Title: Mauston a month away
Post by: northernnorm on March 13, 2018, 08:22:54 AM
  Going to ask for  help  setting up  once the weather warms.   I was there  last weekend   =still 2 inches snow lots of places  so froze under that white crap .   Only  a few pretty small trees to cut  -  Not sure if we are going big on the rotational scoring  ,but if  so   we possibly  just need 6 sections  times 4 loops  .   Since  it  is  impossible to use  hilly terrain  without  ending up with sections that are time consuming to walk  .   Hopefully weather is nice  and  a host of people will come out and play ride  on Saturday  .

 GOOD news and BAD news   I found out  Pats commitments with R Y P  have him riding trial  de Spain  in Cali  April 15th   so  its good in that sections will probably end up tamer  less scary not quite boring for champs   and bad  news that he wont be around to see his miracles.  Hopefully some other first class riders  like  Brad/ Phil/ Waldo /Jellenstien  /Hirt  etc.  will be around to  do the wild stuff.  Cheers

Noel is probably stranded up there and that's why we haven't heard from him.  Hope he has enough provisions.

Noel is there right now.  Said they got 4 inches of snow and it is mostly gone now.  Has 7 sections nearly done, so looking good for the event.  See some snow predicted for Sunday, but warming up by Wednesday.  Should end up being a good event, even if winter lasted a little too long.

  Just  a reply   I  have 5  sections 75 %  done  .   so still plenty of work  . snow  gone  on flats  -driveway and field   its shrinking  in woods  but  still unrideable  so  I headed  home     will be able to finish  Thursday through Saturday no problem. bigger issue comes  if  I have to back off  the top lines if some reason  it Is still too slick

   I stopped and invited  Jay from Jays power in Reedsburg to come out   and promote  his new Gas Gas  dealership.   So hopefully  he will be  offering demo rides on the enduro models after the trials  sunday.  He said they would probably floor  a few trials models soon also.

Might get some rain next week.  Rain can be a good thing post frost to settle the ground and get rid of the slickeries.  I am hoping to try and get there Thursday or Friday.


Title: Re: Mauston a month away
Post by: northernnorm on April 06, 2018, 07:04:29 PM
   That would be great     we need to do a LOT Thursday and Friday  hope you can make  it  ,,  LOTS of leaves to move   I have a super  backpack blower  its  e z  to run but sucks to try to navigate  my damn steep slopes  often its  hard footing as   too wet or too dry  makes  a challenge  .  keep track of forecast   I imagine that will have  a factor in when  outdoor work is suitable  so far it has been garbage for weather   Im pissed  I stuck around here for this  horse crap    should have hit a mountain or island  oh well don't have the money anyway

  ALSO   I got  a call from a GUY WANTING TO  REVIVE THE WIERD  RGN SERIES which tracks events of all types but u ride same bike  so he requested  hed like to use Mauston   which would mean knobby class   stuff -  guys  on 250 to 450 enduro bikes trying to ride our novice line..  Kevin and I  thought  maybe  we could live without the noise and destruction that would likely cause  .   Maybe  promoter will come and check it out  and possibly   do it later in year

   FOR STEVE_  current weather underground forecast has Friday being 65 % chance of 3/4 inch rain  Baraboo area   so  for now it may be Thursday will be best day t o get stuff done  the poorer forecast has Sat  still up to 1/2 inch rain  then around freezing sat nite then low 40s and clouds Sunday   so   kind of sketchy ,youd think we had enough garbage weather  for  march and April  but  a  big break to warmer  is  not happening.  No Mosquitos at least

Don't suppose there's any chance of moving this back until the following weekend?  The weather looks horrible.


Title: Re: Mauston a month away
Post by: khub on April 12, 2018, 09:07:15 AM
Due to cold very cold, ice and 1 to 3 inch snow Saturday with more snow Sunday we are delaying the Mauston event 1 week to April 22nd

Geez, nobody has ever listened to me before...


Title: Re: Mauston a month away
Post by: club95 on April 13, 2018, 09:28:29 AM
And probably a good thing they did listen to you. The weather report here just 4 to 8 inches of snow between tonight and Sunday afternoon was some freezing rain thrown in to keep it interesting.  May be a bit different for Mauston, but likely not enough to make it much better  ???

  Now the concern is how much precip falls as ICE on my precious trees   have  seen lots of broken mess  before  ..  We have 7  mostly done  and I leaf blew  everything  so rain could firm up sand   wasn't too bad  of riding yesterday after  small amount of sleet quit falling    All week    still night time temps below freezing  this is crazy  at least a few days  are  maybe hitting 50    wow
