Do we know anyone who is racing this year?

And then there were 4 of us!

Nope, but I am pulling for Kevin Muggleton since he has had an amazing recovery from breaking his back at last years Dakar.

Riding down?

I am in DC now, but will be back in NC this March…I will see you all there. I will ride in the day before.

Cheers!

You up for a New Years Day ride then?

I'm not much into thinking things through.

Are you?

Most likely.

There's a couple of us that would love to join you guys on a RTE or camp trip to pick your brains on the Northern Quebec trip.

you're assuming we have a brain to pick.

Here's a road for J4S's western ride next summer

Feel free to join us anytime....anything in particular that you would like to chat about?

I am assuming you are talking about the Trans Taiga? If so, happy to provide info whenever you are in the area. Just let me know so I did up a map to bring with.

RR here: SoMD ADV Riders Present: 55th Parallel, But Whose Counting--A Trans Taiga Adventure

Planning thread here: SoMD Adventure riders do James Bay/Trans Taiga (planning phase)

Just an FYI, you might also look at the Explorers Edition of the Roaming Rally which rides this coming Memorial Day weekend

Been meaning to make it up there for a couple of years now, but something job or family related has seemed to postpone it. Figured it would be good medicine to pow wow w/others who have already got the t-shirt.

I know Max is itch'n to get up there too. He broke his leg this year and had to abondon ship.
