Rush Off Road May 3-5: Trail-Work Run

[Smiddy24]

This is our first trip to Rush Off Road this year. This trip will consist of doing some trail clearing/clean-up for a few hours on Saturday, then the rest of day/weekend we will have some fun!

For members: In order to be in the drawing for the Rush yearly pass (2020), you must either help work on the trail or carry a garbage bag and pick up trash for those few hours.

I'll be starting a list of who will be attending. Hoping we get good weather!

Going:
Kevin O'Bryan (93Krawler)
Zach Ferriman (liftedlongarmzj)
Robert Hull (WrenchMonkey) - Coming Saturday or Sunday?
Jeff Smith (JeepmanJeff)
Zach Smith (Smiddy24)
Brad Bean (blazerbrad) - Coming Saturday afternoon?

[Smiddy24]

Robert Hull from Facebook - “As an added bonus, the Club will be buying Rush tees for all paid Members in attendance! (Cause nobody wants to see you fat bastards with your shirt off...)”

Right now... It's looking like a light shower of rain on Friday, no rain on Saturday. I can't see Sunday's forecast.

But it's still early and the weather people are usually wrong anyways :laughing:

[WrenchMonkey]

Wunderground says rain Friday morning and Saturday afternoon, but yeah, it's all a guess at this point...

Did we ever decide what we want to work on?

Do you have an address

[WrenchMonkey]

Do you have an address

888 Eastgate North Rd, 45245. At 32 and GlenEste Withamsville, just outside I275.

If you're coming down from Wilmington, you'd do better to just meet them in Mt Orab somewhere...

[Smiddy24]

Looks like I have a mandatory meeting I have to attend on Friday (in office). It's from 8:30am-10am. So I prolly won't get home until 10:30ish. So we should be able to make it there by 11:45am.. that's if my dad doesn't have any meetings that pop up.

If there is somewhere in MT Orab that would be great if not I can meet everyone at the park not a big deal

Isn't there a Marathon gas station out that way? We usually fill up there.

Lol it probably won't even rain. You never know with these stupid forecasters..

[blazerbrad]

What is the plan for Sunday? If I do come wouldn't be able to get down there until Saturday afternoon and would want to ride a decent amount on Sunday to make it worth the drive.

I'm sure we would do some riding on Sunday. Which Sunday looks to be the best day in the forecast

[93 Krawler]

Yeah that's prolly the same for us. Tonight I'm working on getting my windshield/top mounted... Just incase it does rain.

[WrenchMonkey]

Any thoughts on moving the trail work to Sunday morning instead? I hate to be that guy, running a chainsaw in a thunderstorm seems dumb...

Sunday looks like a day of sun. And mud...

[Smiddy24]

Kevin you’ll have the truck done by Harlan.. we’ll pull all nighters if we have to on the 2 weekends..

Lol so what are we doing? Working the trails Saturday morning... or Sunday? It doesn’t matter to me.

We can watch the forecast and see if it changes, but I vote Sunday.

I'm burning through a whole lot of pto this year, I hate to use a whole day to go camp in the rain...

Maybe. Or maybe Saturday night if the rain moves out. Maybe earlier. Probably watch the weather and play it by ear.

Dang, that's a long trip down for just one day. But I'm hoping that the forecasters are wrong.

[Smiddy24]

Is Jim Busch still coming? Looks like we may only have 5-6 people. I highly doubt Mark Troxell is coming because of the weather... So I removed him from the list.

[93 Krawler]

Busch is out.

...leave our house at 10:30-45am takes us about an hour to get to that meijer. Then we have to fill up for gas.

Meijer (in eastgate, not batavia) is about 25 minutes from the Mt Orab Kroger.

So, leave Meijer about 12, Kroger about 1230.

You guys should all exchange phone numbers beforehand...
