| I know it's impossible to please everyone with this many people coming to the Spring Ride but if everyone will vote and give some feedback please we will try to do what the majority wants.If you want to see one big group or multiple groups and even if some want to ride H/M trails that's fine too.We need a game plan and if we have several groups who will be the leaders of those groups and what time they want to start their rides.My thing is I like to get back at a decent time and enjoy the rest of the evening by the fire

| Seems to me based on the few rides that I have been on we get more riding in with the fewer number of machines we have. With the number of machines that it looks like are going to be on the spring ride (60+), that is some slow going. Going slow is fine as long as we can keep the groups moving and limiting the number of stops. The stops seem to come along all by themselves with people making wrong turns and having to stop for repairs. I really don't care if we have 1 large group or 6 small groups as long as we get some miles in. |

Years past we tried to keep it one big group and still managed to ride between 50 & 80 miles but I timed all breaks with a 10 minute limit and a 30 min lunch break.The biggest thing is if someone has a mechanical problem and it can't be fixed in 5 minutes then one or two people need to volunteer to help get them back to camp so the rest of the group can keep riding.There is no need for everyone to suffer because someone's machine breaks down mine included.But I would like for us all to meet Saturday for a big group picture below the view. | |

| We'll I've never rode with y'all yet and we're open to anything. Wife, daughter and grand kids will be in T4 and she'll keep up. My son and I will be on Atv's and keeping up is no issues we just don't want to get lost out there. Never been on the outlaw trails. We open to whatever. Seams to me groups slow down because long breaks. If that's not an issue then one or two groups. I also like to enjoy the evening get cleaned up and toss back some cold ones and let the grand kids enjoy a fire and s'mores. | |

I always enjoyed one big group so everyone get to spend the day together.When you have different groups it just isn't the same to me.With one group I do have to time the breaks and keep the group moving to get our miles in and get back around 6:00pm which I like to do to get cleaned up and get dinner done and then spend the rest of the evening around the community fire and have some cold ones and do the socializing around the fire.I want people to do whatever that's going to make them happy since it's their money they are spending to come to this event. | |

| I have rode in the Spring & Fall rides every year at least 1 or 2 days. I have always had a good time & look forward to years to come. One of the most important things is, keep the guy behind you in your rear view mirror or wait at the intersections for the one following you. | |

| I used to be for multiple groups but realized the big rides were my time to see everyone so I am back on the one big group ride. It is nice seeing everyone and I would like to see all my friends. |

| I say one group. What do you think about having a short drivers meeting before we take off to tell people what they need to do so we can keep things moving along and get the miles in. Like watching for the guy behind you at intersections and if you do loose the person in front of you use some common sense and look for tracks. With 70+ machines it shouldn't be to hard to see which way they went. Sorry I posted this on the spring ride thread. Thought had clicked on this one you can delete the other one if you want. | |

| That's what the Spring and Fall Rides are all about is riding in a large group twice a year and yea I 'm like most people I would not want to do it very often and some times it gets frustrating but It is nice to see and ride with new people and some people you only get to ride with at these rides.I'm just going to post what time I will be leaving each morning and where to meet etc and whoever wants to go in my group can be ready to go and if you want to make other plans that's up to each person.
I'm thinking the start times each day should be 9:30am.It seems 9:00am is to early for some and 10:00 is to late for others so what do you guys think about 9:30am
I will bring my loud speaker so I can do the 2 minute warnings when break is over and it's time to ride again. | |

| A 9:30 start time is fine with me but you may want to make the Friday start time a little later. Some people might be driving in on Friday morning so pushing that start time to 10 might be best to give people an extra 30 minutes to arrive, check in, and get unloaded. |

| In all honesty we rode 100+ miles in one day with 82 bikes. Stopped had a cookout had plenty of fun. I can get friends and ride in small groups anytime I want. We need a big group. If you don't like it start your own group and have a blessed day. | |
