I had a total blast this weekend!
I want to thank everyone who stepped up to help make this one
of the best FG's ever!
For everyone who attended this is what it takes to put on the FG.
Back in February or so Dave puts out the word that we need to get moving.
Who wants to help?
The volunteers start to step forward, emails start to flow.
Ideas get tossed around and we narrow things down.
Jason and Randy start to work on logo's and t-shirt designs.
Hey a special event sticker would be cool, so they work on that.
Gary and Jason S. start to look for sponsors for the Raffle.
Sheri and Ernie Becker propose the Kids Day and start working on that.
Sheri looks for a caterer. (they were great! Thanks!)
We need trails, I get in touch with NEA and reserve private land, Dave has already reserved F & F
the previous fall.
Jim Casagrande digs out his class 6 maps and gets things organized there.
New Trails in Swanzey but they need to be cut, the word goes out and YT'ers step
up and cut some kick-butt intermediate trails.
Now we need trail guides,
Thanks Chris for leading Class 6.
Ernie leads 2 days, Nat and Nate pitch in. Kina and Rick help out, Gary and I
hit the intermediate stuff. Chu, Roscoe and Roger help out people at F & F.
It's mid Sept and the emails are going back and forth, what are we forgetting?
Caterer is set.
Port-potties and a dumpster are needed, insurance is set, t-shirts need to be ordered, do we have enough stickers? Dave is getting nothing done at work because he's trying to get all this done.
Jason Shumate has writers cramp from making out checks.
The registration deadline is here, great now we have the final numbers!
Most of the FG crew shows up at F & F early on Thursday.
Signs are up on the roads and the staging lanes are marked.
Registration table is set up, damn we need waivers somebody run to Staples!
Finally things look great!
Time to have fun!
Randy rolls in with the BBQ!
Junior has the grill set up and is heating dinner.
Time for a fire a few beers and some catching up with friends.
Friday we hit the trails, will everyone like them? The smiles tell us yes!
More campfires, stories from the days runs, doesn't get any better for a Cruiserhead!
Saturdays dinner and raffle! Food was great wasn't it?
Our MC's Jason and Gary did a great job handing out the prizes and kept us all
laughing thru the night.
Can we top it all next year? I think so!
Huge thanks to the staff and all the wheelers who came out and made this
the best event I've been to!!
