Yeah been riding in Tenn / KY seems the peopel I ride with don't want to drive to WV after the Gilbert fiascal. Most of us will be there that weekend though. I will definitely drop by. So will there be an Apple Pie?

SE side just north of Beech Grove by 465 and HWY 52. Normally goto Windrock, Brimstone, Evarts and Stanton. Trying to get the group to goto Wagonwheel more even though its a long way in comparison.

I reckon I'm riding MudMuckers. Was planning to make the trip to WV but
work is getting in my way so I'm doing a short weekend close by.

I will be there and think I am staying with Geterdun......you still got room Kevin? Gotta work Friday though ......so will be there after work.

GIDGET AND GADGET possibly, OF1 we took off work anyway.

We will be there Thursday thru Saturday night. Leaving Sunday. Would be nice to hook up with some of you guys.

Gadget and Gidget will love the tent!!!!

Well...Im kinda bummed. I have been riding for about five years now in WV. Every year on Labor Day and Memorial Day we have always camped thursday thru saturday with a certain group of friends. Good people and good times. Every year it seems to get less and less people being able to go. This year it has dwindled down to just Me, my wife, and a friend from work that has never went with us. We have always just pitched a tent up a mountain top rentals(not hilltop) above the stairsteps cause its the cheapest place and we kinda know the owners. But I dont know how fun that will be with just three of us. It used to be like 10-12 of us camping. Oh well Im going Hell or Highwater. Seems like you just cant get people to get out and do anything anymore. And two of the people not making it out this year is for health reason and I wish them a fast recovery. Hopefully I will catch up with some of you guys on the trails. If you wanna meet up somewhere to ride, let me know. I will be there Thursday until Saturday night, And Im gonna get some night riding done somewhere in there. Shawn we will probly come down to Ashland to pester you guys. Looking forward to getting away from work for awhile.

Bobby may try to come up sat. what time you guys riding?

We really dont have a set time to ride. We usually eat breakfast down at the Ashland Company store around 8 maybe. Usually on the trail around 9ish.

I use to ride with big groups too.... I think everybody is feeling this recession....

I hear ya, Sandbuggy. Forgive me for waxing philosphical for a minute: Life is change - that's just the way it is. I used to always camp on Labor Day weekend on property my uncle owns by a little mountain stream in western VA. Used to be me and my family, and 15-20 old school friends. Then dwindled down to just my immediate family, my brother-in-law and my 2 nephews. All the kids are older now and this year they all want to do other things with their friends closer to home, so we're not even going. But you know what? When my daughter told me last Friday that she didn't want to go camping after all, I immediately booked myself a cabin at Wild Willy's and now I get to ride (!!) and hopefully make a couple of new friends. I fully intend to have just as much fun (if not more) this coming weekend as I always do over the Labor Day weekend. Change can be a bummer when it's happening, but (almost) every change brings a new opportunity.







Okay, end of philosophical soliloquy. I'm not sure exactly when I'm gonna get down there (hopefully Friday night) or exactly where I'm riding on Saturday, but if I'm near Ashland Saturday morning I'll look for you. Now:

I will be in site #96 (at the rock) at Ashland. Dewey & Sissy are in #95. We have a few other there as well. Some have backed out due to them getting hit by the storm last weekend in NC though.



Come on by & say hello.

Will do!
