Park, it was good meeting you and "Sold" on the exhaust! Contact me thru e-mail. We'll see if we can get this post put with our 2009 posts. Tom, can you help? You have some great pics and I think we should link to your S.E. Oregon ride, too! We'll see you out there soon, I hope! Danno

Wow! I just got home and man, it sure was a long day/week/month etc... I just wanted to thank the crew again for all the hard work! Mike Moore is "Rock Solid", helping with checks and scoring. Dawn Wayne always comes through with sign-up and scoring. Tom and Donna have been a hoot to pre-r...

I'm about ready to pull out and head for Detroit Lake. I won't be on-line there but we do have cell service. For any major questions, try to see if Tawmass can give you an answer... See you there, Danno

Tom loaded up some more pics for me and here are a few of them... The first night there, it was obvious there was a forest fire nearby! Later, the next evening, Randy and I found a neat lake a got a few shots before dark. http://tawm.smugmug.com/photos/642779349_84Lyr-M.jpg http://tawm.smugmug.com/p...

In my earlier message I forgot to tell people to leave me your contact info. Leave your e-mail address and I will e-mail you the GPS info. If you call me at home, please leave a message. The phone number on this page is mainly used by tele-marketers and I sometimes miss it!

I started sending my GPS packets out last night and if you are pre-entered and didn't get yours, please PM me or e-mail me. I've just about completed all the roll charts and a few of us are going out Friday and Saturday for final confirmation. It looks pretty good so far. The weather should be ideal...

I got back yesterday from doing some last minute prep for the course. Randy and I got up to the Detroit area Thursday and found a few things. He had to leave Saturday, but Walt came up Saturday evening. Randy and I did big bike options with his new KTM 990 Adventure (a sweet machine that I better no...

Eric had some good questions... Somewhere in our haste, we (I) forgot to get the Scaredy Cat flyer posted. It is on it's way, but to answer some of Eric's questions... Sign-up starts at 7am, the riders meeting is around 8am with the first riders leaving after the meeting. The cost is $20 pre-paid (i...

Randy, Walt and I are getting ramped up for some more recon work this next weekend. I'm finding new spots, in an area I've always wondered about and I see some interesting roads... I've found some overgrown 2-track and want to get new sections that connect. Unfortunately, some of the coolest roads w...

Here are some of the views you can see in the Detroit area. http://tawm.smugmug.com/photos/625425174_efxKb-M.jpg http://tawm.smugmug.com/photos/622316778_Tq2vm-M.jpg And here's Donna and Dawn, mugging it for Tawm... http://tawm.smugmug.com/photos/622316510_xAmht-M.jpg Notice Tom's muscles? http://ta...

Jimmy "LOVEALL" and I went up to check on a few loop options today. We found some more cool sections. I think this year's course will be higher, farther to the East and more South than any previous Scaredy Cats. I took a few pics and I'll get Tom to help me load them up... I found a view p...

Yesterday Tom, Donna, Dawn, and I did some Scaredy Scoutin’ and found a couple of neat things. I’m planning on doing a long loop to Clear Lake, on the Mckenzie highway. In the spirit of Adventure Touring, you will need a range of 140 -150 miles. This is a concept that I had for this ride, for the l...

Yeah Jimmy, that would be good! I'll bet Gary has one of those at home, now. I bet his has washers that are twice as big, and holes that are twice as small. I bet he can still hit ten out of ten! He's such a pro... Danno

Tom, you know after our discussion with Jimmy Lewis at the ’07 Endurocross, in the Orleans pub, he probably wouldn’t give me the time of day!

I talked to Jimmy L. last night and he will be helping me again at this year's S'Cat ride. He missed last year, due to a very important class reunion (Sharon's 25th,) and he was missed a lot. Jimmy has been a huge help since the very first 'Cat ride in 2005, especially helping with some creative che...
