Dirt Dad, you can put the Fab Baker Bros down for 5 riders for sure, maybe more depending on sunshine level. We won't be coming in until Sat evening as we are planning to camp on top of NorthFork Friday night and ride one of your dirt routes Saturday to get to Romney (Hardcore Dirt unless you advise different). I'm no longer on the Tenure as I adopted Africa Twins. They aren't as strong as the Yamadude, but listen better. Bro Ray is on a Beamer F800 GS and we have a few KLR's and Vstroms in tow. If you see us out an about Saturday give us a beep. I look forward to seeing you & everyone at this awesome event. Thanks to you and your crews creative organizational skills and the folks at Romney for giving us strangers a place to hangout with our like minded friends and friends to be.

Outstanding! Would not be the same without the Baker Bros...sorry, I mean the Fabulous Baker Brothers. I can hear you calling across the parking lot already. ::008::

Not sure how the Hardcore Dirt route will be this year. The only true challenging part of it is the Canyon Ridge/Douglas Road. Some years it's tame, others it's pretty muddy. It was not a very harsh winter this year, so my guess is it may be more on the tame side...I stress that I'm guessing. A more challenging ride (and longer) is the Mountains and Mud. The mud part comes from the Canyon Ridge portion. It's all good. Glad you are going to make it.

LAST ORDERS FOR SHIRTS WOULD BE TONIGHT. I need to get counts to InHouseBob in the morning.


As usual, there are a couple of you who said you want one and haven't paid, so I've sent you messages.
Like the Chinese laundry says:"No money - No laundly"


Details are earlier in the thread if interested.

We are NOT yet closing the spots which are still open for the Friday and Saturday ADV bike classes with Alain of Xplor-Int. He does have openings on both days, with more on Saturday.

Because he is trying to support the charity, Alain is again waiving his normal class fee and only charging $100 for the day!!! (Plus whatever you want to kick in for the charity.)
For those not aware of what a steal this is, the much more basic BMW 4 hour clinics are $325 and their very similar one-day clinics are $635.

If you are new to off-road, rusty, or nervous, this class is for you! Got a newbie-friend or spousal unit? They could take it on Friday and ride more confidently with the groups on Saturday and Sunday.

Alain starts it off on grass with setting up the bike, basic concepts, and easy stuff, so no worries about dropping your toy.





He then steps it up with some local dirt lanes we've picked out, with hillsides, slippery areas, minor obstacles, etc.



And the group ends with a nice ride on back roads which are a mix of dirt and mud.





Sign up forms are here:

The In Case of Emergency (ICE) forms are available on Romney Cycle's Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/RomneyCycles/photos/gm.292359114534864/10154544883483061/?type=3&theater


After an accident a few years ago, we came up with these and ask all attendees to have one in their chest pocket (or there abouts). If you're unconscious, the folks you are with will know how to call and be able to tell the EMS services more than:


"All we know is his avatar name - ButtKiss."
???
We'll have a stack on-site, but it'd be good if you already have at least one when you come. btw - If you print this on both sides of a piece of paper, it can be cut in the middle to make two half-page documents.

There's always a grown up. Logical. Responsible.

But so dang sobering.
