To All AMSA Members & Guests:

I want to say how much I appreciate, and could not do this, without Greg Messer.

Greg is Vice President ... technically ... but I see him as an equal. We are a partnership.

I want to thank Greg for everything he does to make this club happen.

Without Greg, I am nothing, and so is this club.

Please thank him the next time you pull in the gate!

Thanks,
-Larry

Thanks Larry. We've been getting a lot of help to pull off the family days.

I haven't had a chance to thank all the people who showed up last Sunday to help with the trail at Rusty's. There is a good bit of brand new trail, and new use of old trail. Mark and Ed helped a lot with marking the course and helping figure out some reroutes. Marty pitched in with some ideas and helped mark the trail. Doug brought two friends who also helped mark the loop. Larry was there like always too. He acts like I'm doing it all but as I recall he was the last one to stop working Sunday. Everyone helped burn in the new stuff - it's hard to follow a trail when it's only ribbons in the trees and grass on the ground. It was a good, but hard, day's work that all these guys put in so that the trail would be ready for riding.

Because of the great turnout two weeks in a row, in the blazing heat, we won't need any more help on Saturday. There is only a little left to do to get the loop all marked.

You will get your creek bed and off camber practice with this layout for sure. There are good climbs and descents, and Easy/Hard/Expert splits so that no matter what your skill level you can have fun or be challenged, whichever you want.

Plan to arrive early Sunday and get all your riding done before it gets too hot.

Thanks again for all the help - hope to see a lot of you on Sunday!

Greg

Sounds like it's gonna be fun, looking forward to it. Thanks for everyone's hard work in the heat.

It never got hot under the pecan tree's with the cool breeze blowing. But we left around 5 P.M. before it got hot out.

Many people have asked about camping Saturday night.

Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate this.

There are several camping places in the Bastrop area including Hwy 71 RV Resort (my favorite, full hook-ups with a pool, fishing pond, and very nice restrooms and showers), Bastrop State Park, and Buescher State Park. There are others but these are the most reasonable.

Thanks,

I live 10 min or so from Rustys... since 6:30 have gotten 1/2 inch of rain today.. along with a 10th of a inch on both Sun and Mon each day.

perhaps rides at rustys are the key to breaking the drought .. at least in Bastrop co. Torcs race = 3 inches ... amsa day = ?? LOL

well got just under 1.5 inches of rain tonight.. Best rain since that May downpour...

Good....I wish we'd had some..........

Excellent, we need some rain out there. Gonna make the creeks most awesome!

Do I need to attend with a member to ride as a guest? I plan to join in the next membership cycle. Bobby asked me to come but he has to work this weekend and can't come with me.
