Hey, that sounds like a really good idea! I wouldn't mind paying him either. Heck, most of the places I ride require some kind of fee, even the National Forest. I say go for it. You'll enjoy the ride. There'll be enough people there that you won't have to rub elbows with TheSnobbyGuy at all if you don't want to.
Speaking of our trip out there, have we ever actually picked a date? I can't remember, and BladeRider was wanting to know not too long ago so she could schedule some vacation time for it where she works. I'll need to mark those days too at some point, but our vacations aren't really set in stone when we mark them. I couldn't really recall how long we were planning on doing this either, but I figured it would be a long weekend kinda thing. I don't want to overstay my welcome and all that. It'll take BladeRider and I about 13 hours to get there so we'll have to plan for a travel day on either end for that.
That was why I was thinking maybe we should bring it up now, so those that need to plan vacation time from work will have plenty of time to do it.
No we never picked an exact date...any time works for me...so if anyone wants to throw a date out there, please, go for it. And it doesn’t have to be Oct...
I’m hoping I can work a deal with the snobby guy:), one of the reasons I don’t go to his rides, I think he’s regular price is a bit steep for what you get. It’s $35 which includes lunch and snacks. I was going to clear this with everyone before I scheduled it. I think $25 would be more in line, and I think he’d get more riders, but $35 dollars is a lot, IMO, especially for families.
