Faceslappers have met its demise yesterday. I'm sure I didn't get all of them, but I live close so post up about the worst offending areas and I can go trim them from time to time.

Just got off the trail. Was a little slick/sandy in a few remote areas. But overall very fast, and very fun.
What are all those pointy rings on the back wheel for? And why do you have so many more than me?

I saw them on the ground and I thank you sir.

A little moisture in the dirt and it was tacky enough for a great ride.

Lots of head-smackers and face-scratchers in the Pines.

Getting a little dusty out there, could actually use rain in some places.

I saw you riding today, utabintarbo. Why would you be worried about dust or head-smackers at that speed :twisted:

I'm j/k... I'm thinking about riding with a pollution mask at the pumptrack until we get some rain. I can't dig in this weather, and riding is a dust storm!

What's the status at Novi regarding entry fee? Are they manning the gatehouse yet? I haven't ridden it in a few years, but remember getting there early, (9-9:30), and not having to pay because no one was on duty yet. Is that still the case?
Chocolate is the answer. The question is pretty much irrelevant.

Rode there this morning (between rain fronts). I showed up at 10am, talked to some guys just finishing there ride and they had to pay. My buddies arrived after me and had to pay, but I did not as there was no one in the shack. I guess the attendants were on a coffee break when I pulled in.
Bottom line, they're charging now.

They charge between Memorial Day & Labor Day. If you get there before 9 a.m. you're usually safe; after 6:00 p.m. You're usually safe. It can be a crap shoot though. Buy a $30.00 annual pass & you'll never have to worry.

Remember - 16 hours of work on the trail earns an annual pass also. If your looking for things to do, PM Walleyed or myself for ideas.
