We will have plenty of arrows up as you get close and also we will have signs in braille for some of us real old guys Who: Any Husky and buddies on non husky are ok as long as there is a husky "sponsor" so to speak. We love our Huskys but it is all about the fun. All years vintage is ok too (in honor of the fierce competition given to Husqvarna during the "glory Years" that are soon coming back. We may have some former and current ISDE vets show as well. How often do you get a chance to bang bars with that? Our own resident photographer will be on hand to make you look famous (or infamous). Cost: "Husqvarna-care" is in effect. What is "Husqvarna-care"? Registration goes back to 2007 inaugural fee of $40! Also a small parking fee to be used as a thanks for the land owner. Per car, RV, truck, Camper, giant wooden rabbit, M-1 Abrams etc.Also as far as there being co-run with a race the same weekend......no worries. You DO NOT need any AMA, AHRMA, AARP, Social Security, Starbucks frequent buyer, or any other "cards" to attend. If you are wanting your AHRMA event/series points then yes you need AHRMA membership.Bottom line…..going for AHRMA Series Points…..sign up with AHRMA…..Wanting just fun and not worrying about race points see Norm or I for sign up. What: As usual, all about the fun. We've always run it, as a fundraiser. In the past we've helped: Husky/non Husky riders with health problems, their family members, Husky mounted ISDE riders and more. Good things happen, when Husky Riders get together! This year we are trying to help Fred Hoess and his crazy saga of Doing the vintage ISDE in Spain on and 86 WR250. There is open riding on a separate MX and XC courses (except when the AHRMA race is utilizing that venue). This year North East Huskys will be sponsoring its 3rd AHRMA MX/CC race the same weekend. The vintage XC race is Saturday and we will have a special “Non AHRMA Husky class” for those that want to race in it. Non AHRMA points competitors only, your XC race fee is covered in the $40!Another plus.Those that just want to trail ride can as well. Sunday is AHRMA MX .8 mile, old fashioned, off camber scrambles track, with no jumps.So MX open course is just Sat.You can register for Sun MX races but this is on your dime.

Just a nice view across the valley overlooking where the MX track is and down in the woods where the XC course is. beautiful view
try Three bears inn in Marathon about 20 min away and an older and cozy place....great bar and awsome food.
MX course all cut in. looking good. a little rain yesterday and fri were good. MX course just under a mile. XC loop is just under 4 and alot of new virgin trail flowing and nice. mix of terrain and mostly woods single track, Got mauled by wasps on sat finishing up and had to cut in a bypass (stung 14 times....thankfully not allergic as Epi pen is like a million dollars!) cut a bypass and new section around wasps. gave them clear berth so no worries guys the mx and xc courses share nothing common this year so whatever your passion there is no issues about running either and having to look out for incoming traffic We will be there around noon friday for the early birds campers bring warm bedding as it gets colder here at night. super wal mart just down the street so if you forget anything it is there Remember....you get a free entry into the XC race with your husky Gathering sign up registration. We will have special Husky gathering classes for the xc race both modern bikes and vintage/PV bikes See you all there!
I'll be there Saturday morning with a couple buddies! And one buddy from below Baaaston is coming over too. Are all classes riding together in the XC? vintage and PV?
XC will be all classes in 1 race. parade lap at 1230 Sat and race to follow minor tune ups and topping of gas tanks. CYA there I am leaving now finally
