We are still in need of the following volunteers for this Saturday. If
you feel led to volunteer, please let us know.
> I want to provide you all with some additional information on Crooked
> Creek.
> Park Owners:
> David and Lori are two of the nicest folks you will ever meet and are
> gracious enough to have TORCH out several times a year. Please take
> the time to say hi and introduce yourself. If David is not busy
> working on trail improvements, he will be happy to shoot the breeze or
> show you some of Crooked Creeks hidden treasures. Lori is always up
> for a good conversation as well.
> Noise Rules:
> Crooked Creek is concerned about being good neighbors and as such will
> not allow bikes with excessive noise output to ride on the property.
> The sound level aloud is 99 dB or less. Most 2 strokes with properly
> maintained silencers will have no problem meeting this level. If you
> ride a 4 stroke, we suggest you run the stock exhaust or a quiet
> baffle or spark arrestor if running an aftermarket exhaust. If the
> owners perceive your bike as being too loud, they will test it.
> Schedule:
> Several of the TORCH guys will arrive beginning around 8:00 A.M.
> Whenever you arrive, just look for the TORCH banner. We will try and
> notify everyone via this forum where we intend to setup. We usually
> spend the first hour or two getting setup, gearing up, and greeting
> folks as they arrive. Then it's off to the trails for a couple hours
> of riding. Sometime around noon lunch will be served. This is a great
> time to eat, talk and just hang out together. After a good lunch its
> back to the trails for a few more hours of fun. Sometime around dusk,
> we start loading up for the drive home. This is also a great time to
> get to know folks. Please feel free to arrive and leave as you like.
> Some of us will be there from dawn to dusk.
> Food:
> TORCH will be serving sausage wraps and hot dog wraps with the usual
> condiments. We encourage everyone to bring their favorite beverages
> for the day and something to share with the group (i.e. cookies,
> chips, beans or your Aunt Helens famous potato salad.)
> Ride Guides:
> TORCH will do its best to lead a number of group rides on the various
> trails. We usually run a leader and a sweeper to make sure everything
> goes smoothly. We will also be taking photos and running a helmet cam
> to capture video of you riding. This video will be posted on the TORCH
> website. The more embarrasing moments will usually be highlighted by
> slow motion or other special affect.
> Support TORCH:
> TORCH T-shirts, TORCH bike stickers,. TORCH car window stickers and
> FOX hats will be on sale at the TORCH canopy. When you purchase one of
> these items, you help to get the word out about TORCH and the proceeds
> go directly to funding TORCH events and community service activities.
> Trail Info:
> Below is information on the various trails at Crooked Creek.
> Trail maps will be provided when you come by the TORCH canopy.
> All trails are marked for one way travel only (Remember to keep the
> ribbons on your right).
