Re: Eureka Springs Dualsport Ride Report

MacWildcat, Thanks for posting the pix and report from the Hillbilly. I'm the fella with the Super Sherpa on Saturday's ride. I really enjoyed the ride and thanks for leading. I hope your knee is healing well and we can ride together again soon.

Hillbilly Dualsort ride

Has anyone heard if the Hillbilly Dualsport ride out of Eureka Springs is on this year? I rode a couple of years ago and had a great time. I havn't seen any postings about it so I'm wondering if it is still on, where and when.

Re: DualSport ride Aug. 16 2009

Todd, Looking forward to the ride. I'll see how it looks in the morning, but I'm counting on it being good for the ride. I have another person planning to go, and I told him to call me around 7:30 to confirm. We should be at you place a little after 8. I'll call if there is a change.

Re: Trials in Excelsior Springs, MO

Pretty much but I'd prefer to go if it isn't raining. The ground can get pretty slick although several of the sections are within an easy walk of the parking site. I'll check out the weather report late Sat eve and early Sun morn.

I'm glad to see the response to my post about the MATT Trials. I'm sorry I won't be able to make it this year. I've had an emergency in the family which will require me to stay close to home.
