    This has been on my mind for quite some time and with Gene, OMR, Rut, D Stepper, TK Blazer and George on board we thought this needs to happen!

    The plan is to get back to our "roots" of what we used to do on a monthly basis....getting together and riding with pretty much everyone on this forum. For those of you that remember we have had some great ones whether helping a fellow rider in SD who lost everything and getting him a new Yeti AND presenting it to him on his local trails to riding the "ahem" trails at Chino Hills in mass, having one of the biggest conga lines ever up blackstar and pretty much taking over the Fully Loop multiple times.

    Those are the days myself and others miss so we agreed its time to get out from behind the computer screens, meet some new members, see some old friends, ride some dirt and have fun!!

    So the plan is this:
    December 17th, a saturday at 9am, we are going to have a newbie/social/holiday/I like turtles ride at Blackstar Canyon where the pace will be strictly enforced to be mellow! You want to go fast, go somewhere else:) I of course joke but really we are not doing this to see who can get to the gate first. The plan and hope is we all ride together and be SOCIAL! Talk about the trail, the scenery, the latest and greatest in bikes and bike fashion :lol: whatever it may be, just have fun.

    There will be refreshments and grub at Beeks Place once we ALL arrive and then of course a hopefully massive group photo! There is even talk of a ping pong table waiting up there too:bang:

    The theme is of course holiday based so break out your holiday gear, lights, candy cane striped bike...whatever it takes.

    I truly hope every single member on this forum can attend as well as family and other friends as I know my daughter will be with me- she has never been up blackstar so I am pretty stoked!- and I would like to meet some new dirt and asphalt lovers that share the same passion that I do.

    Hope to see YOU ALL there and remember, I like turtles;)

    p.s. can someone set up a rsvp:)?

    I'm pretty sure THIS will be the biggest one yet. It will be good to meet some of the new members, put some faces to names and also see and ride with some long time members/friends. Looking forward to it. Thanks for for putting it together Neil.

    Yay! I am so excited. The last social ride a month ago at Marshall Canyon totally reminded me of the old 100+ STR rides, it was SO MUCH FUN! Glad that we are going to start doing them again. The last massive STR ride at Blackstar was before I started mtbing so I am soo excited to have it there; if I have to climb and descend a long ass fireroad, I might as well have 100+ of my closest friends suffering with me, LOL! Woohoo! Let's hope it doesnt rain =)

    It's been done before....name tags are not a bad idea......

    Actually a little meet and greet at the b* gate I think would be a great idea.

    Really looking forward to this!
