Plus I don't want to have to worry about dealing with injuries on my honeymoon.

Yea dude that would be terrible.  I know someone who recently got married and broke his leg a week before the wedding.  They weren't able to go on their honeymoon (lost all the money because they took out no insurance on it), and lets just say the Mrs. was not thrilled.  Not the best way to start a marriage.

Is it 4 clinics, like the last one? Just trying to figure out which one to tag along on.

Good question, we are sorting it out now and hope to have it all figured out by tommorow. It will probably be the same sort of format.

At least a beginner, intermediate/expert, and a girls ride. The girls ride will be beginner to intermediate. If you're a total newbie and you happened to be a girl you may be better in the beginner group.

Also worth noting this update if it has not been announced yet. We have secured Jan to cook for the post ride BBQ. Jan is a BBQ champion and his food is no joke. BBQ is for supporting members only. If you have not joined up yet there will be forms available. Good times.

Not "beginner" because there really aren't any "beginner" areas at Wiss.  More of an "Intro to Wiss" ride to show off the less technical areas.

Absolutely, getting back to riding, beginning to ride the Wiss. for the 1st time.  Wiss. has no novice dept.

There's been a slight change: Our girl ride will also welcome "intro" riders as well as beginner and intermediate. This means it is an all levels ride.

You're welcome. Thanks so much to all who came out.

Special thanks to those who helped lead rides and to Jan for the awesome pulled pork.

It was a pleasure, and it get's easier each time so we'll do it again I'm sure. Too bad about the rain but we made the best of it. Good times.

Good times by all!! Thanks to PMBA and the board for having another kick ass event. I didn't even mind the rain and slop. The wife wasn't too keen on the dirt I dragged into the house, but that's waht we have dust pans for  Grin

I'd be interested in an advance clinic for TTF's over at Belmont next time around?

The young lady busted her finger on that log which was sticking out somewhere and had caught others in the past. Some trail fairies took revenge.

Wow. Do I ever shut up! I notice my rating has changed from addict to Jedi. When do I get my Light Saber? Could come in handy when cutting log rides.
