Cancelled due to weather

I'm sorry to announce that we are cancelling the campout.  The weather just isn't cooperating for any outdoor activities tonight or tomorrow. 
This has always been such a fun time, we might just have to reschedule for the spring and not wait until next fall.


Do not miss this event!!  

OK, here's the lowdown.  We Ride at Saw Wee Kee during the day and the following morning and camp over night at the adjoining campground Hidden Lakes Campground.  Bring your tent, bike and some food and beverages.  Definitely bring your nite-rider setup and a full battery.  It might come in handy for setting up your tent and looking for stuff in the dark

And.... (drumroll please)....... Red Bull will be bringing out the MXT truck/PA/portable mult-media center/DJ turntable and will be showing Red Bull Elevation the newest movie from Red Bull along with other killer Red Bull movies on the MXT's dual 42" screens.  Along with the movies Red Bull will be bringing lots of tasty Red Bull to drink all night to keep us wired until the sun comes up.  

Should be a GREAT time, see you fools out there...

Last I saw said the rain would stop early Saturday. Seeing how the place soaks up water fast, it could be good for the overnighter.

Yeah man, we'll be straight. 

What other details you fellers got though?  What's the food/booze situation?  Basically, what should I be bringing other than bike and camping gear?

Also, what's the female situation?  Kev, you said Donina's comin' right?  Are there any rides planned for the beginners?  I was planning to bring the lady and the pup; would be cool for Cat to have either people to ride with while we're rippin' the good shit or at least a couple trails I could hit with her (don't know the place that well).

Thanks for the info's, lookin' forward to this for sure.

Food we got! But if a little extra shows up it'll certainly find a stomach to give it a home. Drinks are BYO.
