Yo

Mark your calendars for the weekend of April 16-18th. Shenanigans taking place just 2 hours south of Des Moines. I rode here over Halloween, can't wait to go back.

This from Doug Long, local trail advocate/trail builder extraordinaire:

Mark: Great hearing from ya! You can get general info from the race website but I can fill you in on details. Here we go! We run the race out of CampGrand River on top. We have 7 bunkhouses, Dining Hall, and Rec Hall. You can either camp free or reserve a spot in the bunkhouse. We have a rider special; for $10.00-$15.00 you get two nights bunkhouse lodging, dinner Sat night, and breakfast Sunday morning. Riders start arriving Friday night. We have Blue Grass Music Jam on Saturday night and is open to anyone that wants to join in. We had a great showing last year of musicians and people sitting around the campfire about 30 yards all the way around. We had great weather and an ideal night for it. We put up a big screen and project Bike movies Friday and Saturday. Popcorn popper and brew on site. Two races: 18 mile point to point Saturday (10 mles for beginners) and Cross Country Race Sunday. Separate prizes and payout each day. Come on down and bring your buds and I'll try to get a group to head up your way one weekend.

Jesus loves me......

...strap it on sissies. First road trip to Crowda happening in a couple weeks. Come one, come all. Bring your sack and step up.

E-mail SuperClydesdale with the particulars. Should be a blast. At least 5 Minneapplepussians are gonna be there.

Sean

I got the thumbs up from my lovely bride, so I guess I'm in.

I've got lots of room for passengers and bikes if anyone wants a ride.

Are you gonna make me listen to bluegrass? :fool: :D

I'm going to the Cross Country race on Sunday. Gonna race my Singlespeed. I did the Heartland Series AMBC race March 21 and had a good time.

We're having to back out. If it was a week later, it'd be a go, but other things right now are taking precidence. We'd both LOVE to go though. I'll try to keep the date open for next year when we really WILL have a family to be friendly too!

Just got back from a weekend at Crowder State Park in Missouri, the place rocks. Get down there if you can.

I ended up doing more drinking than riding and we had one broken bone (I'll let DMonkey fill in details on that little adventure), but it was a blast.

Big thanks to SuperClydesdale (the Captain) for setting it up.

Sounds like a good time was had. I'll be anxious to hear the stories. Hopefully the broken bone isn't too serious.??

Well, he had a beer before I took him to the emergency room :D, but it might keep him off the bike for a bit.
