Title: Mclean on the 7th
Post by: 01sahara on July 03, 2007, 07:34:16 AM

No trail ride planed this coming weekend so let’s get a group out to help with the clean up effort that the EVO site has started for the 7th. We can cover aom short trails while we clean up.

I saw the news after this weekend and it looks like Mclean is a disaster area. The news is all over it blaming the trucks. The local residents are calling for a closure of the area to trucks. Even if we clean it up it to may be gone soon. BUT if they close it and I have not tried too clean it up to keep it open I will kick myself. At least with the IG closure we can’t second guess ourselves and say maybe if I had done more? We did everything right and still got screwed over but it helps to know we did things right.

If we get enough volunteers out maybe it will make a difference?

Please post who is coming so we can tel the group on the EVO site.

Thanks so much... yes, unfortunately a lot of people want to ruin it for the rest of us.  Keep on putting up a great fight... Clay will be bringing the Warthog out there to show people that tire size doesn't matter as long as you are respectful of the trails.  Lets show them we care...

working on calling some media to come & witness it for themselves.

My plates have expired :oops:

I will renew them first thing then I'll catch up later in the day

'' BEEPBEEP'' There is a 30% chance of rain tomorrow according to enviroment canada.. Bald tires and mud do not mix very well..

you sig' says you have truxus tires if they are 50% or better you should be fine.

You can always come on down to the staging area and ride shotgun if your tires aren't good enough.

Guys I apologize I have a family issue that needs attention and therefore will not be able to attend now.  If there is still help needed next weekend we have a group going out so let us know.  Have a good day.
