I usually setup camp and then go riding until the night time activities start. Epic riding bands and people all around on that run.

Yes, crowds are not his thing.... It's not fights, that wouldn't be an issue for him; or the drunks, they are fine, just having a good time. It's the waiting in lines, traffic, wading through the people just to get a beer, etc... he gets a little impatient at times. He's not crazy about sleeping on the ground anymore either (even with an air mattress). I guess he has been there done that and not into it so much anymore. The crowd there is very mixed, young to old from doctors and dentists to old hippies who have dropped out and everything in between. Some we have a lot in common with, others not so much.

We did have a good time and met some nice folks camped next to us last time we went (2007) though.

But the ride up and around there is beautiful. He would rather go when the Run isn't there. I have to light a fire under his *** sometimes to get him to go to these things!

Anytime...

You live very close to me and we have probably passed one another on the road more than once.
I can be found at Bones Roadhouse In Pleasant Valley on most any Sunday around noon nursing a hangover chomping on a burger.
Shoot me a PM and I'll buy you a beer

Bringing it back from the dead to see who went. The OL and I road up Thursday and spent the night in Willits. Friday was a blast. Real sweet bartender lady kept us loaded at the top of the hill. Ended up leaving for home Saturday morning though. It was too damn cold for the thin bags we brought and too cold for the OL to want to make our own heat. Lol.
