Lanier/riot/ronny ride 2010 ??

[Shonuff]

I need more Lou time.

I was completely unaware of the liability insurance.
Did Juana's require it?

The state park tried to pull that bs with me at the Rock N Ride this year because I wanted a tent. I told them I was cancelling the event and had it anyway...its a state park, you can normally ride there, so F them. It was a nonevent event, (just with no tent!)

I have also lost my arse in T-shirts in the past (about $500 one year, $200 another). Now, I just have people order them from cafepress....Thanks to Ronnymac for that setup!

I am not sure how the Rock N Ride will look next year....but WaveRave and FSF have cut out the sponsors and raffles and stuff and just have people show up to ride, and they are still big events (especially waverave!)

Justin, post up your PayPal please.

When I bought my 5 or 6 shirts, I thought that's pretty much where your expenses ended.

you did your part. and i thank you sir.

i am just not in a position to do it again.

we can find a weekend that everyone wants to come down and we will ride, but that will be it.

we are trying to put ourselves in the position to move to a better market for both of us. hence i am working m - f full time for peanuts to try and make it work out. :doh:


i am even having a hard time trying to make it to ft walton to compete. not having anyone to sit on the kids while i ride sux. i had my heart set on gulfport then event #2 was to be ft walton. maybe i just need to get a divorce and be a total douche to enjoy what makes me happy outside the kids themselves.

Where are the archives for the riot and SFF?



maybe start up a poll on which date works the best for everyone.
then make a call to the campground
make a roll call thread on the forums

and be done with it

Dam im really freaken sad to hear there wont be a p'cola ride in april,it always seemed like the kick off to the fresh new season.Justin i had goodtimes both years it was put on,i really appreciate you putting it on.

[madscientist]

I believe I can make it down for a non event! :27:

There is a lot of truth to that simple statement Justin. Why does every ride have to be an "event" ? What happened to the days of just riding for the sake of riding & getting together? I think people are trying to make it a lot more complex than it has to be. Before Daytona was an event peeps still showed up & rode. It just got around by word of mouth or however that hey, group "a" from state "b" would be riding on weekend "c". No bs, no getting permits, no taking donations for whatever, no tshirts, no meals.

I love Daytona & Nick does a great job - but no one should feel the need to compete with that or even try to copy it.

agreed!

and why are the same people that are complaining that no one come to these planned "events" are also saying that it doesn't matter because they like the small rides anyways....doesn't make much sense to me.

Because even at a small ride you generally want at least 20 or so participants ,at an event you need a lot more people than that ,its not really that hard to figure out Emm.:cool2:

I'll bring my lightsaber, my ski, and a bottle of Jack Daniels.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Terry, believe it or not, we use to have about 3 rides at Lanier each year, no planning other that a post "Hey, who wants to meet next week". We would have people from Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina. Oh, at least 30 people each ride.

It takes no planning, no effort, no BS. Just show up.

yep... no bs... those were the days!

I gotta say, I miss the build offs!

...and the house boat too!

 

[XFT LOU]

Whereas my minimum desired participant level would be at least ten.

I will settle for ten but hay twenty would be twice as good!:bananapowerslide:
