everybody bring your favorite beverage

I'll bring the grill and 5G water

we can go out and buy something to grill for dinner when we get there since there are so few of us.
Nearest vittles store is about 25-30 minutes one way-just saying. I'm down for bringing chow.

I have a spare one I can lend you, IF you have a resettable trip? Without that, won't matter..............
I do have a resettable trip and a um....a mount thing...ram ball. Is that what I need? I've never done a roll chart before and I'd like to learn. Except the cutting and taping and rolling part :lol2:

I got busy and didn't realize I needed one.

No worries. I'll print out another one and load it on there. All you will need to do is install it with a flat blade screw driver. It mounts with a stainless steel hose clamp around your handle bar. I'll come find you guys at the camp site after tech around 7-7:30. I assume you guys will try to get on the back side of the parking lot like you did last year................

[quote="Firebolter"] You guys got the email with the route sheets and all? [/quote]

Well I did get an email with route instructions and Option descriptions.

HOWEVER, it didn't seem quite right! I didn't see the special DAMN Option early on where KYLER LEADS US ALL UP THE STEEP ROCKY SINGLE TRACK HILL CLIMB UNTIL WE ALL (ONE BY ONE) CRASH AND GET PINNED UNDER OUR BIKES AND THEN HAVE TO TURN THEM AROUND AND BULL DOG THEM BACK DOWN THE SAME TRAIL! :nono: :nono: :nono: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Lunch: Lunch is back at the Start/Finish parking lot again this year. There will be a mandatory hand washing
station prior to lunch. There were some that experienced gastrointestinal issues last year. We were never able to
definitively ascertain why this occurred, however, we would like to make certain it never happens again.

I didn't get sick last year. Wash those dirty hands boyz!
I think this was left in from last years form. After the ride in 09' there was a whole bunch of people who got really sick, including myself. Nasty bug hit probably like 50% of the riders. There was a whole list of people on ADV and other sites. I don't think there were any problems last year.
