Is there going to be an 1/2 official camping spot ?.... which one??

If you take your index finger and thumb tip to tip and splay out the remaining 3 fingers you create OK

and in like a lion comes March.

Well sort of a Lion with a head cold down here

I am currently leaning toward Vstrom bike camping... But will not make reservation until weather is clear. There seems to be like 4 camps near enough so 1 should be fine. Or I doubt I have any problem knocking out in a day up and back

Does anyone know if we need off road stickers? There was some issue last year as to wether we needed Ma. stickers, just wondering if there was a decision on this subject.

No for sure.

No Mass ORV stickers required for this event.

We will have BBA "I'm not dead yet" tee shirts made for this event.

We will have them on sale on during registration on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. All profits from these shirts will go to charity.

Ross, any preview on the graphics?

Rusty Rocket · 03-04-2012, 09:16 AM

You can now reserve your shirt in the size you want by enclosing $20 extra with your entry to purchase your shirt. Last time all the XL's were gone quick. We have adjusted the amounts to allow for more of the bigger sizes, so Mediums and Large are somewhat limited.

Be sure to mention what size you need and quantity

They will be Hanes Beefy Tees. Right now they are limited to the first 100.

We have had as many as 200 entries in the past so don't be left out!

If they sell out way before the event date, we can get more, but if it's too close, meh!

viverrid · 03-04-2012, 12:47 PM

Hey, I thought we were gonna be able to pre-ride soon. Then got 8 inches of heavy, wet snow a couple of days ago. At my place (along the route) we still have snow. It melted down a bit but not as much as you might think, as the temps only got above 40 briefly. Yet down in Lee (the Turnpike exit) they have nothing.

This morning the temps were above freezing, but it's supposed to be a low of 9 degrees (F) tonight. But daytime high of 50 on Wednesday and 61 on Thursday. Go figure.

No, sorry Steve. I am keeping it under wraps for now.

Steve, this will be Gargoyle's call, but don't expect anything cutting edge as to graphics. Mostly we are having discussions as to exactly what to put on the front if we drop the "Got?" gimmick we used previously.
