Scaredy Scouting
I'm going to try and get up to the Detroit Lake area and find the new loop that I want to add this year. Weather permitting, I should have some good pictures to post. Remember that your pre-entry will get you a GPS packet a week early. Also, in that packet you will have maps with destinations (check...

Scaredy Cat '09 Info
Our '09 Scaredy Cat is just about a month away. We'll be staging from the Fox Creek site that we've used the last couple of years. It's 6 miles from Detroit and the map is on the Scaredy Cat page. I'm planning on a new loop, a little farther south, this year. We'll also have some of the same routes ...

One of my Top Tens!
Last night I got home from one of the best rides I've ever been on! I just found out that everyone else made it home safe, also. We had a couple of flat tires (with the chase truck there, how fortunate is that), a leaky radiator, a few pinched wires, and a loose turn signal... No crashes or scary, n...

I spent a day following Bert...
Barrett, was Bert riding the IT490 with the shaved seat then? I spent a day riding with those guys in the early eighties! As a newbie to off-road riding, I was so impressed with how those "Old Guys" got around on the trails. That has always made me think, "I want to be able to do that...

Another Great Year!
Vernon, those are some great pictures! Your captions are even better... It was good seeing you and Andy again, and it always makes my day to see Amy! Did you used to be really good looking, to get such a babe? Lee, everyone missed you! I know it must have been (Bin) a big reason for you not to have ...

Black Dog Dual Sport Snapshot in American Motorcyclist!
A big Thanks and a tip of the visor to Kim Clark for plugging the Black Dog ride at Mt. Hood! In the May 2009 American Motorcyclist, the magazine you get with your AMA dues, there is a great shot of Clark's bike with Mt. Hood in the background, on page 6. Come up and ride the most popular dualsport ...

Whoa, that's a lot a Snow!
Wow, Vernon you have some serious snow pack! We have way too much here, too! But I don't care how much snow you have, Amy still looks hot! In fact, she makes you look better, too. Way to keep riding and keeping your skills honed! God Bless you both and have a Merry Christmas! Danno

The '08 Scaredy Ride is Done!
We had another good year for the 'Cat in the beautiful Detroit Or. area. We'll have ride reports and pictures coming later, but first I wanted to thank everyone that came up this year. We even had folks show up that couldn't ride but just wanted to say hi. You people, who are the riders, are the rea...

Gifts and Trophies!
I just got back from Beaverton Honda Yamaha with some goodies for our ride. Ron Rice did the trophies and sent them in with his son, Travis, who works at BHY. Sherry Aiello put together a great gift package, also left with Travis. So I have a nice box of 10 trophies, thanks to Affordable Trophies an...

The 'Cat is getting close!
Everyone, I'm getting close to being done with everything I need for this year's Scaredy Cat. I spent all last weekend camped near Detroit Lake and have most everything in order. We will be at the Fox Creek Group site, again this year. It is dry camping with vault restrooms. I will have about an ext...

Long Days and Long Miles
Dale and I got back into town last night. The last few days have been a blur so there hasn't been time for updates. Here are some boring math stats for now... My GPS sez we did 1,959 miles in the last 4 days. We were like a horse heading for the barn! Everyone will tell you that happens and I don't ...

We're on the Road Again!
After a nice layover in Anchorage, we are finally heading back towards home. We had a great time there, staying with Kelly and Kathy. They are friends of Dale's and were excellent hosts. We had a wonderful time to recouperate. It's Saturday night and I hope I'm in Oregon a week from today! We camped...
