Reunion Ride update.

[Mark Annan]

The following is a copy of a message from Andre Ming (Vinduro founder).  I thought some of you guys would like to see it.

I'll see all you felow POGers in a few days.

I just received a phone from call: Ron Ribolzi.

He is super pumped about this year's ISDTRR.  Got some more info to share with you that sounds SUPERB:

*8 checkpoints on Day One alone!! (More fun and time to kibitz with friends!)  

* 10 MPH average both days. (So there'll be plenty of time for even us slow guys.)

* Trails laid out with a small bore '79 Honda XL. This means it will be VINTAGE BIKE FRIENDLY.

* MUCH smoother trails and more bike and old body friendly. Ron said his crews would lay out a section their modern bikes, he'd ride it on the XL, and tell 'em "no way" they'd go to work finding alternatives.

* 1/4 the rocks of last year.

* 99.9% of the face slappers have already been removed.

* Many miles of NEW TRAIL they've opened up so that it's wide enough for an ATV.

* Already have 350+ reservations for the Banquet!

* Already have nearly 40 ISDT/E vets registered!

* Much fewer new bikes, TONS MORE old bikes. (Vinduro's influence was noted.)

* Weather looks to be in the mid-50's BOTH days with the weekend rain removed from the forecast. In other words PERFECT.

* Supposed to rain for a couple days BEFORE the event which will also be PERFECT.

* Be sure to pull Inga's longerie completely off.

Well, all for now.

Looks like an EPIC adventure awaits us.
