I will be out of town so I won't make it for the first time in several years. I'm bummed that I'll miss it. Y'all have fun out there and be safe.

Just got off the phone with the president of Lake Co. SAR. All the motorcycle/off road trails are closed in the National forest. The M6 road that goes through the refuge (Ross's long line) is closed because of washouts. The Elk mt. road out of Upper Lake is closed because of washouts. Pretty much, the only way in is the county road via Potter Valley. So we will be limited to staying on the main M1 road that goes up the front side of Hull. A lot of snow has melted from these couple storms but I would think we will find snow, lots of mud and weather of some kind.

See you at the airport Saturday at 9 am.

 

[woooody]

So... no worries about pin striping this year?

 

[wapitidon]

Not until someone slides off the road on the off camber icy spots while busting through snow drifts. The mud should protect most of any minor pin stripes... Weather looks like we will be wet each day until 9 am Saturday.... then the sun will come out and the wind will kick up... Please leave street tires at home

 

[James H]

Looks like we have to cancel, have to work instead.
Have fun for me.

See you all at Funday at our place this year.
Rock pile is ready and waiting for punishment.

 

[petescoffee]

Won't be there either

Enjoy and take some pictures for the newsletter.

 

[Rolando Moya]

I am bringing tires with more meat and Rear ARB. Hopefully I will be able to make it this year.
