So unless something major happens i'll be leaving very early Friday morning. Is there good parking because i'm coming by myself and more than likely just using a tent or sleeping in my truck.

Rules of the Trail:

- Rule #2 - Use hand singles for oncoming traffic. Ex. Raise your hand with all 5 fingers up means 5 or more riders behind you. Raise hand with 2 fingers up means 2 riders are behind you. Raise hand with a fist means trail is clear.
- Follow the WindRock Trail Rules.
- Stay on the trail.
- Be respectful to all riders.
- Do not litter. Pack it in pack it out.
- This is not a drinking trip, Yet.. Only WindRock is prohibiting it.
- Helmets are recommended. Required for under 18.
- Land use passes are required. They are NOT provided!
- It is highly recommended that someone in your group have a large scale map or digital tracking.
----------------------

Saturday Night Door Prizes.
We are looking for some door prizes!
If anyone has a good connection with there dealer I ask you please hit them up and see if they would be willing to sponsor our ride. In exchange, I will offer a 3 month banner on the front of our webpage with a "do-follow" link as well a few facebook plugs and send them a thank you card after the ride. We are looking for tangible items, anything they have laying round would be great that may be useful.

Here are some things we currently have.
RockyMountain ATV/MC giving everyone who attends Saturday a $10 gift card. You will need to provide your name/mailing address to me as I have to send them in. Cards will be mailed out to you.
WindRock Park has provided the following - 2 - Year land pass'es, 1 - $100 off next campground rental. Both good until June 2016.
----------------------

NEW or Inexperienced riders!
If you are a new or inexperienced rider please shoot me a PM. I want to find a way to identify you so experienced riders can guide you as needed. Maybe a pink marker flag on the ROPS or something. Though we do not plan to take any black trails, I can NOT guarantee there will not be difficult spots along the way. I know that even a simple changeling spot, if handled incorrectly, can be come dangerous quick. We are all here for each other and will help as needed to get you across/up/down safely.

Any questions, mistakes, or confusing parts.... Let me know.
It takes everyone for our ride to go well.
Thanks.

Tflynn,
I might not be able to attend... but the site would love to sponsor a chapter out that way if we could find a group leader and a few riders.

Re: 2015 HondaSxS Group Ride - March 27, 28, WindRock Park T

Does anyone know a good place to get a gps map of the area? I tried to download one from here http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/view/446/
It does not work for some reason
Or, can i just buy a good ol fashioned paper map from the campground?

The old fashion maps from the camp ground are nice. There HUGE (like 3ft in size) and very detailed. Fold it up right and it will get you around.

The ones from the site are way better. I printed out the online version and laminated it last year but it was pretty bad out of date. It's worth the few bucks to grab a current one when you get there.

Spifyd, I would hit up a few different atv parks along the way. Stay at one for a few days or one; :mrgreen: than head to another and go to windrock thursday or friday. Royal blue is close to wind rock if you want to ride there a few days.
