El Dorado Springs Talk
Posted: Mon Oct 21, 2013 9:07 am
If you reserved a cabin or RV spot in the spring, please call them and confirm you still want it. They transferred that original list to this weekend. The heated cabins and all but two RV spots appear to be booked but that depends on who confirms. There are still many small cabins that are nice but just have no heat or water. There are heated shower houses very near the cabins.
Open riding Saturday from 3:00 (earlier if we are finished with the course) until dark for a $10 fee intended to raise money for the camp.
This race was poorly attended last year and I simply dont know why. It was a two day event but I dont think that was the issue. We all found out that one course layout was much harder than the other. This one will be the "easy" direction. No way to know for certain but the weather is looking good so far. The dirt and rocks should have just the right amount of moisture content!! No dust, no mud, low temps, fall colors, on a motorcycle!!! Just exactly what do you want?!!
If you heard the race was too hard, I dont think that is correct infromation. It is not flat, and it does have rocks here and there but not rocky like Chadwick, Collins, or Walter's. A lot of the rocky areas are more like Milford. They are just small patches with much dirt trail connecting them. Definitely time for a drink or rest here and there. The difficulty level is not our hardest race but I would rate it 7 or maybe 8 out of 10 if that helps you judge it. The place is small so the laps will only be about five miles. Lots of chances to display your speed and ability in the scoring lane! Lots of spectator spots close to the campgrounds. Simply a beautiful place that we seldom get blessed with for a Hare Scramble. Come Saturday and just enjoy the place. There is an 8 acre lake right in the middle of the place.
This was voted race of the year last year and was the lowest turnout of the all the races. Go figure! Past participants, jump on this thread and give us your two cents about this place.
