ADA Fundraiser Run @ RC

The event is scheduled for 16 Sept 2007,

Will anyone be going to RC on Sat the 15th to pre-run the trails, Last year we only came out for the event on that day.

We are trying to plan our trip in advance, and see if we need to come out early.

damn this falls on the last big dogs event for the year. Thats not cool.

Yes, the plan is to wheel Saturay as a club, get our leakings in, then have a meeting and designate the trails for Sunday. Finalize the last adjustment to the event.

who comes up with these dates? as far as i know there are allot of people in the rock raiders group scheduled to go to big dogs that weekend. i am one of them ( i will be at the dogs)

Count me in. I have 24 years dedicated to this cause so...

i would love to go to the ada run , i enjoyed it and it is a good cause..............(that is a no-brainer). i just thought from talking to other on the big dogs part of this forum that we were doing the dogs that weekend.

the Idea of having the ADA run the week before or after big dogs sounds great to me that way everybody wins in the end.

You know everyone has been notified early in the year that the event was going on the same date as last year, the only change was from Saturday to Sunday. Big Dogs came after that information was put out. I can not change the date because it has been advertise as such, Bigdog events always conflicts with our events, no matter what I do. the last event we had planned got can because someone posted a bigdog event in the middle of ours and consequestly, we both lost opportunities. Remember the calendar on Meet Up where we posted the events.

i guess i will have to rethink this through and figure out where i will be going, i suppose i could stay the night at rausch for sat and sunday.

I will be out for this one. I passed on the other 3 big dog events to go to this one because it is going to be a very big event this year with big sponsors showing up and everything. Somewhere I missed that the ADA ride will be the same weekend as it was last year. If I heard about it I would have written it in my calander and I'm quite anal about that. I though we were going to change it so it wouldn't compete with big dogs but I could be mistaken.

Am I alone here but I haven't been on the meet-up site at all. Since I was kicked off and didn't bother to resign up cause there was no action on the meet-up. All the good stuff is on the forum. I could be alone with this but thats why I didn't know about the dates. i would like to go to the ADA run but I too was considering wheeling at big dogs cause its only a hour away. But with the current mods that I'm working on with the jeep I'm not sure if I will even be back wheeling the rig by then. But for the better of both runs the ADA and Big Dogs we should keep our plans to ourselves and not on the forum. That way everyones personal opinions don't change other peoples ride plans. Everyone has different people they enjoy wheeling with and different events that they want to attend. just my .02 cents I will shut up.

I just going to speak up and say when everyone stops talking with each other is when your going to start to see problems begin. Communication is always the key to success. I'm going to start a new thread for big dogs so as not to tramp on this one or take away at all from this event. But basically we have the privilage to run R.C. all year and we do at every monthly trail ride we have, Big dogs you get the chance to wheel at 4 times a year and thats it. Sept. is the biggest event they hold for the year so I think it stinks that we personly have to choose but also it takes away from other people participating in our event. My feeling is if you can move the event from sat. to sun., you can move it from one week to the next.

I appreciate your input, but the date and the place had been heavely exposed, people have already made plans to attend for that weekend, The Sunday factor was already on the calander. It does suck, but BigDogs event has nothing to do with ours, our date is the best weekend available to us and planned well in advance with Rausch Creek too. In fact it the date had been already targeted when the 2006 event ended.

I know you guys wanna go to both, but I am affraid that will be an impossible task. Our supporting venders have been told of the date on their letter, the internet and the advertising all correspond the same. You guys go ahead play at Big Dogs, have fun, we will survive, I have to think for the rest of the club and the community of Offroaders this affects, not just a few members.

I have already received stuff for the raffle and waiting for more. I have other folks that have volunteered to guide and spot and I am sure there will be more. You will be missed!

i just want to say that i hope the ada run brings in more money than last year, i will still be pledging money for the event even though i will not be there, that is reason for the run. not to just wheel. i hope everyone can donate something to the cause even if they are not there.IT SHOULD BE A GREAT EVENT

Well its a good cause so Im gonna do my best to be there. On the plus side I run with the little runts, not the big dogs! plus its a couple days before jeep camp - so good way to start the week for me.

THERE HAVE BEEN SOME UP DATES TO OUR WEB SITE, IN PARTICULAR SOME ADDED PAGES. IF YOU HAVEN'T VISITED IT, DO SO AND KEEP UP WITH WHAT THE PUBLIC AT LARGE IS READING AND SEEING.

Looks great Tico, Let me know how to help.

Make a copy of the flier and pass them out, also need more sponsors, I mailed 84 locations and received 4 replies, event though they are 4, they amount to over 1700 worth in certificates. More is good. let other clubs know too.

Thanks. Looks like I will miss this weekend ride. Have fun.

Did you send anything to Mt Zion? I can get you some more info and I will try to hit up Mike this weekend.
