depends on how many people are going, and where the majority want to meet up. I live in Leclaire so I would be getting on I-80 right there. Maybe if everyone wanted to meet at the Flying J truckstop at Northwest Boulvard exit. That way everyone can gas up, get refreshments, etc before the day. I suggest we all meet up in the "RV Parking" area which is on the left hand side of the truckstop. What do you guys think?

I am planning on going with the Two Rivers ATV club up to Solon, IA next weekend for their club ride. They are leaving the UBC in davenport @ 8:00am on sat. if anybody wants to go with.  I won't be able to go on the 16th since that's when I'm taking my wife out for Valentine's day. |

I hear there will be candy and flowers!! ;D Thanks for the heads up on the club ride but most of us on here are already either members or ex-members of that club so we are already aware of their rides. |

Okay we are meeting at the Flying J Truckstop at the Northwest Blvd exit on I-80 at 9am. This place requires IA Regstriation, and there is some rules about children, so check to make sure your little ones are able to go. IA Residents have to go down to the DHS building downtown to register, and out of state riders can purchase your stickers anywhere Hunting and Fishing licenses are sold (Walmart, some gas stations, etc.) I have heard that the Caseys right outside of the park sell ATV Stickers. PM me for my phone number in case you might be running late, or want to meet along the way somewhere.

What do you guys think it is going to be like next weekend? I heard we are supposed to get more snow by then! I think it should be fun, and the trails should be packed down by then.

so who is still planning on going? I am planning on going still! I heard Cadman might bring his SNOWPLOW to plow some trails! With that being said, the "there is too much snow" may not be used as a EXCUSE!  |

With that being said, the "there is too much snow" may not be used as a EXCUSE! Yes this is true I do plan on leaving my plow on my quad but I don't think we will need it! I think with all the people that are going we should pack down the snow quickly! I have 3 utility's and 1 sporty going with me alone. What's a little snow! This kind of snow was one of the reasons I bought my quad! Not to be a sissy and stay home! I'll be there! |
