Sweetheart run?

[goodburbon]

How would you guys like to hold an event around Mid February and call it a sweetheart event?

The weekend before or after Valentines is what I was thinking.

Thinking of Gilmer because it is close to a large number of us and we could get some practice planning a wheeling event. This would be considered an official run, perhaps with a raffle and cookout on Saturday night.

Thoughts?

Dude thats gay.

[Ramsey]

Nothing wrong with gay, as long as it doesnt penetrate me. I would love for us to have our first official club run(have we had one yet?) anyways we need to get something together.

No we haven't had one, and it is time to start planning one. If you don't like the idea suggest an alternative.

Wasn't there a BIG thinmg on the web about making Feb 15 the official "Steak and BJ Day". :laugh: Why not have a S&B run on the 15th or shortly after.

Megarun is on March 1st at Gilmer...

[Ramsey]

I don't think we would want ours to clash with that. I wouldnt mind having something a bit earlier.

[goodburbon]

So a steak and BJ run then?

[Only In A Jeep XJ]

I like the idea of a sweetheart run. A few years ago L.S.J.C. had a Valitins run but the kicker was you other half had ta drive.

[goodburbon]

Screw that, she drives all the time anyway.

[Ramsey]

I'm smart enough not to have another half. The name isn't that important, we need a date asap.

[BIgDaddyChia]

What about the end of januray or the first weekend in March. How many days are we planning this to be.

[goodburbon]

Friday afternoon thru Sunday noonish is what I was thinking, but as to

"How many days are we planning this to be." we haven't yet, this is the planning :D

Jan is usually cold and wet there, but I'm game.

[ExTankerGuy]

I'm planning a trip to Hot Springs in March...(spring break time frame) How about meeting up there...

[Ramsey]

I like hot springs better, but gilmer is more central and would probably give a better turn out.

[goodburbon]

What ramsey said x2

We need a small close event to kick things off, but we're gonna need more than just 3 people to get this party started. While three can run it, it won't be much of an event, it'll be more like a few of us getting together for a trail run.

[Kendrik]

I officially nominate March 22 - 23 as the date of our run. I should have my annual bonus by then, so I'll be cash-flush and ready to spend it! :)

It also puts a few weeks between our run and the MegaRun, so we don't burn people out.

This would be in Gilmer, TX at BMRA (see the Google Map if you're corn-fused).

Although, I see that General Sam's is pretty well situated as a possible location, too. Any Houston locals have any experience there? Is it worth considering?

[Dirt]

I'll wheel if it's in Hot Springs. I've got a run in early june with some other fellas (at Clayton) so, I wouldn't be able to make it if it's too close then. March sounds about right though.


FWIW..

[Ramsey]

A run yes, wheeling in clayton, I doubt you will.

[HaleYes]

Pardon me...If I may....

Usually, isn't it MEMBERS that do the event planning?

:D


Hale

[Ramsey]

pssh, why are you always talking about my member?

[BIgDaddyChia]

Hale


Pardon me if I may. Are you lost :D

[HaleYes]

Pardon me if I may. Are you lost :D

You may not.
:twak:

[goodburbon]

March 22-23 is easter weekend next year. I personally would love to wheel that weekend, but I don't know that we'll be able to draw a crowd since many people like to be with family on easter.

[Ramsey]

Yeah easter wouldn't be doable for me.

[HaleYes]

Yeah easter wouldn't be doable for me.
Can I be your sweetheart anyway?

[90Blue_XJ]

Gilmer is probably more do-able because, as already mentioned it is a little more central to the majority of members. It sounds ok to me but we need to set the date pretty soon or many of the members have to plan the time of from work very early to be guaranteed that they will get the days they request off.
Ramsey are you ever gonna pay up and be a member?????Or are all your extra funds going into terrorist activities?????

[Ramsey]

Can I be your sweetheart anyway?
Always baby.

Other mike, don't know if i'll reup or not.

[razdrvr]

I'm always lookin for an excuse to play in the dirt. Count me in.

[Ramsey]

Come on officer sirs, nail down a date like a drunk girl on prom night.

[goodburbon]

I nominate the weekend of March 14,15,16 For an "Ides of March" run. Complete with toga party.

Any objections speak now







(Toga party optional)

[Ramsey]

Are pants required?

[BIgDaddyChia]

I second that weekend

[Dirt]

Where at? Hot Springs?



I second optional pants.

[Ramsey]

I second optional pants.
Gilmer I believe, not worth the several hour drive you'll have to make. Unless you just want to come cuddle.

[goodburbon]

OK the weekend of march 15th it is.

[Dirt]

In Hot Springs? Or are you two gonna rough it in TX? :gay:

[BIgDaddyChia]

Id say barnwell or hot springs.

[goodburbon]

I like hot springs a lot more than Barnwell, but barnwell is several hours closer to way more members. In the interest of having a good turnout it will be in Gilmer.

[2lazy2p]

Ok Gilmer, closer. Not as good, but a good place to start.
