Looks like 30-40 people this weekend. Feel free to come on down and join in the fun. Great opportunity to try out other peoples rides on the track, or take your mini or unsuspended and follow the Hard Tail Loop trail ride. Don't let teh minis fool you into thinking its a cake walk trail!

I know the kids are looking forward to this event. They have always enjoyed the 2+ hour hardtail loop ride and there are plenty places for them to cruise around the camp and have a good time in a relaxing atmosphere.











Nice weekend of trails and camping at a great facility, all wrapped up by Sunday's big main event 3 wheeler races at a sanctioned track with a real sanctioned 3 wheeler class!

We have about 40 -50 people turn out. We just got done with a nighttime harescramble ride with about 20 trikes

why does this sort of thing not happen in CA?

[Mosh]

I'm sure you guys could get something going. You just need a group of committed people, and Tim sr would be the guy to talk to. He has been promoting 3 wheeler races for a long time. He could give you some tips to get trikes on the gate.

Great times, Mosh! Final talley was in the upper 50's for total guests. You always bring a great group along. Dan and Karen weres till riding all day Sunday. Lightning sends his appreciation to everyone for coming, reminds you that his place is open 365!

I'll never forget that huge line of headlights coming down the big hill into the valley in the woods sat night. What an awesome sight!

What a great time! Jenny took tons of pics I'll post soon, along with race vids. She missed Jr's wipe out in moto 1.

Was a great time. It rained friday evening and saturday till about mid day, but still did not stop the OTC from having a 50 rider turnout..Hardcore group!. Dan and Karen had a great first trip with the OTC and will be joining the OTC forums to keep abreast of future rides..Although we do not get a 10 page conversation thread anymore on messgae forums, OTC group still continues to grow larger every year with new great members. I guess when you have events every 2 weeks all year, that does not leave much time for posting on forums.. Sam and his wife did a great job on the new OTC shirts..That was a nice gift for everyone!

Hey Mosh, you didnt get a chance to see the custom 3 Wheeler plaques Lightning made for us!

Sorry I was unable to make the B-day Weekend Sr., as the Excursion kick me in the teeth with brake issues. Luckey it was close to home but it threw one pad(but left the backer on the inner rear). After inspecting the rest of the system, it's all being replaced. I thought about taking the dump but $4.10 a gal it's a pig. To boot it greated me with dead batteries(kids/cargo lamp)...I was defeated. I really wanted to join in to catch-up and see everyone off for the off season. Thanks a bunch Tim as this was a spectacular season of racing...I didn't attend like I wished I could have, but loved the ones I did. Happy 51!

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Mary brought a cake for Ashlyn and me since it was both our birthdays. You were missed, and I still kept expecting you to pop in throughout the day.

I'll post pics when I get through the edits of Jenny's pics and vids. I'll just say that we all get to enjoy our plaques by having to look at pic of Flyin' Brian from last year.
