I'll be there as long as I am not traveling for work. Which bike should I bring? The 1150 GS or the KTM 625?

sxc would rock... I miss mine :(

It looks like Green Ridge is down until March 27th - We have had a lot of wind this year. You DAMN guys are close to one of the best back country dinners when you are at Green Ridge. Good food and they have an ice cream stand outside [They close the icea cream stand in the winter, I will find out when it is opening if you guys are interested.]
It is a 20-30 minute ride on back roads - bikes will need tags for the commute.

Unless you're one of those Real Men(TM) who can muscle a GS through thick rocks, bring the KTM. However, there is a LOT of nice gravel roads around as well. I vote for the KTM.

Bring 'em both!!

Thanks for the info... I'm planning on going up to GR on the 29th to check on the ORV - or if nothing else to hit some of the surrounding roads.. It's a intro ride on the XR to work out any changes to the setup... I will confirm whether or not it's open .... and good food nearby sounds like a plan

Getting close...any actual planing being done?

I'm shooting for a lunchtime Friday arrival, me and JR. We could get the other site...63?

How about a thread starting a list of attendees? Bikes? Schedule? Porta pot?


And Ken what about this?
"I'm thinking we should add a slow race and a GPS geo-cache event. For the geo-cache event, we could provide GPS coordinates and clues for buried bottles of booze."
