Hi All!
To those of you that have been emailing me in the last couple weeks - sorry I haven't replied. Just been very busy.

Well, last weekend, a small group of us had a great-weather street ride through Ortega and lunchin in Dana Point Harbor. No pics to share though. Lefo's friend Wilson discovered an after-lunch flat. It luckily held a simple reinflation all the way back though.


February Offroading
Sorry, but I don't have anything planned for this month and won't be able to do any rides myself. Other things just have me too busy. If anyone would like to plan a ride, by all means, please do so. You can post it to the message board and, if you send me the below info, I'll announce it to everyone for you. Unfortunately, only 30% of our club is subscribed to our message board. Hey everyone - hint hint.
Who: All offroad vehicles?
What: Day ride? Weekend?
Camping reservations? Phone or web address? RV hookups?
Where: Meet up info. Where at?
When: Day? Time?
Other: Other info?

Paco - you still want to plan Lytle Creek to Boldy Mesa Feb 16? (If you didn't already do this ride today)

By the way, someone posted the Adelanto Grand Prix on our events page. I don't know much about it, but it sounds like a great day if you're an offroad racer or just want to watch.

From a Dec 5 post from Stu:
Death Valley there is an organized ride in Feb: http://www.district37ama.org/dualsport/ridefliers/dvrallyboth.pdf


NEXT UP - March Dualsport Ride (Ride 4 Kids fundraiser)
The Ride 4 Kids dualsport event out of Glen Helen is coming around again (20th year). If you own a dualsport, please join us. It's not only a great day of riding with a big turnout, but it's really for a great cause. It makes for a ride day you'll remember. By the way, this ride marks our club's one year anniversary.
More info on the event: http://www.ride4kids.org/sanBernardino/index.htm
 
Who: Everyone on a street-legal dualsport!
What: Roll-chart guided DUALSPORT ride through San Bernardino forestry around Glen Helen.
- Free pancake breakfast!
- The roll-charted ride is approximately 90 miles.
Where: The ride starts and ends at Glen Helen Raceway.
If you'd like to caravan-ride there fully-geared on your bike, I'll be at Coffeetown at 7 a.m. 
We'll take off by 7:20 a.m.
CoffeeTown info:
1511 Rimpau Ave. (cross street: Magnolia), Corona. 909-280-0500. Map HERE.
When: Sunday, March 16, 2003
Registration opens at 7:00 a.m. and closes at 8:30 a.m.
Other: Roll chart holder - you'll need one. I know Chaparral carries them.
If you've never used a roll chart before, don't worry, it's easy. I'll show you when we get there.
If you don't have a tripmeter or odometer, your roll chart will be difficult to use. Stick with the group of us or at least with somebody that has one. The route also has all turns ribbon-tagged to help you out.

Note: There may be a sound check at this event. If you've got a loud pipe, I wouldn't suggest coming with it.
This ride does go very nearby a few houses and I believe D37 was granted permission by these people.

For those completely new to dualsporting events, I'll do something in the March newsletter to help you get started - how to prepare, what to expect, etc. I remember quite well being intimidated to join the first one. There's really no reason to be.

Tip From Ken Z - When you sign up for the ride, be sure to put Corona Riders as your sponsoring club. They will announce how much cumulative $$ we contribute. The PR couldn't hurt.


April Road Ride - Maybe a Track Day?
This is yet to be planned.
Mike - how about a weekend track day? Want to set this up?
If so, we could have a quick survey to find interest now.
If we get a confirmed head count soon, maybe we can reserve a weekend day well in advance.
California speedway in Fontana would be ideal, but anywhere in So CA would do.


May Offroad Weekend Camp
Marisa & Rob - you still on for planning this? If so, let me know what you'd like to do.
Who: All offroad vehicles?
What: Day ride? Weekend?
Camping reservations? Phone or web address? RV hookups?
Where: Meet up info. Where at?

Other: Other info?


Photos
If you don't know this already, I create promotional materials for the Cycle World Motorcycle Shows and a couple motorcycle-industry publications. It makes my job a little more fun to use powersports-related photos of people I know in them. If you'd like the possibility of a small piece of fame, send me the highest-quality possible JPG images of either riding action or whatever bike-related type photos of yourself and/or friends along with some sort of description. Sorry, you don't get paid for these and there's no guarantee they'll get used. If they do though, I'll be sure to let you know, so you can bask in your fame. I've done this numerous times for my ride buddies from high school.
