Okay, since we're having some debate about exactly where everyone wants to have our New Year's run this year, here's a poll to decide the outcome. Everyone please vote, even if you don't care which one we end up at!
Choices are (wheeling saturday Dec 31 and Monday Jan 1, 2007):
1) Rausch Creek both days
2) Paragon both days
3) Paragon sunday, Rausch Creek monday
My arguments:
1) Pro's: Moderate trails, always a fun time especially if there's snow on the ground- everybody stays in the same hotel which makes it much easier for all of us to hang out and celebrate instead of being scattered among 3-4 places.
Cons: If you break, you're kinda screwed unless we get really creative, because there's no local garage to fix at and no real parts stores around, trails we've always taken are not as challenging as Paragon's (HOWEVER, we've never taken harder trails at RC!).
2) Pro's: Can hit harder trail offshoots while still travelling moderate trails, Plenty of places to do 'after hours' wheeling, lots of parts stores and possibly a garage to work in if needed (assuming it isn't rented out by then), a few free places to stay.
Con's: Paragon's closed on Monday, hitting harder trails usually means somebody's gonna break something and hold the rest of us up all day either trying to fix it or drag them outta the park, risk of legal action for wheeling in aforementioned 'after hours' places.
3) Pro's: Can hit hard trails saturday, take it easy sunday- plenty of parts stores to fix any broken items, best of both worlds. Free saturday night places to stay.
Con's: If someone breaks bad, there goes New Year's eve because we'll be all night helping fix whatever breaks, Expensive on gas to travel to both places.
If y'all choose #3, Would we be celebrating New Year's at RC in the hotel or driving to Rc the next day from Hazleton? I wasn't impressed with New Year's in Hazleton last year- it went frightfully boring to really aggravating, just my $.02... but it doesn't mean that this year can't be planned better if we have enough time to figure out what we wanna do! So VOTE!
