Wanted to see if there are any locals out there that are planning to continue to ride this winter..

(dudeman) · (dudeman) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 11-22-2005, 5:29 AM

I'll ride. How many on your crew. If you don't mind an old ass peep that really sucks, but the crashes are awesome to watch. Nobody does a better face plant, nobody.

Nice pic Tick! No go on the pic, Should have been there yesterday for the polar express ride! Nothing like Winter when the sun goes down. Thought I was going to have to set the teak on fire to stay warm!

Heading to Belews tomarrow(Sunday). Look and listen for a pretty blue and white BU.

rddc 11-29-2005, 1:24 PM

melanie, did you get any riding time in Sunday? It was raining pretty bad at times, just curious to see how it went - as warm as it is today that's where we all should be

rddc 11-29-2005, 1:40 PM

Here's Tickle's boat - I hope the pic works

(dudeman) · (dudeman) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 11-29-2005, 5:36 PM

I've seen that boat out before. Hopefully we can hook up soon.

rddc 11-30-2005, 6:26 AM

Who all is game for a Saturday session? Make sure to bring the suits (wet or dry) if you got em. Let me know when you get a chance.

(showtime) · (showtime) **Join Date: Nov 2005** 11-30-2005, 6:56 AM

Count me in, maybe we can head out around 9 or 10... how bout you randy.. momma bear gonna let you outta the house.. mikey, same for you...

(dudeman) · (dudeman) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 11-30-2005, 9:04 AM

If you don't mind a third, count me in, you guys will kick my ass but I have fun. Momma bear always growls but that's okay. What do you need, gas, cash, beer, just name it and the place. I'm guessing Carolina Marina?

rddc 11-30-2005, 10:00 AM

Randy, I am sure we will meet at Carolina Marina around 10 or so - i may be a little late, but I'll be there - We are riding in Tickle's boat so I will let him tell you what to bring - Don't underestimate your riding skills around us dude - we all envy Mike and Josh!!

(showtime) · (showtime) **Join Date: Nov 2005** 11-30-2005, 10:17 AM

Carolina Marina it is.. The boat will be full but a little gas $$ is always nice but never asked for.. We will confirm on fri., time etc.. Beer sounds great -- i will pack a cooler -- what's your choice?? Don't let Ryan fool you either.. He's a class act.. We are all pretty new to the sport, but have a great of love for it as anyone.... I look forward to seeing all of you there...

(dudeman) · (dudeman) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 11-30-2005, 10:23 AM

Sweet. Sounds like I'll learn alot. Too many other extreme sports(motorcycle roadracing and skydiving accidents have taken a toll on a extremely abused body)but it's all good. I'll bring some $$$ for gas and some Bud Light or Mich Ultra, your call.

rddc 11-30-2005, 10:38 AM

I'm pumped up guys is it Friday yet? I will bring a cooler as well and as always the 6 gallon can. Randy, it should be a good time, if one thing is certain we always have a ton of fun. I'll bring the camera!!

(dudeman) · (dudeman) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 11-30-2005, 10:47 AM

I can bring a can myself or the $$$. Let me know. Pics will be hilarious. You guys will be laughing your ass off at someone old enough to be your dad.

(showtime) · (showtime) **Join Date: Nov 2005** 11-30-2005, 11:02 AM

i just wish i could get my dad out there... i told him he could still prime 1st primings, he could wakeboard... a can is fine.. and bud light is the choice.. Pretty nice out there today, and i bet over in frt of lake point it is slick as glass...

(dudeman) · (dudeman) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 11-30-2005, 2:36 PM

Don't worry. I won't show up with a cane. I'm actually pretty athletic. Just haven't had the opportunity to ride with anyone good so I lack the technique. Tore a stomach muscle 3 weeks ago and went out 4 days later in pain just to be on the water. Hurt like hell, but if you're not any good, you've gotta be tough. Can't wait.

(melanie) · (melanie) **Join Date: Apr 2001** 11-30-2005, 2:52 PM

Randy, Nope. Got rained out.

(dudeman) · (dudeman) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 11-30-2005, 3:54 PM

Melanie. Cool new profile pic.

(nauty_tique) · (nauty_tique) **Join Date: Nov 2005** 11-30-2005, 4:52 PM

Thanks applesauce

(showtime) · (showtime) **Join Date: Nov 2005** 11-30-2005, 9:56 PM

melanie, how often do you all head up this way... how warm are the lakes there???

(melanie) · (melanie) **Join Date: Apr 2001** 12-01-2005, 5:43 AM

Never been to Belews. A pack of friends tend to go there quite often though. I've always gone to Hyco for warmer water. Watch for a nice new blue BU, thats them.
Falls, my local lake is about empty. Its Raleighs drinking water and its about 7 feet lower than normal. SO! Havent been in a while but i'm sure its drysuit water temps.

(showtime) · (showtime) **Join Date: Nov 2005** 12-01-2005, 6:33 AM

is the BU clue and black w/ a black tower??? never been to Hyco, but i hear it's a pretty nice lake -- belews is just so close to the house.. small, but pretty warm water for this time of year...

(showtime) · (showtime) **Join Date: Nov 2005** 12-02-2005, 6:36 AM

we still on for tomorrow... weather is looking cool and windy w/ little sun....

(dudeman) · (dudeman) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 12-02-2005, 7:13 AM

I saw that. You make the call. It will definitely be a little cold. I have a Jet Pilot top and separate shorts and that's it. No full suit or dry suit. Not sure what you guys have. Will definitely have to nut it up.

(showtime) · (showtime) **Join Date: Nov 2005** 12-02-2005, 8:12 AM

i've got a full dry suit, and the other 2 have full wet suits... hate to call in a no-go -- but acc to the weather chnl, tomorrow is colder than today, w/ no sun -- sun is out now and a little chilly... i'll let you know for sure in a few hrs when i converse...

(showtime) · (showtime) **Join Date: Nov 2005** 12-02-2005, 12:50 PM

randy,, just shot you a mail

(dudeman) · (dudeman) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 12-03-2005, 8:28 AM

Josh, typical accuweather. It's nice here. No wind, sun and not that cold. Outside in a tshirt. We could have been killin' it.

(showtime) · (showtime) **Join Date: Nov 2005** 12-03-2005, 12:49 PM

yeah, just got in the house -- been outside all day... sleeting out there now though--- but we should have went -- my fault, atleast i did get quite a bit done around the house....

rddc 12-03-2005, 1:10 PM

Well guess what dudes, close to 60 degrees tomorrow with a chance of rain now @ 40%. Sounds like an afternoon session tomorrow. Randy, are you in? Tickle, Mikey and myself are getting together tonight for supper - I am sure we will get something arranged for tomorrow afternoon - let us know if anyone else is in!!!!

(dudeman) · (dudeman) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 12-03-2005, 1:47 PM

I might be able to swing that. Momma bear is working tomorrow and she's at work right now getting things setup for tomorrow. I'll talk to her when she gets back and throw up a post, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm in.

(dudeman) · (dudeman) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 12-03-2005, 2:45 PM

What time are you guys headed out? I'm working things out with the wife since she's working. My son's good, but he has a friend spending the night. I'm already stoked and ready to ride.

(showtime) · (showtime) **Join Date: Nov 2005** 12-04-2005, 6:49 AM

Sweet. Congrats Colt. Wish I could have been there and met everyone. I'm all in next weekend, no excuses. Told my wife to get healthy and no work, cause I'm headed to the lake if it happens. Glad the weather and water cooperated.
