    Trikefest 2017- The real story (not much has changed)

    I have been hearing a lot of things and stories from people, so I called up there and talked to John, the new manager for about 20 minutes this morning as well as someone else on staff. There are 2 big things;


    Haspin Acres has instituted a no night riding rule between the hours of 10pm and 6am. This especially applies to the campground area in the front, and does include campsite to campsite riding in those hours. If your bike is loud enough to be heard up at the office from the campground, or you are ripping around in the area then it could be problematic. If you have a quiet bike that isn't annoying as , you can ride camp site to campsite. If you were out in the woods after 10pm and come back in, you will not be permitted to go back out. But you wont be in trouble for being out, and coming back in. Just don't attempt to go out, after 10pm. Because the weekends are busier, they have hired Laurel police to help enforce this on the weekends.


    Great news is; riding down the hill to the river to swim IS STILL PERMITTED. All machines must be kept out of the river and river bed though, and cannot cross into town or travel the government roads. There was some conflicting information on this last year and recently, and I asked this several times to clarify. So we're still good on that front.

    Rumors of everything else going on or different is apparently just that, rumors. They will still prep the tracks and accommodate us as best as they can. Glenn is still there running equipment as well.

    They're also in the process of building up some dedicated RV camp sites along that pond that may have some hook ups eventually. They have been getting pounded with rain and he wasn't sure if they would be finished by the time we get there.


    They have had a ration of thefts, accidents, and property damage and the night time riding rule is to help curb that as well as provide time for people camping to have some dedicated quiet time. We understand that this is a departure from previous years but we ask that everyone be mindful of Haspin's request and do their best to spread the word and abide by their rules.

    After having watched everything unfold the way it did last year I would like to add two small things.

    Take your friggin time going up and down the hill to and from the river!!! There is a sharp, blind corner on the driveway and people will be traveling in and out of the park at all times!!! There are race tracks provided INSIDE THE GATE.

    Always, always, always have a helmet on, always. Even site to site. We had a rash of people last year who thought the rules didn't apply to them and they ended up in the hospital while simultaneously costing us liberties! If you see someone riding a three wheeler without a helmet, by all means do not be shy and correct them please!

    Thank you.

    This is good news! I was worried things were going to dramatically change and TF wouldn't be at all what it used to be. I totally agree with what Fabio said about helmets and trash! We had to have what was turning into a strongly worded conversation with somebody last year about not wearing a helmet! It makes us all look bad when 1 person on a trike isn't following a well known and simple rule! Trash is VERY easy to get rid of also! There are plenty trash cans and if there isn't one at your camp, take trash bags and drop it off at the dumpster. When the front end loader comes around camp, be courteous and help load YOUR trash into it if you are at your camp! Lil things like that go a LONG way with helping TF survive.

    The shirt order has been placed, how ever I haven't got the shirts yet. They normally get here a week or so before Trikefest. Send me the shirt size (s) and I will see what I can do.

    Howdy

    To all: I quietly ordered a few extra TF16 shirts and a couple hoodies. Limited quanities if anyone is interested. First come first serve.

    Andy..I don't know or have the answer to that yet I'm hopefully that maybe while we're there something can be talked to and worked out with John, but it may be a matter of just shutting it down earlier and not running quite so late into the night. We will have to play that one by ear.
