Sheesh, all that info and not one mention of paying District 16 dual sport points!!

Hey, does the Big Woods pay District 16 Dual Sport points?

Let's see motorcycles, riding on all kinds of surfaces:ride: your choice of what you ride:thumbsup: just don't be loud:blah: then there's food, bonfire, beer, and a couple hundred friendly people who are interested in the same sport I am. No that couldn't be any fun at all.

Just signed up today I'm pretty pumped!

Yes, we have a guy that can count to 20 that is keeping track of that for the club-

This is new for this year in District 16- it is based on participation and not competative per event- kinda show up and finish or not. I think there is a poker run randomness that settles the ties.

You have to be an AMA Member and a District 16 AMA member to "compete" for Dualsport points...you only have to be an AMA member to simply ride the BigWoods 200- just so no one gets these things confused...

here's the schedual:

I promise to have the poker run crap figured out before I head up there for the BW200!

Be advised that some of those events listed are road riding poker runs, not dual sport events.

In that schedual I posted yes: PR is poker run, DS is dual sport- they are grouped together by district 16 as "ROAD", and I believe that you get points for riding either event type so if you have a ADV bike and complete poker runs and a DS bike and do Dual Sports you should be able to collect points for all of them and get credit (can't "win" if you don't play")- I do not believe D16 has PR and DS separate in terms of point counting. Contact D16 for more info on that... NANCY L... is the Referee/ Points Keeper for "Road". But the finite details of all that is not a WIDSR issue as much as letting people know its existance and that attendance to the BIGWOODS 200 pays points towards it.

Just come ride the BIGWoods, you get a T-shirt and a steak if you sign up and show up- clearly if you add motorcycle, trail, steak, then beer- consecutively: its a good time: that's all you need to say.

all rumors.

just a second let me get that fishing hook outa my mouth....

Yea its a great group of guys, well... for the most part:busted: you have to ride the thing a few times to make sure it is set up- so riding with a group of guys of simular interests- is a good time. Sure it can be alot of work- and we need guys that plan to work before play but its all fun if you like woods and appreciate what is being done. If you want to help out- sing up at the website.

Well, we had a great work weekend- scouted and prooffed milage- great conditions-

Next work weekend is mainly single track/ Hero section clearing and arrowing and riding it to set the line.

The actual ride should be a blast- we keep finding more grass two track to tie into and replace gravel and ATV trail. Fun stuff.

Benrod327, are you staying over at the cabin, or in Wabeno?

Bump/reminder. The ride is filling up fast, looks like it will definitely hit the limit again this year, so sign up soon if you want to ride!

It could be a cold one. 34 F the last two mornings. Took the CBR to work today and Tuesday. Wow - fall has arrived.

yep- fall is here- soon it will be gone too. Ride while you can... Bring a sweatshirt to where around the camp fire... Days still shouldn't be bad- perfect if you are doing hero sections- but lets not talk about weather too much we have been very lucky the past few rides. That being said- NO ONE BRING RAIN GEAR:busted:

BTW: If you are waiting for a confirmation of your ride entry - it's coming, we're juuuust a bit behind.

Once again we have a full ride. Registration is closed, so now it's just the waiting till the event weekend!!
