I'm thinkin' the problem is that unlike you, Axa can't get a kitchen pass

Dave it's not hard to run with the big boys when your already riden on one Glad to here everyones enjoying the good old white stuff. Cheryl & I made a trip up to the far western side of the UP over New Years for a couple of days riding. We had a great time even though we were out in the nice warm 3 degree temps all day.

Things are always better with cocktails!

How's things Stepper? Little nippley out there?

Found some more Velocity chit, opps, I mean prized Velocity items, for you the other day, late X-Mass presents.

Al, 3 degrees is friggin' cold, I don't care who you are!!! I had to get some handlebar gauntlets for my sleigh. Even with the warmers going full tilt, the old hands still get cold. Hope those goofy looking things work!!

Hey Pete, glad to here your cleaning out the closet again! Keep digging Thanks Bunches in advance. I'm will be there for the annual "King of the River" run again this year timing TBD would like to make it for the 4th but if things keep going like they have been I may just do the pirates weekend trip. Work is crazy busy. been working on 3-4 projects with one being 8 hours a day 5 days a week.

Yeah it's a bit nippy coming into work today the temp was a 5 degrees at home 45 miles south it got up to 12. Got 4-6 inches of fluff yesterday. another couple storms and we'll be riding around home instead of heading north

Sounds like you need to get with Daves clothing guy

I thought about the gauntlets but haven't seen the need yet. I find that the faster I ride the hotter the grip wamers get and actually get a little to hot once we back down for the twists and turns.

Yeah that day was a little chilly, first leg out the sleds actually over heated about 4-5 miles down the hard pack trail. Packed the running boards with snow the one time and had no more problems. We broke the ride up with 3 stops with the longest run being about 25 miles. Let me no how the Gauntlets work.

Hey! I want in on this king of the river thing.So how was the hutchinsons party? Anybody going up for the real party this weekend at Bonnie.And what are the rules to be crowned king?

You'll have to check with Stepper for the current rule book on the King of the River deal. Seems that the rules change depending on which way the wind is blowing, I've yet to figure it out myself.

At one point all you had to do was to show up with your boat and a Tee Shirt.
So I did!

lol. Did someone really have to where that? too funny!

The "King of the River" run started a couple of years back when a certain two individuals could never settle a long ongoing dispute over who's boat was faster. So the rest of us proposed a full santcioned TIBBC race from A-Bay to Singers to put a squash to the squabbling. I volunteered to be the pace boat since one of the racers seemed to have a hard time getting out of the hole. the rest of the gang would be waiting at singer and would be the offical judges and declare the winner. So the race was planed and scheduled to begin just before the Kingston poker run came thru (hence everyone hangin out at Singers) On race day I think it was bird and I went out to the starting line (while the others were at singer). The racers had already left the boat house. So when it was time to go the pace boat had to complete the race by itself and rightfully claimed the title "King of the River". Last years event was a little different, I did manage to retain the title and some one had posted the pics at the end as proof
