ATV Dice Run, Sept. 11

Ride went really well. I left before the money was tallied but they were estimating around 5k when you add in the gun raffle, 50/50 drawing, etc. they had going on. Ride was around 40 miles with very little road. Creeks were pretty low and the mud holes weren't too bad at all, being in a drought and all. Last number I heard on total riders was 188, but I know a few people didn't register for the dice run so I'm guessing just short of 200. Couldn't get any pics, my camera keeps coming up with some idiotic error message.

Great cause, good people, beautiful country. 150+ entries. Not very hard and 'way' short.

It is very hard to plan these charity rides because you have riders from little-to-no experience to experts to kids on 50's. I do rides in this same area and there are some very nice trails and back roads to ride, some technical stuff if you have permission to ride, mud and creeks. It is all there, but hard to incorporate in a charity ride. Wish I could have made it to this one. Sounds like it was a huge success. After only 2 years of organizing charity rides I found very quickly that it is impossible to please everyone, so just do what you can and remember it is for charity. Glad you made the trip up to help out a great cause!!
