I can also use the time to pack my house, and Roger has some buyers for his house he's been trying to sell for a year he needs to work with on Saturday.

Isn't that something? :roll: Indeed, this ride was not meant to happen this year.

Is Wild Alaskan still planning to race the event? Let's plan a China Riders Northwest Ride!

I'm all over that! I have more vacation time available to me.

SpudRider · 03-30-2012, 01:09 AM

Let's start think about where we want to go! If you guys like, I will start a new thread, here in the Ride Suggestions Forum.

It will probably take me a year to get settle enough for another bike. Maybe I can haul it up my kei truck. 8O

Weldangrind · 03-30-2012, 02:17 PM

One of us might have a buddy bike for you.

FastDoc · 03-30-2012, 02:36 PM

That's what I was thinking!

We're getting rained on today and tomorrow.

Our usually ANNUAL rainfall average here is 7.5 inches for the whole freakin' year. We're getting an inch today and tomorrow. Temps way below normal. More heavy snow in the Cascades.

Last year's run was 70's and sunny, light winds if any at all. That's normal. This year it is what it is. We'll get together soon, God willing.

We were wise to scrub this time though. The drive from BC over Snoqualmie or from ID over Meachum would be a snowbound mess.

Please pass on my regards to Al Gore. :evil:

I don't require much. Not a highly skilled off-road rider so something tame. Might be able to fly in. It would be 1200 miles from SE Kansas to Spudland.

Weldangrind · 03-30-2012, 02:43 PM

If you're flying, then perhaps we could meet in Docville. It would be a much easier drive for the BC boys.

I'm glad to hear that aborting the mission was a good idea. My back is much better today, so I'll use this opportunity for some shop time.

Never been to Washington. I am sure the ticket prices are the same.

Son of Weldangrind and I can make it there in six hours with a trailer full of bikes.

FastDoc · 03-30-2012, 03:17 PM

I just got a text from my friend Julian who is in Odessa now with his YZ400F. Says it's pouring and muddy, and there are still hundreds or thousands of people out there camping and riding.

Gotta be Canadians. Tough breed those.

He called me a pussy. 8O

I'm warm, dry, and safe.

I can live with that for the moment. :wink:

katoranger · 03-30-2012, 03:29 PM

Gideon is probably happy that you are home too.

My goodness; you can drive to DocLand faster than I! 8O

If Stew plans to join us, Idaho is probably much closer to him than Washington.

Weld could always ride to DocLand, then travel with Doc to Idaho.

Allen can ride the Zong if we meet in Idaho.
