"Ride Out The Darkness" Memorial Ride for Bekah- 10/29 -FRO Burma

[Erin D]

I'm going to try and make this. Had a GREAT time at FRO (first time) at last year's Dirty Santa Toy Run.

Sweet! And I havent had a chance to do Dirty Santa, hopefully this year though. Sounds like it will be at Locust Gap instead of Darkwater possibly, they bulldozed a large part of the single track loop there :\

I’ll try to make this also. Had a blast on the green loop near the entrance Laoch pointed out to me. Hope I can remember it. Do we have to show up that Saturday? Or can we drive up Friday evening

Ohhhh is that Chappys section of Single track, with the orange paint blazes across the street from the parking lot? We found that Saturday and it was a really nice loop.

Im not sure on the camping situation, typically FRO does not allow camping but I am checking with Andy who is organizing the entire event and can let you know :)

Erin thanks for posting here.
I signed up and stocked up on raffle tickets, ready to win all the cool SWAG items being offered by the cycling community.
So much positive energy in the Del Val group, such a shame to have lost a team member far to soon.
I think they will have a food truck available also.
I reached out to Steph of On The PEGS to see if she can work this event into her schedule to attend, take pictures and do a post on a topic many do not see as a real issue but it is.....come taking in a day of riding, make new friends and see old friends.
Have to dig out my DAMN jersey to be representing.

Awesome Mike thanks so much for all of the help :) The off road community is amazingly considerate and generous, I am just blown away with the response so far. Bekah's story resonates with so many people who have also lost loved ones to suicide.

How cool would that be for Steph to come out?? That would be fantastic and I hope she can make it! Will be great to see you again :D We are going to pop around on our little bikes again this afternoon!

Definitely not single track lol. More like Jeep trails, goes along the coal mines mounds etc. Laoch would know, I enjoyed it though. A lil faster pace with just enough rocks and wash outs to keep it interesting. I don’t know what I said or did but single track does not like me.

Sonny stop bringing a tank to a knife fight. Knock the dust off your cheater Beta trials bike (cheater = has seat) and ride anything you want.

Some of the single track did not like me Saturday either, I bit it pretty well on an angled log Thats where Mike's trials skills are coming in to save me from myself!

I went maybe 1 mile on so called cheater bike on a ST and felt like I was riding for 2 hrs or something. not for me man, I like the cool breeze blowing thru my helmet when I ride. Somebody’s gotta do it Mike
Definitely bringing several bikes this time, had a blast at Dirty Santa

If you guys get a chance, try to make one of Bucho's day rides. Not just the laid back ride but it also sits on very nice property. Not much else to say about Mike, I suppose I should be paying more attention sorry Mike

[Erin D]

Heya we hope to :) I think they are pretty close to us in Cascade, MD?

If you can spare a couple hours, come over on Wed. Looks like it will just be John and I.
