Anyone planning on coming to MN Spring Ride?

[ironj32]

Who will I see there? It's June 6-8 at Craguns Resort in Brainerd, MN. A big thanks to MarineMax, Red Bull and Nautique for being such great supporters of this event...I definitely wouldn't have been able to grow it to what it has become without them! This year we've got over $10,000 CASH to give away! There will be some really big name pros in attendance. I can't quite say who they are, yet, as Red Bull would like to coordinate the announcement....put your thinking caps on, you may be able to figure them out. My new G23 and plenty of others (G25 as well) will be on site, as well as towing the contests.

If you would like more details or want to compete, check out www.mnspringride.com! If you have questions you can ask them on here, shoot me a private message or shoot me an email at jay.fogelson@gmail.com.

You definitely should, it's a good time! There's lots of great riding and a lot of fellow wake and lake enthusiasts to meet.

Will the snow and ice be gone by then?

Sorry - just had to rub it in a little bit.

That's what I was thinking too.. We got a fresh 10" yesterday, and it was May freaking 2nd! Felt more like Februray 83rd!

We've got open water here in the metro, so it'll happen...somewhere. Brainerd lakes should be open in the near future.

Water is still going to be chilly, but I'll be there!

The water seems to be warming up quickly, here in the metro. It's already 63 deg. If the ice goes out within the next week up there, I think there is a good chance the water will be up to 70 or so...as long as we get our normal temperatures.

Just an FYI that contestant registration is open through May 26. All contestants must register and pay their fees on line at www.mnspringride.com.

Additionally, we've got jerseys and hats available. Orders must be placed by May 15 on www.mnspringride.com. All items will be available for pick-up at the event. Pictures of the gear are attached.

JD Webb
Mike Dowdy
Scott Stewart

what time on Friday and Saturday does the event start? Is there a list somewhere of times for each event? I am thinking about coming up Friday but might want to plan a time to be therethat makes sense for what I want to see.
