Dixie Gully Run II

I hope I can make it, but after the GG trip to Canada and about a month's worth of traveling for work since, I don't really want to burden my wife with having to watch all three kids again when I'm not home.

Bring them with you! This is a family event and would help show the Parks n Rec folks that this IS a family activity.

If you do not have a vehicle and want to participate/show support, you can park across the road at the campground and get shuttled in as a spectator for $5.

I thought about it, but me managing a 3yo,2yo, 6mo by myself at an event with vehicles all over, and unpredictable weather...

I'm out

I'm surprised that there is low response to register. In this area of the state, and as busy as the Mounds can be...is the $20 fee pushing people away? Has Oakland County given any details as to the daily fees once the park opens? I wonder if it will be more or the same as the Mounds?

I don't think it's really a low response as its that it didn't fill up like we all hoped. I've heard there's around 280 registered?
Being late in the wheeling season is a factor too...kids in school with sports etc... Fair weather wheelers too. But if someone complains about $20 then they just ought to sell their wheels, sit back and watch tv, eat potato chips and get fat.

I hope everyone has fun tomorrow and Sunday!!!

Post lots of pics after

Had a great time! I didn't talk to anyone that wasn't having fun, officials and participants alike. A little cold, but you can't plan the weather.

And the people selling the BBQ.... I would have paid double it was sooo good!

So when will this park become official?

The current test site will now go dormant for over a year while all the grants/ acquisitions, contracts, leases, etc get worked out.

I can't thank everyone enough for all the support and good attitudes.
