ADA TRAILS.... I NEED INPUT PEOPLE!!!!!

Okay everyone the ADA run is coming and it will be here much faster than many of us think. I have been talking with Tico about the event, he has a lot of great thinks planned for the event. This year it is my job the make sure all the trails are sorted out and that all the guides are set in the right direction. I have no hope in getting this done unless I have a good group of guides that are willing to help. I know that most you will think that when I say help it means work. Trust me I'm going to do all the work. All I need from my guides is what trails you want to run (what trails your willing to run if you are flexible), how many rigs are you willing to deal with and please a little patience. Any one that is interested please contact me with a Email, PM or you can be bold and post any replies or questions.

I do have a couple of ideas of how I want this to go. I know that not everything goes the way that most plan it to go but I have good lucky with my planning keeping things to keep some kind of order which helps. As for the trails that I plan on having people running I need that to come from the people running trails and the guides. I want to do my best to make sure that everyone runs the trails they want to run. I figure that most of you that run the hard blues, blacks and reds like small groups. Those of you that like to run the fire roads, greens and blues like running with larger groups. I have talked with Tico about this and it will work as long as I have enough people step forward to take on there own group. I know that many of you out there only know me thru the forum or on the trails that I tend to run which mean there are some that I don't know. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you have any questions or feel like you would like to guide a group please don't be afraid to ask. There is no questions not worth asking.

Tico can you please make this post a sticky.

Thanks to everyone in advance. I'm really looking forward to this and I plan on having a lot of fun.

I can guide whatever you need me to.

I'll take a easy blue or better trail group out if you need a guide.

Stick me with any black trails you want, with optional red if they want it.

Are you planning on posting the trails ahead of time or is it going to be up to the trail lead to pick the trails?


by the way i got your calls and got a call in to him.. He hasnt responded.

Nester I plan on being there both days even though I have not sent in my reg. I perfer to be a trail gunner but if need be I can lead I been doing here lately. I will do greens or blues. If need it I will do harder but that is realy pushing it for me. I'm getting better at spoting but I cannot find the right line for myself. keep me green and blue if possible. I will not get board with stockers on a green trail I enjoy that.

I was thinking that I will have all the guides talk or meet with me before the event and pick there routes. The park is plenty big for everyone as long as everyone doesn't try the same trail at once.

Just let me know if you make any progress, Thanks.

Bill, Joe, Matt and Paul I'm going to mark you guys down for what you want to run. Paul since your the first in line for the green/blue run I will make sure you stay with what your going to enjoy the most. Thanks for stepping forward guys.

i just thought that it would be cool to be able to see what group is running what trails and be able to pick where you want to run based off of who's running what.

Well thats easy I'm going to be keeping track of my guides and what they are running. Hopefully Tico has a idea of what everyone wants to run for me to get basic counts on who is where but anyone that has requests just let me know and I will do my best to grant your wish. I plan on keeping everything in the open on the forum. Once I get a good list going I will make another post that is easy for everyone to reference and keep it up dated. Keep it coming guys this is working good.

Count me in to guide if you need me. I have been doing alot of it lately. blues and blacks

I can run with the stockers, i'm pretty decent at picking out lines for them. Mostly greens maybe some light blues. I have a couple of stock friends that are probably coming up too.

Good job Nester!

I am glad to see the guys from the rough ridders step up to the challenge, thanks for the help. Here is something to add;

It is now July 18th, I have one commitment confirm, my own. To this date I have (0) registrations turned in. Still don't have all the venders stuff yet. The T-shirt are on order and waiting for my confirmation on sponsors.

Worried, Nauuuugh! what would give you guys that Idea...... HELP! get the word out for people to visit our website for the registration....please!

If I don't make it to Hannibal for the Allstock Nationals ( a long shot that I will go, but still a possibility) I will guide a small group for blacks and some reds...

Did you have more commitments at this time last year?

You need to keep posting it on Rausch if you havent..

Do a nice post and I will cut and paste it on Pirate, NC4x4, Creepers, Jeeps Unlimited, Jeep Forum and the others I visit.


Are you allowed to put flyers at Adams Jeep? I will ask Napa if we can put a pile at their counter.

Tico, I'm sure you should get a good turn out. Just keep pushing the event I will do the same on my side and if we all keep at it we will have a kick ass event that will be fun for all.

Matt I will try to keep up with the post on the pirate and jeeps unlimited but if you could help me if I forget that would be a huge help. Thanks

Keep the comments and posts coming everyone. I'm keeping note.

I put it in this thread on the MJ board

http://www.militaryjeepers.com/community/showthread.php?t=2347

yeah please do and you can post this thread. I know a couple of those guys that live down my way. I have been working on them but its hard to find people willing to drive 3 hours to ride trails.

I've seen your posting, and I see no activity other than Nester on it. Use this as a heading:

"3rd Annual Off road fund raiser to benefit the American Diabetes Assos."

All trails open, all ride welcome, music and food available, camp of hotel you choose. Visit our club web site www.marylandrockraiders.org.

This will help get the attention of readers and maybe we will see better results.

Tico dont worry about the post on the pirate. Matt and I are on there enough to know what people like to read plus Matt has a red star which shows he is a paid member. The guys on pirate are hardcore for them its about the cause and the wheeling. Everything else is just a extra they can see if they click on the link. Give it time there is time for people to respond and we are making good progress.

Thanks!

its on Facebook
lol

Nester we should include minimum requirements for vehicles in the sign up form. Example at least 33" tires and one locker for blacks. Sorry if this has already been taken care of.

yeah we can do that. As long as we make it clear that all are welcome its just in order to run blacks or harder you need at least 33's, a locker and it can not be your first time running them at RC

Facebook works. I do not have a myspace or facebook but both are excellent networks to get word out. Put the word out tell them about Tico's web page and that they can email questions or post them on the forum
