2012 Annual Michaux Dual Sport - Aug 12th

[Gene-TW200]

WF I got a few tents , but was planning to trailer up ride and on saturday and socialize till 10pm or so then just ride to the hotel in the truck and leave the trailer and bike at Big Flats till sunday. I really just plain enjoy a good hot shower after a good days ride and a nice A/C'ed room to crash in . Since the wife will be out of town visiting our daughter I really have no excuse not to come up for the day and evening activities .

Ok, I am in. Riding the 950. Looking to finish alive. Pointers?

IMHO, it's a fairly benign DS. At least 50-60% gravel roads (probably more).
I think the most challenging section is up at the breakfast stop-it's optional. I'm not sure if they use the same course every year. Last year it was wet in the beginning and the end, good fun.

I guess so, if you stay off of the options. I recall an option that might be tough

Welcome to the group! Just look for the DAMN jerseys. Are you coming up Saturday?

[phoo]

My right big toe still isn't right after the breakfast option, which is a mini-enduro. The goal there isn't to be the fastest, it's to be the closest to the average time. But I wiped on some wet rocks under some leaves I couldn't see.

Awesome (??). I'm the first hit on google.

Yep, sleeping in the bed of my truck. There are usually 5 or 6 guys I ride with. Some of them just wont do this ride because it is too hot. Two guys were supposed to be coming with me but one bailed due to mechanical trouble, other busted up his knee.

Excellent!

and club? well, maybe loose cluster of dirt bike riding scum-bags might be more accurate

I've started a Saturday night food list on the first post - post here what you are bringing and I'll update it.

[BillyGoat]

I still don't have a DAMN jersey.....just sayin'

[GearedUp]

OK I should be there by 6pm on saturday. If we are still doing the group dinner is there anything I can bring? I'll be bringing my camper so if there is space near you guys save me a spot.
