    A good weather request has been placed...

    wwmmmaaaahhaaaa...fat chance, REQUEST DENIED, 3" of rain has been carefully planned for right on start time :lol:

    That's what happens in Australia if you organise an event...:D or its 45 degrees Celsius and100% humidity :mad:

    sounds like a great event planned I will wish for good weather to be sent your way.

    Well...for a US enduro...3" of rain IS good weather!

    As legendary Delaware Enduro Rider Charlie Stapleford likes to say: "A day of rain makes a good enduro great!"

    There's no emoticon that conveys my feelings at this moment-mud. Clay mud, hills of banana skins fortified with
    punji sticks, the enemy lurking in the shadows...the sharp crack your shoulder makes...
    Anyways, I hope to be in attendance :thumbsup:

    If we "staple" entries together or request you "staple " entries together (no more than 3) will you draw as one for minute start row like normally done in an endure?

    Send me a note with the name(s), 3 max per row and I'll make sure the drawing-master puts them together.
    Just don't mix pre-and post entries...that won't work!
