Memorial Weekend

[Trialsaddict]

I know its still a ways off, but I'm thinking of doing a 2 day trip to the Duluth area for some good riding. Mainly Trials, but FR too?

We'll probably leave early Saturday morning, and return Sunday evening. If interested, let me know.

[Trialsaddict]

Is there a possible place a few of us could crash by chance? Or suggestion on cheaper place to stay? :eyeroll:

[Trialsdave]

if you got a warm sleeping bag, Spirit Mt. campground isn't too bad.

That is an option. :crazy:

[Beau]

[Trialsaddict]

I REALLY REALLY hope that we close the shop on sunday. Do places usually close the day before memorial day? and what days will people be riding?

[Trialsaddict]

As of right now, we are planning on coming up on Saturday morning, riding all day til whenever, spending the night somewhere, then ride Sunday. Leaving is up to everyone, but I'm guess I'll head out early evening.

well, I could get up there at 3:30 right after work. Help out a bit then do some riding. how late is everyone staying?

[NewRider]

I'd probably help build. Do we know what time we are leaving on Saturday?

[DM_rider]

Just found out I get off work at 1, so I can come both days :banana:

[Trialsdave]

I might be doing a Friday night and then better part of Sat. Not 100% sure but since I only have a trials bike running right now it dosn't make much sence to ride dh... anyways, anyone up for some urban let me know.

[Trialsaddict]

Speaking of...

I as well will be sticking to the urban scene, and then any rock/boulder areas. Riding all day Saturday is a sure thing.... weather permitting of course.

[Buck]

I plan on being there till sunday aftrnoon...except I am sick as a dog right now...so hopefully I can still make it!

definately head up to spirit. There are some good rock formations that you could mess around on.

[Trialsdave]

So is EVERYONE going to be riding Spirit only or does anyone plan on hitting up anything else at night or whatever?

Like I said I'm game for hitting whatever! There is a kickass sk8 park in Sup-town I would recommend hitting...some cool things in Dtown worth hitting in the daytime.

I'm going to head up early Saturday morning, so I can be in town by noon. Heading to Spirit sounds good, and then migrating to other places throughout the day as well.

I think I'm going to head back Saturday night and do some other riding near the cities Sun-Mon.
I'm happy to car pool from the south metro area if needed. PM me.

[Beau]

I might be there too!:banana:

[Buck]

Won't be able to make it....to sick :sick: ...weekend to chill and recoup.:cool:

nope, please don't build...I'm still a little paranoid with all the time I have in it to let people loose when I am not there(I know lame) But I don't want to see it gone!!! Ride away though, i am working out the calender to get up there again in mid-june. Sorry to those that planned on coming to help, can't seem to get rid of this damn cold and don't want to make it worse...

Sure Adam, take all the credit! :p

If I go, I'll make sure I take all the rocks that are "in the way" and throw them off the trail for you though.......:eyeroll: :scream:

hahahaha, I'm not taking any credit for the building, I've had some awesome help with all the building that has been done, but sitting through countless meetings is what I am talking about!!!

[Kosk]

I will tentatively be going up there the next weekend, June 4th - 5th. We'll see how my trip to Utah this weekend turns out, but that is my plan. So if you guys are itchin' to build, then I will let you know for sure next week if I am going to be up there. I'm in the same boat as Adam, too much time and effort in there already to see something screwed up.

Have fun up there this weekend and replace your divots, peace-out suckas.

[redheat86]

For directions do i just follow mapquest to spirit mtn?

thanks

[DM_rider]

Well, I was just up at spirit tonight checking out trail conditions. We should be good to go as long as the rain holds off tonight! The trails should be pretty dried up by morning and it looks like the rain might hold off. Before you make your way up, check the radar for rain.

I'll be up there at about 1:30.

[Trialsaddict]

Sounds like a plan.

We'll be driving up in the morning, plan to be there by noon. Weather permitting. I'm assuming we are meeting at the main entrance area of Spirit? Anyone that has a specific place to park/meet, please post.

[DM_rider]

How many guys are you coming up with? I'm not sure if anyone that knows the trail will be there at noon, I could be wrong though. You can just park in the main lot in front of the chalets. Once you cross the bridge, go left. Follow the road until you come to another split, go left again. Follow that road to the chalet, just park in the lot there. I'll get up there as fast as I can, should be around 1:30

[Trialsaddict]

There will be one other rider with me, but I'm meeting the guys from St. Cloud there too. We will be doing trials stuff anyways, so no hurry. We're there for the big rocks/boulders.

If anyone is looking for us during the day, call: 952-240-7519

[DM_rider]

yup!

when you get to the split right after the bridge going across the train tracks, go left. Then follow the road until the next split. Don't go straight, vere off to the left. Follow the road all the way to the main chalets and park in that lot. What time are you thiking you'll get there?

[Trialsaddict]

We decided to keep things on for today. The rain looks thin, so hope it holds off.

See y'all there.

are you going to be riding at spirit? or are you watching the trials? I guess the lifts are open to bikers, at least that's what I heard.

Building, I need to finish up the trail so we can move on to mapping the FR trail, but yeah I'll be getting some riding in for sure and bust out the camera gear to film some trials!

yeah, that'd be nice to get the trail done. I can be there at around 1:30 on saturday, and all day Sunday.

[NewRider]

Possible up for going up and doing some downhill on Saturday. I can't ride Sunday because of a race.
