Greenwood Lake NY ice racing

[riverrat]

mmmm, wonder what the track looks like, we had rain all day, and now it's 36. I hope the top freezes, then we can go for longer rides.

Well it was pretty slick, but we managed a few laps which was good for Chris and Tom who needed to test their bikes. we all got wet, lol. The super highway is a lake. More snow this week. Just sucks. The whole lake got soaked, and we could probably ride the whole lake if it didn't snow. It's like a giant slush pit right now.

This weekend lookin to be shaping up good! I think we will be able to ride the whole lake, and the track will be mint on Sat morning, sloppy later on in the day, then good again Sunday morn. I won't be able to get out until 11:30 Sunday though, at least I'll get a few laps in until 1 or so. Looks like a few coming already.

The stupid kick starter in my 200X is no good, I have to take the complete motor apart again.....

Went out to check the ice today....it's ice lol. J/k, the track is absolutely perfect, except for the hard as a rock berms now (berms are about a foot high), and we can ride across the whole lake. A bit bumpy, but I think this weekend will be as good as it gets. I'm thinking giant bon-fire on the ice and beer after some cruising and laps. SAT. We should do hot dogs and stuff.

I can do that. Saturday is always a busy day since Emily has soccer until 2pm but its staying light kind of late. I feel bad she hasn't gotten out on her quad yet so maybe we'll hang out Saturday evening? Let me know what to bring and I'm there. Going to PA to hit some snowmobile trails on Sunday so I gotta take it easy on the beers.

Sounds good. I'll gather the wood, and at sunset we'll light it up. We can play around close to the beach on the mini's. The track is absolutely awesome right now. And you can ride across the lake no problem, but not wide open, a bit bumpy. You can pick spots to open it up.
A bunch of motorcycle guys ripped up the track today, and me and my buddy on his quad. It's still in great shape, very fast.
Can you bring the dogs if I get the wood? BYOB. I'm just having a few, I have a long Sunday after that.

[JohnR.]

Sure. I can do that. I'm off tomorrow and would hang out if you're around but I have a bunch of running around to do.

[riverrat]

If my day goes smooth, I could do some laps in the afternoon. Gotto fix my bike though, almost lost a wheel, and oblonged the lug holes.

[riverrat]

Bahahahaha!!!

My wife turned this weekend into a mess and told me never to come back if I went to GWL this weekend, so I will not be out there with you guys. You guys don't know how lucky you are. I've got the 85R started and she's got flat track tire on her now. I guess I'll break her in on the back road.

[riverrat]

Chris, I feel your pain, but it's ok, you got a great family and kids, don't sweat it. Family comes first! I was the only 3 wheeler out there today, I did my best to represent. a few ppl commented how fast I was. I past a few 450's today. We did a giant bon-fire and bbq, good times. The track was smokin, they tore it up pretty good today. Gary got his hero cam, and hopefully got some good shots.
