Beer, ice and lawn chairs are always last to be packed so they are front and center when we get there... :mrgreen:

That's great to hear that you are coming Gary, Ian and I were planning to pop in on our way down this afternoon to say hi... We still can, plenty of space if you guys want anything trailered to Rick's or a ride etc.

A quick update - 1.30am and most are by the fire pit (J.A. Is in bed as is Johnatkens), we have ALL survived to fight another day :thumbup: Last night we did a late ride out, not a wise move, 65 degrees when we left and mid 50's when we got back C O L D - Especially riding without gloves! We all avoided the deer that nonchalantly wandered in front of us. Today we spend a while fixing up "toys" then went for a ride up the "Old Mission Peninsular" (after we all managed to find each other and re-group (It's a tourist Mecca here at the moment) - J.A. was somewhat stunned at how fast we all rode, he said that "if he was home in N.M. then we would all be in jail by now" :lol:
So, chill time, we got 3 of the H1 powered "carts" out on the track - MAYHEM! they are brutal on such a small track - Yet again Minnesota Mark in the "sliver Bullet ruled the roost! . . . Tomorrow will be another day! :P After that it was timed laps on a fixed speed small go cart - GOOD fun, it was all down to driver technique, we were all within a couple of seconds of each other - I was elated to have won1 - It may rain tomorrow and we will try again in the wet 8-)
.
Last off, we had 5 KV's out on the track, my first few laps were O.K. but the rear tyre was soggy, I swapped bikes and was stepping up the pace when the handlebars sheared off and I left the track into the field . . . . And ended up in a tree we just cut down for firewood! :lol: Time to call it all a day and sit by the fire pit . . . So, I had better go back out and join the guys :wave:
.
Photos to follow . . . Too late tonight and beer is getting warm! ;)

We finally had the big showdown - who would be "King Of The Hill?" J.A. was enthusiastic enough to help get stuff running :

Then came the BIG race (On a closed circuit of course :roll: )

"King of the Hill" turned out to be "Kevin" a newcomer racing the "new addition" cart :clap:
