2012 Howlin at the Moon Dual Sport Info and Previews

If you haven't been to Young, it's worth the drive to eat at the Antler's alone!



Robert enjoys a sloppy pork sammich.



PHXMAN samples the soup of the day.



After my crash I took a shortcut to the Antler's to start my non-prescription pain therapy...but I did wait for the boys to join me before ordering some delicious fried mac and cheese and fried ravioli's. So good!

Looks like you had a great ride. I was looking for the shot of Tequilla on the table Terry..........Nightstalker Therapy....

Took my Aprilia on a shakedown in the Hualapais yesterday. Gave me some good insight as to what I need to bring with me to keep this Italian happy.

Should be good to go. Looking forward Payson.

HA! I did have mexican beer and a shot of Seagrams 7 Dark Honey. Ohh, so good...

Oh yeah. I got a great video of the crash. I was running my gopro at 60fps, so the slowmo looks pretty good...

Dont wait, go to www.arizonatrailriders.org for links to Registration.

Thanks,

cool video. looks fun.

Wow this looks great!! I'm in but it looks like none of my riding partners are going to make it. Will there be any groups to tag on to?

all kinds. don't worry about finding someone to ride with.

Great, thanks for the reply! See you there!

Don, I figured you, Brad, Will and I can lead this guy around. I need to get a lesson from Nightstalker on using my 60CSx. I have always counted on Cathy or Skip to lead us.

sounds good. i have relied on brad in the past, and am gonna have to again, if terry does not give a class on the gps beforehand. i still havent figured the programs out yet.
regardless, i wont be the first rider through, so i just follow the tracks.

Ok, last reminder.

Registration will close this Sunday 1021 at 10pm. We are very, very, close to selling out the event so I do not expect we will be taking walk-up registration at the event.

For other information go to www.arizonatrailriders.org

For the 180+ of you who have registered Thank You! Your support of this event translates into a rather big chunk of money being donated to the Arizona Off Highway Vehicle Coalition to keep our riding areas and trails open.

ATR will be at the Elks Lodge starting Friday afternoon and will have roll charts and Thank You gifts available for pickup. Just look for the big blue EZ-UP.

The weather forecast is not indicating any moisture but the temps should be awesome. Right now highs are forecast to be mid 70's and low's in the mid 40's. Might be a little chilly in the morning....hint hint.

GPS tracklogs have been sent to everyone registered as of this morning. If you are registered but have not received your Rider Confirmation or GPS Tracklog's send me an email at don.o.hood@cox.net and I'll resend.

Hoooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwl!

Fyi, for anyone thinking of Registering at the event.....Saturday is SOLD OUT but there are still spots for Sunday.

Great news for the ATR club. Should be an awesome event. I was hoping for a little rain this year but I guess the past couple years have been super lucky with moisture.

We are about ready to head out but one last update.

Roll Charts, Roll Chart Holders, GPS Tracklogs, and Thank You gifts will be available this afternoon. Just look for the ATR banner in the RV parking area on the West side of the Elks Lodge.

Everybody drive safe and we'll see you there
