Great River Gravel Ride 2014

Someone needs to have a talk with the weatherman

I asked Jerid at work what the weather looked like and he laughed. He's a meteorologist here at KARE 11 in the Twin Cities. I would take every forecast with a grain of salt until mid next week. Then worry! :eek1

Anyone NOT going to be on a dual sport? It's going to take a minor miracle for my DR350 to make it.

Out. Have a visitation and funeral Saturday.

You're good. Ride with us. :)

I'm already on the list as being "IN". I want to add one more guy coming with me from up north. His name is John (we will have to find a catchy name for him over the weekend)

Im in! Should be a good time. Like to meet some of the adv group. Did I just get a sweet TOTP

I this the John that is already on the list with no user name or a different one?

Sell that pig and buy a trials bike.

Different, we can call him Different John.

Fiddler is here!!!

​

Packing the rain gear for Sunday. Let's ride!

Well if the Fiddler is in then so am I.
I hope the weather is good as I'm a fair weather rider only.

The Fiddler may be out for next weekend, unless someone can help him on his bike.

Why, what happened to him?

I briefly considered trying it on my 1100 shadow. Its actually fun to drive on gravel, but I don't think it'd do well on B roads- especially if they're muddy.

So do I drive my shadow 4 comfortable hours each way and be miserable in the mud? Or do I take my xr650 and be uncomfortable for the drive there and back?

I may not have to make that decision, sadly. I might not be able to make it next weekend.

If this helps any there are bypasses for the B's. I say bring the Shadow.

He fell down and went boom.

He does that all the time. As long as it was a boom and not a bam he should be ok.

It would be a unique bike for the ride. I had visions of wheelying through the water crossings for the photog, though. Won't be doing that on the Shadow!

Next weekend is very much up in the air. Lemme see if i can get there first. Then, I'll worry about what to drive.

Silly new guy question . . . . is the camp near chow, or would I be better off bring the camp kitchen?
