   With only 2 weekends until 9/11,12  events   I am hoping  I can roundup some people to help set  sections at Carpenter rd.  My problem is  both weekends are not fully open. This weekend  we head to the Indy Endurocross  so  being gone Thurs through Sat    so only day would be Sunday   otherwise  the labor day weekend I have to be home on Sunday for our annual pond party   so  I would be looking at   the Friday and  Sat morn to  set stuff  ...   reply  if you might have time to come out.  cheers.

Noel and Jim,
Going to Ottawa Sunday and have to work Labor day weekend (Saturday thru Tuesday) but am planning on pulling the camper to Baraboo Wednesday Sept 8.  Will help at Mountain Road and/or Mauston, whichever still needs work on Wednesday afternoon, Thursday and Friday.  Plan on moving the camper to the Mauston pits on Friday and make it my home base for the weekend.  Don't know if others will camp at Mountain Road or Mauston Saturday night.  Hope some can join me at Mauston.

    I will be let you know if I head up on WED or THURS but would be pleased to host early arrivals . I am heading up this week probably Thurs through Sat so will be getting probably 75% of trial done  , I could plan to save some Youth th Adv  spots if you would like to design some entire sections  ,,   if we have it finished there is always freeriding and practice so  come on up.  Noel

I'm planning to head up on Saturday (4th) or Monday (6th) to help Jim out.  If we finish up there I'd be happy to help out at Mauston as well.  I probably won't be very useful in setting up sections, but I can bring and run a string trimmer and chainsaw.

Jim

I can only get off wednesday ...originally planed on going to MT.  Rd.....soI will go there unless not .....could just proof read sctions and lines then go on up to mauston....Jim V. let me know Mon  or Tues .....Ralph

and if we have 67 people looking at this why can't we get more help out of you guys that know what is needed to get this done!

Jim .......It could just be  the same 5 guys checking out what is going on  ::)....how many times have you clicked on this thread?

Jim and Noel I will call tues. night to see where I am most needed............Ralph

  Not sure if it works that way Ralph  I  close  and open and reclick  and the view # doesnt change BUT the page that comes up  says  read  blank times  goes up  ?    ,.,, Anyway  I am heading up today through Sat  midday.  If anyone  can show up great  .   Next week  I will go Thursday  but Wed  is not planned  as I will stay till Sunday .  cell # 2623253554  will check it throughout my stay .  Normally on site unless  heading to town for food. 

You'd be amazed at how many hits on this website aren't even people who are currently riding D16 trials events (I myself am in that group).

A much better place to spot potential workers is the 2010 points spreadsheet.  Here's some stats:  Of D16 points earning riders this year 13 riders have earned worker points this year.   Excluding the Youth class (though aren't they potential workers too?), there are 12 riders who have attended 3 or more events but not earned any worker points yet.  More than half - that's actually better than I thought it would be.   But I see Ralph that you are one of the non-earners, and so is Bryan M.

Here's an idea.  Collect $100 at a riders 3rd event for the year (don't scare away people who just want to try a trials event to see if they like it).  When they earn their worker points, they get the full $100 back.  You can distribute the left-over money to the event promoters as an incentive to come back and do it again next year.

I see that Rick Condron once again does not have worker points even though i helped for 3 days prior to Wauzeka.

Even though he shouldn't need the points in the youth class, Cory did come with me a couple days and was a good helper.  However, let's not scare riders away by making working manditory.  We still want good turnouts and not everyones schedule allows them the time.

Sorry for not helping, but I haven't had time to ride, much less set up events.  It does not help that I am 2 to 3 hours away.

Thanks to those who are doing it.  Especially Ralph, coming from IL. 

And i am not even from wisconsin,haha.

Kevin I agree with you that we dont want to scare any body away.....you are also correct in that Work scheudles , inurys and just plain were people are in their lives comes into play........and Rick I'm sure that we just need to contact the right person to have your worker points situation corrected.

Already done!

Jim, do you mean you are done with Mt Road seatup?  If so you must have been working hard this week.  How's Mauston going.  Still planning on showing up Wednesday and can check on the sections if you want me to. Then I can play on the rocks that aren't in the sections at both places.

no, got the points up dated for  Cory and Mcoy for helping at the farm. 

      On a related note  I have c ome up with an incentive to get sections at least partly torn down at the end of the day, I will be labeling a handful of plates with SMAGICAL.COM  and those plates are good for a prize ,,like a DVD  or  ?      I have 9 ADV EX CH sections done   and 4 are all rides also  still need 2 or more Int  and down set. 

Sorry Noel, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to help at all.  Spent all day yesterday at Mt. Road and chances are pretty slim that I'll make it back up to the area before the events.  I'll make sure to help as much as possible with tear down.

On the plus side... we got a lot done at the Mt. Road site yesterday.  Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced lines are set up for the 8 sections.  The creek crossing that was washed out has been repaired and a bunch of brush from fallen trees was cleaned up on the loop.  Jim is going to do a youth line that is separate from novice and is going to set up the expert and champ lines with Ralph on Wednesday.

Jim

Noel, I'll gladly make the last few Int/Nov sections when I get there later this week.  Will just need some ribbon and arrows from you or Jim.  Will call Jim when I get there Wednesday and see how much help he needs too.

   I have everything there needed  for supplies ,so  if I get there  I will work on my deck and finishing the loop.
