Memorial weekend day trip

WrenchMonkey · 05-14-2013, 10:32 PM

A few of us aren't gonna make the Shine Run, and are planning on a day trip to DTOR on Sunday instead...

In for sure:
Robert - WrenchMonkey
Nick - Coppertop
Jeff - TJRider
Brian - Jeff's Virgin
Chris - GotHodgie
Joey - XJJoey
Gary - CincyGman
Camden - BlackCJ
SonnyBob
NoMods

Maybe:
Tom - ComancheDude

Out:
JeffK5
Underpowered
Tony - BrokeAgain
Craig - Elmer91

Park opens at nine. If we convoy, we can meet at the Union KY reststop (MM177) about 8.

I might be in... I just need to get the transfer case swapped in my truck...

itbrokeagain · 05-14-2013, 11:19 PM

Gimme details. I would like to be in

WrenchMonkey · 05-14-2013, 11:30 PM

No details yet. My niece has been begging to ride along, and I'm waiting to see which day is best...

JeffK5 · 05-15-2013, 12:02 AM

They've got a SXS race on Sat.25.

I was looking for a place to ride on Memorial Day but DTOR is cramped enough and a holiday + race might = suck.

elmer91 · 05-15-2013, 12:22 AM

I might be in. I was thinking about heading to 491 since it is really close to me, or going and trying out Horseshoe Bend.

cincygman · 05-15-2013, 09:04 AM

Isn't just about anything slammed that weekend?

Yeah, I saw that too, and thought the same.

Everybody wanna plan on Sunday?

"Sat. June8th: Fishers ATV World will be AT DTOR, plus SRRS and DTOR will be hosting our first SXS HILL CLIMB. Get those sxs's ready for the camera. We are going to postpone the may 25th woods race until july 20th for rotd and use the June 8th hill climb as part of the series"

Straight from the DTOR facebook page. looks like there is not gonna be a race saturday the 25th as it was postponed.

WrenchMonkey · 05-15-2013, 07:27 PM

Thanks for the heads-up! So Saturday is an option.

I'm good either way, Saturday or Sunday.

Anybody else have a preference?

Robert

tjrider · 05-15-2013, 07:32 PM

I'm in. DTOR!!!!

WrenchMonkey · 05-15-2013, 10:29 PM

Cool!

Nobody cares if it's Saturday or Sunday?

Hodgie, would the extra day help for the t-case?

gothodgie · 05-16-2013, 12:37 AM

Won't really make a difference with getting the tcase in... I think Sunday would be a better for me, but really doesn't matter...

cincygman · 05-16-2013, 08:43 AM

Hey everybody, TJrider really wants to go to DTOR!
Jeff, we will spend as much time driving there and back as it takes to cover the whole park.....

To just see the whole park, maybe. It is fairly small, less than 300 acres. Half the size of Haspin.

But he has got some pretty gnarly terrain and a lot of pretty serious hillclimbs. To actually try n run them all, especially with the size group we may have, would likely take a week.

X2 It may be a small park, but there are tons of trails packed in it with some pretty serious stuff.

IMO, you could cover all of haspin in the same time it would take to cover DTOR even though it is half the size.

comanchedude · 05-16-2013, 08:01 PM

guys....you should have figured out by now size don't matter!

Now what day we wheeling?

itbrokeagain · 05-16-2013, 10:44 PM

Where is dtor?

Between Bedford and Carrolton, KY. About halfway to loo-vul.

Side note for those heading down:

Don't go through Carrolton. KY36 is apparently closed just west of town due to construction on the bridge over Locust Creek.

Take I-71 down to 421. Back up to 42 and 3176.

BlackCJ · 05-17-2013, 12:07 AM

I might be able to make if you end up going on Sunday

WrenchMonkey · 05-17-2013, 01:11 AM

Okay, that's two votes for Sunday. Now we're getting somewhere!

Last chance for Saturday votes!
