DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

Another year down! Hope everyone has a great holiday with the family and friends. Sunday is winter solstice, so the days will start to get longer again and this day is my favorite day of winter! Have fun, be safe and enjoy the holidays.

Thanks, man! You, too! And a Merry Brappmas to all, and to all a good brapp!

We'll be trying a new place to ride in Florida that is /less/ deep sugar sand, but there is of course no way to avoid all of it. Wish us luck!

Anyone have any cool things planned for the holidays?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!

I'm working on a new trail up at the Emmitsburg farm, hopefully another mile or two of fresh trail for the spring.

Trying to figure out riding trips for 2026, something good!

I hope everyone will be getting new riding gear for Christmas and will be ready for more adventures in 2026

Merry Christmas to all!

Another hand surgery is behind me. I am having the motor in my Husky rebuilt with plans on actually throwing a leg over a bike for the first time in a long time.

Grandkid #6 is due in a couple of months. WTF right? DAMN.

Christmas came a couple of weeks early for me!



Now my winter garage project time is all spoken for getting this sorted for all the big rides in 2026!

Bruce, congrats on the pending progeny! I'm expecting #5 myself in January!

Merry Christmas to all y'all!

Brendan and I are planning on doing the dualsport circuit if anyone would like to join us. And he'll be done with marching band so we'll be able to do Hammer Run, finally.

Jay,

I don't know if that's the recruitment video you think it is. You know I'm up for it, but not everyone's as dumb as I am. ;)

Wow! Wes, you are NOT messing around. I look forward to reading some big GS ride reports.
