March Mudness 2015

looks like the ride will live up to its name

Yep! I do believe it will be wet. And dirt and you gots mud...

I like the forecast!

We're trying to put together a small group of 2-4 guys to head that way next weekend. Been to HM several times and have wandered aimlessly on some of the outlaw trails as well. How many people do you generally get on the rides?

Come on JoJo.  This is one of the big ones.  We'll start Wednesday with maybe 5 and probablee have 25 on Saturday.  We are known to break into groups and even sub groups.  One year we left with maybe 20, lost 8 before the first stop, then 4 more at the second stop.  We were riding too slow for a couple QQR'ers..  

Wacker can explain!

That was a big group one day on the 2013 March Mudness Ride...
So we just broke into a 'sub group' I think you called it.

JoJo where you staying at ? We try and meet up at Mountain Top Cabins
between 9 - 9:30 each morning to head out.

We haven't booked anything yet, and will probably wait till Sunday or Monday to do so. I'll call mountaintop and see if they have anything available. Giving everyone a chance to make nicey nice with their wives this weekend so we can go play next weekend. As it stands now, not even sure how many are going, so really can't book anything yet. If not mountaintop, we'll probably just go to Ashland. I downloaded the gps maps, so we won't be wandering aimlessly anymore, but roughly, how long does it take to ride from Ashland over to there?

I gotta get some pics on my profile, you guys are all fancy profiles and I'm just the circus clown!!

Mountain Top is sold out.  Dale's Place is sold out.  Quite a few folks already at Ashland.  Best tighten up. LOL  It takes about 10 minutes by road from Ashland to MTC.  You can take all day via trials!!

Where are you coming in from, what do you ride, etc so on and so forth...

We'll take the road!! Coming from the heart of the snowbelt in NE Ohio. Still have about 3 feet of snow on the ground and was -6 this morning, so the forecast of 50 degrees and rain is gonna be like going to the beach. Right now, it's just two sxs's coming. Possibly another sxs coming and/or a quad or two.

As if we needed more proof, the time changed early this morning. Mudness is the first 'weekend' after the time change.

Mudness is upon us!

OK so you arranged for the time change. Now see if you can get the water turned off

Don't expect much, but I'll see what I can Mr Ed.

Change in plan. I'm leaving for WV now. See you people there!

Rain, Rain, go away come again another day

Stuff is starting to leak out.  Here is a video by Roger D Productions.

The water was high Wednesday. John took his Terex across but it was clear the creeks were a no go.





Photobucket is giving me a fit. More later!

Nice pictures Lee and Punisher, thanks for posting them.  I like the GPS tracks.

First break and getting a head count at Jake's store.


First ride with the new set of mudflaps... They're awesome and worth the money,
We can finally get into the cooler and bed without digging through a layer of mud.


Everyone took advantage of the "Radiator Wash Station"




Heading towards Welch for lunch  



Stopped to meet DJ750 for a late breakfast...
It was called "Benedict's Cousin"
(Two country-style sausage patties, two fresh eggs on flaky biscuits
smothered in delicious sausage gravy and served with home fries)


"Good Times"

pictures and ride, thanks everyone for the memories

Saturday. I wasn't there. I'm both sad and glad!
