I love the Enduro concept...wish we had the terrain to pull an Enduro event off.

Hey Yoopers, getting close. Here's the 'Manual' for Gnome Fest. Important point to remember- no water is available at the camp.

I woke up wearing war paint on Sunday...did we win?
It was a great time, rode my bike in the woods, rode my bike in Lake Superior, good times. Thanks AG for all the planning!

Hi - I am replying to this thread because I met some cool people at Gnome Fest..... I will be in the QC next weekend and would love to ride Sunderbruch Sunday morning if any is interested.

Let me know.

Peace,

Angie - the girl who drank your vodka and needed her chili heated up..... Also - I make a mean vodka red bull and can have a few for Sunday morning :)

Group ride at Sunder, brilliant! SASS and I are in.

[AG]

Hey! Angie, what's shaken! Shall I bring the vodka or the red bull? Good times at Gnome Fest. I'm in for the ride fo sho!

[Angie B]

Awesome! I will bring some hot chocolate and marshmallow vodka as well..... Might be chilly Sunday morning. You name the time. I loved Sunderbruch the one time I rode there..

[jimithng23]

I'm in.

Hi - I'm getting packed up for the weekend. Just wanted to make sure the trails will be open Sunday. We have had quite a bit of rain here.....

[AG]

My crystal ball has always been cloudy but I'm guessing something will be open.

We are planning on having a group ride at Illiniwek Sunday. If we don't get any more rain tomorrow I expect the trails will be dry enough to ride. Check out the details here: http://www.qcforc.org/showthread.php...21-Oct-11-00AM

I don't feel very confident that Sunderbruch will be rideable come tomorrow morning.......

[Bexter]

Illiniwek was slimy today at the work day. Some friends had planned to come up from Peoria tomorrow to ride and I just sent them a message that I think the trails won't be ready. :( It's a close call. Who knows what today's sun will do.

[Chief Illiniwek]

Deb and I went over to the park about 4:30 and the trail were in good shape. She said they were much better than this morning. I would say, at Illinwek at least they will be good for riding by tomorrow.
