DIRTY BARF Trip; Stony? Dec 6th-8th?

There will be peeps off all levels, I imagine. I like riding with my friends and will always wait for them. Conversely, they usually wait for me.
 
I thrive ob eating dirt I'll be right behind you :thumbup

I would love to go but I am concerned I may slow you all down too much. I have done all of Georgetown going counter-clockwise except trail 1-4 and the seasonal 7 area.

How does the difficulty at Stony compare?

Don't even sweat it. I've ridden plenty with some slower buddies and I'll rip a few turns, put around a bit, rip a few turns, put around a bit, it works out pretty well. I've only been to Georgetown once and Stony once, there's no comparison in my mind. Georgetown is fun, a little rocky for my taste, but still good. Stony felt like Disneyland, more fun than you can handle in a day. I suppose the difficulty isn't drastically different imo, but have a some tough sections, but the vast majority is fine for any lever rider.

All of this. I've described Stony as "Disneyland for dirtbikes" more times than I can remember. :thumbup

There's something at Stonyford for pretty much any skill level. And if this ends up being a lot of people, we'll probably split into smaller groups, anyway. We old farts don't wanna kill ourselves trying to hang with you young 'uns. :laughing
 
I might have to get in on the fun! ...love Stonyford.

Awesome! I think myself and a good friend will tag along!
 
You can find tough sections if you want them :teeth
 
My first visit to Stonyford was for the Sheetiron this year. The parts I rode were certainly a lot of fun, and I would love to explore some more up there. :thumbup
 
:boobies Ladies dirt biking and adventure group<------ somebody infiltrate and invite them :boobies :teeth

There's plenty of good stuff to be had, for sure. Stuff that's super easy in the dry, though, can become a complete nightmare when it's really wet and/or snowy. December can go either way. I'm hoping for some moisture :)


Another thing to think about is renting the Grey Pine group campground. It's a really nice alternative to Davis Flat. No kids/squids ripping past your camp non-stop kicking up a shitload of dust, nice big tree in the middle, big fire ring, vault toilet, plenty of room for everyone, creek running right by it...and even if only 10 rigs show up it's only $7.50 per night per rig. Worth it, in my opinion, to have a space to call our own. And it's available
on Thurs 12/5 to Monday 12/9 :teeth Just thought I'd throw that out there...


EDIT: Davis Flat used to be free. It is now $5 to camp there.

I'm totally fine with renting Grey Pine (hell, I'd actually prefer it, as long as it's big enough for motorhomes pulling trailers. I've never really noticed if it is, though.) :dunno

Check it out sometime when the clubs are in it during the WFO or the Jackhammer. It always blows my mind how many rigs they can cram in there. The official campsite capacity is 75. If you google maps Fouts Springs and follow the road up towards Davis Flat you can see how big it is. The big rigs can park end-to-end on the outside edge. How many big rigs are expected to show?
Again, I'm not trying to force my will upon the people, especially since this is KWeezy's idea in the first place, I just thought it could be a much more comfortable environment and no having to save a spot for your friends :)

Sounds like we'll fit. Maybe somebody should reserve the place soon?
 
I'll look into Grey Pine.
BrilliantChick, can you share some contact info?
 
so... I think the bottom of Stony/ Davis Flat must be 1500 feet, the top is 5000. The weather can do anything, but thank goodness for this man made climate change it will be perfect. Like moist and 70 degrees at the bottome and 60 at the top.

The other thing about group rides that freaks me out is the responsibility to take care of ohters. i love you guys, but i want to ride. I intend to spend alot of time with those I have already ridden with.

I absoutely want to go mess about the near woods with all of you. Especially noobs. Jeeze, I just learned to do stoppies a couple rides ago. I can do trackstands all day long (lying).

I am psyched for this.
 
revsion, I intend to ride with those i have had lunch with.
And everyone else of course.
And ridden in busses with.
And those who have two stroke motorcycles.

So say we have a little antique 2 stroke, owned a bus, and eat lunch.....
JK I'll be in the back eating dirt with the newbs :ride
 
For the injured bud & nemo, you folks should go no matter what and just chill by a campfire sipping on cocoa. Picture a nice chilly winter camping weekend, could be pretty nice.
 
So... I am reserving a campsite at Grey Pines for fri and sat nites... $159... Will hold many, and is recommended by WoodsChick.
