2006 RAT DOG OFFICIALLY CANCELLED!

Postby Tawmass » Sat Aug 05, 2006 5:01 pm

Folks,
On our recon ride today, we finally had to come to the conclusion that it would be best to cancel the events for this year. We are terribly sorry to come to this conlusion, but the fire danger, associated road closures, land-manager issues and conflicts with the Hood-To-Coast Run have culminated with a frustrating and fruitless endeavor for both the Rat Dog and Horny Wolf Rides. We don't take this decision lightly, as this is the first time in 15 years we've cancelled a ride. For those of you that have pre-entered, we will cheerfully refund your money or reserve it for next year's Rat Dog. Just let me know your preference (email me directly).

NOTE: to clear any confusion, the Lobos' Horny Wolf is officially cancelled also!

We urge you to help support our loss of events and partake in our upcoming Scaredy Cat Ride (along with the Oregon_DSR's Cascade 150)! CLICK HERE to find out about them!

Again, we are very sorry for any inconvenience!

CLICK HERE to see the pictures from today's ride, which was all about closed gates. :cry:
regards,
-Tom Niemela

If its any consilation at all
You did a really great job on the Black Dawg this year

i mean i came up there expecting, well less than the last few years
and to hang out at the campground a bit

but you had turned the ride around from the last several years
and got us back up very near bonnie level trail

perhaps you need a bonnie meadowes decorder ring to decipher???

you just turn the little knobbie dealie
and when it lines up with the giggle factor
whatever thingama bobbie
you punch its little co ord in nutz in ~~~~~!!!

well life just seems just like a fresh bucket of Margrete Ritas ~ about now
and i must go off and slow ride
with the ladies

will bin Rydin do 59 seconds???
twenty twenty nudes will report

shortly

Oh No !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bin Rydin
GOES DOWN
in the first corner...

it looks bad

Rita did a face plant
and Margerita got prondged up on a hay bale
within inches of their lives...

reporter bonnie meadowes is aghast

bin is picking itself up
depronging from the wreckage of Margar Rita
and defaceing the deshevelveled Rita

he kicks them once, twice, till he turns red in the face
(see twenty twenty nudes tape)

then he remembers he once thought about getting an electric start bike

and now a brilliant crimson
he fires the XR 250 beast off

"good By Dear's"

a total time of 32 seconds posted

one wonders as the birds fly around his helmet
are they vultures
or is he just crazy?

Tom,

Sorry to hear about the cancellation of the Rat Dog (& Horny Wolf). I was really looking forward to them! Just put my pre-entry toward next year's event.
