So who's still going to Kentucky with us? I know Jay, Al, and myself are making the trip. It's gonna be a blast. There's 34 signed up so far with riders coming from all over the country. about half are a class and half b class, so it should be a good mix of talent and skill levels. I'm not trying to pull people from the homestate event, just trying to estimate how many we have so we can figure out rides and what not.

and are the yerkes planning on going?

also i won't be racing, but hanging out with the people cruising, +1 for holdin down the rear

Possibly. If I can catch up on my bills, buy some radikals, and have enough saved for the next two weekends then I'm in... or... if my school refund check comes by then, I'll be there. I haven't asked jay yet, but he has the internet now (thanks to magic-al kwiecinski), so maybe he'll answer for himself.

EDIT: Sh!t son, 2 events in 2 weekends, life is good.

Check out the slalom section, they just posted some info there.

I did some hill hunting up here in Cedar and hit a big straight bomb. The Madrid is awesome!

I used to skate in the parking garages in R.O. but the piggys caught wind and started arresting peeps. Soo now i hit the Metro Park's paved bike trails.

SO, guys. I just remembered my great-grandpa lives in Madison Heights. He's getting kind of old, and if he dies next summer and I have to go to a funeral or anything, I'm going to come skate. Yes. I did just invite myself.

Awesome, I was just up in Cedar, right outside of Traverse City, and I found a couple decent spots, but I'd have to search more. I think I was in too much of the boonies though because the pavement was awful or dirt.

**teddy** · 08-25-2009 12:43 PM

We basically skated between the Platt River and Glen Arbor.......... plenty of sweet roads...

We Camp at the old Sleepybear Camp ground thats on the north west corner of 677 & 72. Its just like 2-3 miles east of Empire8)

**feenixx** · 08-25-2009 04:06 PM
