Muddy Mark has been doing a Christmas ride for years and every rider brings a gift for a poor family or two in WV West Va.

The ride starts in Matoaka,Wv

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matoaka,_West_Virginia

I think we need to have any members that can make this ride join in and help some people out and make their Christmas a little better should try to go.The ride starts in the town of Matoaka,Wv which is where everyone will meet and park and Muddy Mark will lead the ride.
This ride is for anyone to attend not just Side X Sides that can donate a present and it can be as simple as canned food,dog food,Wal-Mart gift card etc etc.


Attending:

Muddy Mark
Prairie Dawg
Sand Buggy



There will be lot's of Mark's friends that do this every year with him so he can give us a better idea how many riders will be going that are not members here.
I'm sure Mark will give us more details and answer any questions you have if you are interested in riding for this event.



Videos of past rides

he sure is a nice guy

Check out the videos I just added of some of these past rides

wow

That right there is what it's ALL about !!!

I may try to make this one!

That was very nice of them....

Always good to help the less fortunate especially at christmas. I will try to make it. Man that is a great cause videos are

Glad to see things like this -- will try our best to attend this year.

Very cool! Gonna have to try and make this one for sure.

awesome!!!what a great group of folks!!!

If we can't go we need a way to send a donation ...

Like james said if I can,t make it .I am in for a donation.

Bump this thread.

I hate to say it but from the work my RZR needs it's not looking like I will be able to ride again that soon so If you want to send a donation PM Sandbuggy and you can mail him a gift card for these people.

What all is wrong with your ride Bobby?That sucks you wont be able to make it. I would be glad to take anybodys donations that I can carry. For those that have no clue where to go, I can meet you at the Princeton Wal-Mart and you can follow me from there. Its gonna be a good ride. Hope to have some snow like we have had in past years. I'll have some spiced eggnog to keep us warm(Evan Williams Egg Nog). Maybe we can talk someone into bringing some apple pie(hint,hint). Looking forward to it.

Steering Rack it's already on order needs a brake switch it don't want to start also needs rings it's smoking and fouling plugs.drive shaft or joints clanging.Tail lights don't work um I'm sure there is more between the money for the parts and James getting time to fix it and Christmas coming up it looks like I'm taking Dec off from riding


I was thinking just a simple gift card from Wal-Mart would be good even if it's $5.00 or $10.00 I'm sure every little bit helps and these folks I'm sure could use it and be something easy to take to them

Sounds like a good time to trade in on a brand new Rzr S or XP. I think you've wore that one out. It could be one of those Merry Christmas to me kinda deals In all honesty the best gift we give those people on the ride is our company. Eugene loves when people stop by just to talk to him. Any gift will be perfectly fine. Or just come for the ride nobody is obligated to bring gifts. Its just something we started doing and it has grown to be a big thing.

I'm wanting to go to this event...I have a two wheel drive van and the roads would have to be clear for me to make it to the unloading zone....

hey guys and gals i went on a pre christmas ride this past weekend and eugine is the only one at his house marrie had a stroke and is in a nursing home, so he is by him self he is 69 years old with a lot of animals mostly dogs, the other house we got last year has mother and father app in their 30s with two daughters app 21 and 18 years old. they have two little ones app 3 and 8 of age, i asked the mother what she wanted for christmas and she said if she could have a wish she would wont laundry detergent, towels and wash rags so that gives you a ideal what it is all about.( ps hope james comes and brings nickie so we wont starve to death ha! ha!) it gives you a good feeling to personaly give the people the gifts so hope a lot of people show up.

will be at hilltop that weekend will try to be there where will they start from

in motoaka i know the area very well

We will be starting from the post office there in matoaka. Parking on the side of the street.

We will be leaving Matoaka around 830 or 9. There is really no where to stop so everybody pack your lunches or whatever else you might need. It will be a all day ride so bring extra gas. It depends on how many people we have go as to how many miles we get in. We usually keep a good pace as long as we don't have problems with people falling behind and that happens with big groups.like I said if any body wants to meet me at walmart in princeton let me know so I know how early to leave.
