I will be making a day trip out to Uwharrie on the day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday). Anyone is welcome to come along (this is not an ONSC trip). We will probably meet at the Outpost at 8:30 and head to the trails by 9:00. I plan to be back in the Triangle for dinner, so probably head to the Outpost by 3:30 for the return home.

I'm not sure what trails we'll be running yet, because it depends on the group. I would like to target trails like Slab Pile, Saw Mill, and Rocky Mount.

Post up if you are interested in coming.
 
Clint, I am a definite for this one, let me know where/when to meet for the Raleigh-area caravan. And I am down for running any of the trails...........

Cool. I'll touch base with you later, but it seems to work out well to meet at the Mobil mart on 64 near Lake Jordan.

Count me in. Should be the first ride for the new rig.

Great. See you then...
 
I'm a strong "maybe", won't know for sure until the in-laws arrive for the weekend. Regina is on a round-the-world business trip, returning on Wed before Thanksgiving. She will be pretty trashed for the holiday weekend so I may have to entertain her parents (oh, the joy of that).

Yet, it might be a good day to break the 80's cherry on some trails. I could drag my father-in-law out there, give him a fishing pole and point him toward the lake. It would be a great excuse to get out of the rat race of the pre-Xmas fervor of good ole Cary...
 
I'm not taking my rig out till I work a few kinks out but Andrea and I might drive out and ride with someone if there is room.

We will see how I feel about my rig...if I have it you can ride with me...if I don't well we can all ride with someone else :D...trying to talk the wife into letting me take hers if mine is no good but she says she likes the running boards on her rig just fine..not to mention I still have to order the transfer case switch in order to fix the CDL and lockers.

EDIT: I'm for sure now. Just passed inspection and learned how to stop the death wobble that occurs every 3 miles....just yank the steering wheel really hard to either side and it stops it :)...see you all there but Deirdre is making me leave eary so I get back in the light so we can get a X-mas tree.

I might be able to make it out. Will probably just be me and Tori if I come, so folks can ride with me. No promises yet though.
 
That might work for me also, the :princess: is on call at the hospital on Black Friday. If I can chase a few gremlins down on the 80, I'll be there;)
 
I just realized that this was for friday. I'm out I have to work.

That's sorta my reason for going. We have friends visiting for Thanksgiving and Stacy asked if I could take them out to URE while she and her friend could decorate and hang out (aka shop). Can't pass up being asked to go to URE! :cool:

Post up when we get closer and you have a better idea if you can make it. FYI, Clint and another boy will be riding with me, so there will be other kids along. I'll have to ask Carly if she wants to go or stay with Stacy.

In case you don't get the gremlins dealt with, you can park at my place and catch a ride out with me, Joe, or whoever.

Sorry Al, hope to see you the next weekend though...

Looks like It should be good, starter was giving me the clicky-clicky sass the last few days, was afraid I would have to order a new one and replace:frown: The starter gear wasn't retracting all the way, so little brass hammer and PB Blaster action and it's all better:grinpimp:

Let me know when you are heading out, I'll swing thru your hood or some other link up place in Apex and caravan down with ya. I guess I gotta put the MTs back on.
 
Might be able to make it out, depends on when I have to head back to ILM..
I'll let you know as it gets closer, but for not it's a strong maybe.
It'll be just me and Haley so i'll have the back open, if need be.

Tentatively plan to meet at the Mobil mart on 64, East of Lake Jordan at 7am. That should put us at the Outpost by 8:30.

ILM? Hope you can make it, if not we'll be back there the next weekend. If you can make it, I'll PM you to exchange contact info.
 
I'll be down in ILM on Friday, not sure when I'm coming back to RDU, but I fly to CPH on Saturday! ;) Just to throw airport codes around!
 
Quick head count...
Definite:
Clint, Joe, Jason, Alex, Mihai, Brett, Nick, Bill

Maybe:
Jerry

For Triangle folks, we can meet at the Mobil Lake Mart (64 and Fearrington, E of Jordan Lake) at 7am. For the other folks we can meet at the Outpost at 8:30am. I'll PM everyone for phone numbers in case anyone is running late or plans change last minute.

FWIW, I'll probably bring lunch, but anyone is of course welcome to grab lunch at the Outpost (should be open?). Not a big deal either way.
