MCR3 planning

cruzila · August 20, 2002, 07:55:15 AM

OK at least we can start here...........

Brandon · August 20, 2002, 08:30:45 AM

registration with a tshirt, plaque, and runs the day before..

I'll be trail boss for the night run to buck..

cruzila · August 20, 2002, 09:02:23 AM

I liked the Course thing but last year thought it should be an overnighter. Logistically, A run to Buck could leave people out on trail when the BBQ/raffle is going on. I like all the ideas. It is a good thing there is a year to plan the next one. Also the BBQ should be done in the bowl if we are keeping in the August timeframe.

Brandon · August 20, 2002, 10:19:50 AM

cruise to buck friday night and get up sat morning to go back to the bowl, no problemo..

That can be one run, you can run the one that goes from the bowl to ellis

(j/k)

Better yet, start the trail runs after the raffle maybe so people have to lug the cool prizes along, nah that wouldn't be too good cause we need to know the broken person for the award. Maybe move it to sunday with runs friday night and saturday?

cruzila · August 20, 2002, 12:02:05 PM

Yeah I've heard that before though. It does not always work that way.

We had a run on Rubithon once that started at 10 AM Saturday and got into the springs at 3:30AM

:thud:Sunday

We (Marlin and I) have already planned to have like a $20 registration, includes TShirt, BBQ Ticket, Dash Plack, Couple raffle tickets, and some stickers. This will cover the BBQ costs, allow us to plan for food, and everything else.
Registration should start maybe 4 or 5 months in advance so people can plan their schedules accordingly.

After the raffle and group pic we set up camp at Ellis and did a night run to the box....and back. Just do the night run after the days events and nobody misses out on the BBQ or the raffle. Business first, fun last :up: as far as the award for worst carnage, doesn't that apply to the courses only ? The comp is done before the raffle so it shouldn't be a prob. Just think of the night run as a fun run and not a comp......

It's Official :up:

Brandon · October 21, 2002, 08:43:42 AM

more teasers

cruzila · October 21, 2002, 11:27:32 AM

Sam took alot, I took only a couple :cry:

Sam · October 21, 2002, 05:56:29 PM

Sorry to all you dialup guys. Here is what I wound up taking. It looks to be a GREAT place. We have to do some work to find out if we can secure it for MCR 3, but so far it looks like a winner. More info to come after this.

when and where the round the is going to be.So I can have my rig reddy,doing a axle swap.

Sam · October 22, 2002, 11:58:22 AM

One thought on the timeline was to have it over Father's day weekend. One reason is to not have to worry about fires up there. It will of course all depend on the weather and conflicting events.

Brandon · October 22, 2002, 03:28:11 PM

that is the rubithon time

cruzila · October 23, 2002, 03:50:08 AM

We were thinking the weekend before Rubithon. Weather permitting. It should work out good. Warm but not hot, not dry and the trail is always good before the first paid runs go through :up:

cruzila · October 23, 2002, 03:50:46 AM

BTW Marlin is all for it :up:

tonka · November 05, 2002, 07:20:14 PM

what is BTW? Ran the rubicon the same weekend as the piret clean up it was a mess on the trail. IT took 6 hours to make it to little slus. every one was braking down in the middle of the trail.

Brandon · November 06, 2002, 06:49:19 AM

by the way btw

zidaro · November 06, 2002, 12:21:38 PM

parea looks like it could be wicked fun-nice pics. I ran the rubi. twice last year, once the fri. of Fathers Day weekend- VERY busy and xtra dusty, once in the middle of May-first all the way thru for the year- great fun and no dust/crowds. Point being, great to get out there before the droves--- cant wait to be a part of it. ;D

BigMike · November 16, 2002, 05:42:24 AM

Wait Brandon, Marlin wanted to plan MCR3 much much earlier, like in May or June (or whenever snow melts, etc.)

Scott, have you talked to Marlin about this?

cruzila · November 16, 2002, 07:09:28 AM

early? Well shoot we betta start plannin! If there is snow they don't like poeple goin in that entrance though so June or later May - ya never know what old man winter will do..

How about April at wentworth springs?

trt2 · December 04, 2002, 03:09:02 AM

Please be careful with planning MC03 near Rubithon.

for instance, many folks and TLCA members want to attend both (me for instance). If you schedule the event on the weekend prior to Rubithon, you may impact folks ability to attend both and possibly force some into choosing. That would be bad for both events.

cruzila · December 05, 2002, 02:14:01 AM

The planning should not be any earlier than Fathers Day. Too close to call for snowmelt. July is out. August usually has fire restrictions. September, kids are back in school. What do ya do. Marlin wants it on the Rubicon to be centrally located in California.

mr4x42u · December 05, 2002, 03:33:21 AM

where in cali is the place for th mcr3?Just wondering.i was wanting to go but the drive from portland is going to be a killer.So I need to try toplan how much vacation to use..I'm sure somwone will posts dates when its planned right? ???Thanks...

NoBrainR · December 08, 2002, 02:47:46 AM

I thought the time frame was great this last year. It gave Lemooran, Blutoylet and I a chance to do a backwards run in on Friday, camp at Spider, then run back through with a camp at Buck Saturday night.

Plus August was good time wise cause it gave me enough time between Drew's Bash and MCR2 to fix stuff and do honey do's.
