MTDR BOD and all of the LL organizers and volunteers -
YOU ARE THE BEST!
The weather didn't cooperate very well, and STILL it was a successful ride. The measure of success is the hundreds of big smiles all over the place on the faces of folks we don't even know. You worked your buns off to make a great ride happen, and it did happen. I only got to ride one loop on Saturday, but I went home smiling, like this:

. Very Happy . Very Happy . Very Happy . Very Happy . Very Happy . Very Happy .. Very Happy .. Very Happy .. Very Happy . Very Happy . Very Happy .. Very Happy . Very Happy . Very Happy .

Superb leadership, great organization, and never-give-up energy. I can't tell you how proud I am of what MTDR has become.

Well said Slow Jack.

I'm new to the group and was extremely impressed with how well organized the event was and how friendly and helpful that everyone involved was. You guys really worked hard to pull this off and I know that every single person that attended was greatful for it. Even though I'm a newbie, I felt proud all weekend long that I am a member of such a fine organization, so pat yourself on the back because you deserve it.

I had an awsome time riding, hanging out with friends, meeting new friends and can't wait to start bringing my family with me to some of these events when our kids get a little older.

The community fire pit Saturday night was a good time that I'll not soon forget either. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Laughing

Thanks to Bobby and Greg for being gracious enough to take me out (and help me through) the single track on Saturday afternoon. I was totally beat by the time we finished, but I can't wait to get back out there. Maybe next time you guys won't have time to take a nap while waiting for me to catch up. Embarassed

Here's a little bit of video. My buddy, Mark, up from Orlando, was using his helmet camera for the first time.

The trail was a bit sloppy in places.

Thanks to all involved for another great event.

Austin and I finally attended our first MTDR Spring Ride. We had a great time working on the Novice trail with Mr. Satterfield and really enjoyed the riding. Thanks to the entire Board and volunteers and their families for sacrificing their time and efforts to put on such a great event.

My family and I would like to thank each and everyone of you that had anything to do with putting this ride together. We had an awesome time. There's not many places a man can ride his dirt bike, fish (which by the way I caught more fish than Bebout for the first time and I really enjoyed that), and keep the wife and kids happy all at the same time. Stokes, Sanders, and I had a great last run on the single track. Thanks guys we tore it up! I got some great footage of our run on my new GoPro helmet cam (which I somehow managed to delete). You can bet I'll have it figured out by the next ride. Can't wait for some more riding.

Considering having to buy new rotor and brake pads and replacing a radiator gaurd everything went well. I had an absolute blast doing registration with John, Kelly, Mac and the rest of the gang. Gate's kept me entertained ofcourse during soundcheck. Hate that I couldn"t ride with everyone I wished to, but that's usually the case. Thanks to everyone for putting on another great ride.

My apologies to John and the rest who worked registration I had to bail on you at the last minute when I put my mother in the hospital. I bet I missed a fun ride.

Agreed. Gotta take care of Momma!

It was another great ride. Many thanks to all the work by our President Scott Blandford and the BOD! Now you guys take a couple weeks off...

Hey, I just remembered McDonald basically body slamming me and trying to pull my wrist band off when I came out of the trail Saturday evening. It's bad enough dodging trees, but have a gaunlet at the end of the trail waiting on you takes the cake. I still have nightmares of him nashing and bashing me and saying "where's you band-where's your band"

Maybe it wasn't quite that bad.

I didn't see any event tee shirts for sale on Sat. Were there any and if so are they still available? Great ride by the way. Thanks, Shawn

Finially made it to the spring ride after being in the club for over 3 years.I won`t miss another. Even through it rained still had a great time with fraded throttle cable and all. thankfully ktm world had the part. Enjoyed working with the Brewer family on the kids loop friday it was very fun watching the little ones ride. Also saturday working with Satterfield on the novice loop was fun but alot of work. I`ve never pick up that many bikes and dodge that many bikes in my life. Great time look forward to next year. Razz Razz
