good hands on work. We even found out that two beacons were defective, and that alone may have saved lives.

 

[Prayn4snow]

Looks like my crew will have to wus out...One totaled sled, one waiting on parts (chain case & A-arms), one has to work and my witch doctor (Chiropractor) said I have to finish paying his kid's way through college I cant hardly move...Stinks getting old. I am packed and ready to go
Have fun down there and be safe:beer

 

[Dash]

If you change your mind, we might have one spot available, leaving Thursday evening....
There will be Avalanche Awareness Class in Valdez on 2/13 upstairs at Ernestos, from 7-9pm, we can eat dinner during the class.

 

[Spook]

OK.

Those of you coming down on Thursday night. It sounds like we can meet at Ernesto's. Dash what time?

For everyone else I would say to meet at Totem's Bar in the back around 8pm? I will give out my Cell # if you PM me..

I hope to ride the whole weekend, however my wife is due any day, so it might change.. Although she is cool with me going if I bring the SAT phone.

FYI some riders came down from Anchorage and found out we clutch dif. here so bring spare parts..

See you all very soon.

Also I am checking to see if anyone is stopping by Anch arctic cat? I have a spring there. Let me know. Thanks

Spook

 

[Dash]

I will be there Thur evening. THe class is on Friday, so I think it would be better to meet on Thur at TOtem's since some people might be pulling in late, and for those who will arrive to Valdez on Friday, we will be at Ernestos from 7-9.
Whooo hoooo, I can't wait, I am sure I will be waking up all night from being so excited!!!!!

 

[Midge907]

Any plans for after the avy class on Friday night, we probally wont roll into Valdez until after 7, I suppose we could go to Ernestos after we get all checked in. Whats the plans for Saturday morning??? Spook could you pm your cell # to me. later

 

[Ridgerat]

If the rest of my parts arrive tomorrow mid-day (like they are supposed to) then we will be arriving Thursday night also.

Spook, what elevation should I set my clutching for?

 

[Dash]

Ridgerat, I went to Carrs in Palmer today, and they were out of Jeager... Have you been shopping here lately?

What spare parts are you guys bringing (beside oil, belts and ducktape) ?
