spring ride ideas

I voted for groups on H&M, I didn't mean to vote for H&M trails, but rather to split up in groups if we do ride them. But, I'm not against them at all either. Not only am I confused, but now I've got all you guys confused too.

Some want different trails, and it seems there are alot more intersections on H&M for people who don't keep up to end up making a wrong turn. Those two reasons are why I like the smaller groups idea. It also seems like traffic could get congested with that many machines in one group on H&M.

If we ride H&M, I would be glad to lead a medium paced group that wants to ride mostly blue/black trails. But, I would need to get down there and pre-run the trails to figure out the best ride. (I'm bad for getting to an intersection, and just setting there deciding where to go)

I don't mean to sound like I'm dwelling on this. I'm just thinking out loud.

Your fine hump. I'll start a new thread to vote only in. Vote for outlaw or not then a vote for groups or not. I can see where it's a little grey there.

Just don't start answering youself Bubba....

Bubba brought up some good points, and it goes both ways so preride on say H/M trails for the different groups would help greatly as no more then we ride them it does take a while to look and find the marker sometimes and make the right turn. Also need to stress to all members to do the wait at the intersection on the next rider behind them to help speed up each leg of the rides, this is the biggest time consumer of any group ride. Another idea is to have at least 3 riders in each group with radios, make sure the leader or 2nd rider has radio contact with his group and have radio in middle of group and tail end rider. When group comes to turn or different trail, middle radio rider stays at turn directing where to go and or makes sure end rider knows which way to turn when he comes up on stopped group or break downs.

Well so far its looking like its going to be Outlaw trails is what people want and groups for the heavy days is what people want. Anything is fine with me. I am happy to be there and see my friends. Hopefully I will get stuck so everyone can have some entertainment!

If we dont have too bad of a line saturday or Friday then we may not do groups. It all depends on what Bobby thinks. Either way if we are headed towards groups then we will get things figured out later on. I will start a new thread and everyone can throw out thoughts on how they would like it done and we can try to get it all straightened out.

I don't care what we do as long as I get to ride....If I get bored I'll just fall out and go a different direction.

T-bone...voting is the right way to do this and ya'll are doing a fine job. Your not going to please everybody so let the majority rule.

Ya'll keep up the good work!

I'm good either way, just want to ride & see everyone

i think we should do groups because there going to be alot of other people be side us up there. there will be alot of peple that weekend on the trails we rideand its going to be hard to get um through woods anyway slow or fast just a thought

now we just need to get some more great stuff for the raffle !

Since you two did a great job last time would you two do the ticket sales again and keep up with that?

Bobby...You might want to get somebody else this trip. I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to make the Spring Ride and if I do...I could get a call and have to leave early.

My mother-n-law is fighting cancer and things are still unsure right now.

I hate to hear that ray ray. My prayers are with you and your family.

Thank's T-bone....I don't like telling people I'll do something and then back out. It would be better if Bobby just went ahead and got somebody that will be there for sure.

I nominate T-bone....yeah YOU.......You've got a trusting face....well kinda funny looking anyway! ....just kidding.
