So looking forward to riding this weekend. Today is only the 12th and it has been a long month already. In much need of throttle therapy!

Some take pills, others empty bottles, but I forget my problems with wide open throttles! (saw something like this elsewhere on the internet and promptly stole it)

Got some disturbing news this past Friday. My wife had a follow up visit on her Melanoma. It has been clean results for about 5 years up to this point. They've found "something" but really don't yet know if it is a recurrence or an unrelated nothing to worry about. They aren't messing around with it though. We go to see the surgeon the 19th for the consult to schedule removal of the "something". This ride has suddenly taken fresh new meaning for us again. Hoping for the best! Looking forward to a day of riding for the cause in the meantime.

I wish u and your wife the best. My wife has worked in the Qutainius surgery and Oncology "Moes" Melanoma clinic at the University of Michigan for the last 20 yrs. From what i know thats a normal protocol to go in and take those suspicious things out for biopsy just to make sure. Hang in there fridnd.

Thank you sir! The initial hit of the news made for a bad day but staying positive and trying not to let the unknown stress us out too much.

Officially Friday! I've got wires running everywhere right now. Charging phones, GoPro batteries, USB battery banks, & helmet comms (Sena brand). Heading out first thing to pick up my trailer and load up the P500 and the CRF110F. My wife, my son and I will be PA bound for the ride in a matter of hours. I'm excited as a kid on Christmas Eve.

We didn't do the RSVP thing on this. Looks like @jay_man81 and @swsebek are going to be there. Any one else planning to attend?

Loaded and ready for morning

 

[NTCPrezJB]

I’m rockin’ the Toyota Sienna minivan (grey-ish) with the extremely full little trailer. Red P500 on it and white/red CRF110F on the tongue. I will take a picture in the morning before we head out of the hotel.

I will PM both of you my cell number.

My wife, son and I had a blast today. It was nice to meet jay_man81 and his wife and ride with them for a bit. Sorry I didn’t see you today swsebek.

We will definitely do this ride again next year. I hope they raised bundles of money for the Cancer Society. I will get some pictures and videos uploaded throughout the week.

We were the ones pulling over for faster traffic to pass us.

The only time my son was away from us was when he walked back up to his dirt bike after the power wheel racing was over. We watched the races from the finish line. Got a great video or two to post from that for sure!

 

[NTCPrezJB]

They had a down hill power wheel race. "Adults" on children's toys on a hill..."hold my beer" had to come into play when this was first thought up. Anyway, this clip would have been number 1 on the SC not top 10.

No the gentlemen was not "hurt". He got up and raised his fists in celebration of his spectacular finish saying I hope someone got that on film. Several of us did!

I created a Photo Album on my Amazon Prime from the pictures we took at the ride. Hopefully it is okay to share photos this way.

I also posted the rest of the Power Wheel racing on youtube. @jay_man81 has a video up for the races as well, if you only have time for one then watch his. His is actually put together nicely where I just dropped the clips out there.

I only live about an hour or so from this place. Never been there. Was thinking of going but my boys play baseball an could not go. Maybe next year.

My son decided to miss his Friday baseball game so he could go with us.

Being that close I'd recommend you check out the riding park. It is definitely worth a day pass ($25 per person weekends and $20 per person weekdays only closed on Tuesdays).

 

[jay_man81]

I'm definitely planning another trip for this year sometime! I want to get the P5 there to play a bit and try some if the black trails out with the torq locker.
