As I sit here fighting back the tears, my eyes welling up (call me a big puzzy whatever) as I think of all the awesome people I have met through riding and all the great times we have shared here in these great mountains, and how much Im gonna miss it. These past 2 weeks have been an emotional roller coaster for me. Was ousted from my current living situation, me and my family, moved them out to Yuma, TN were we are welcome with the in-laws, coming to the decision that I would join them, leaving them Sunday, coming back here, and now I think my cat is gone, for good. My life has been crazy lately. Im not looking for advice, for I have already made my decision, I am a father and husband first and foremost and have to do what is right for my family. Staying here and leaving my family just so I can ride where I want to is a selfish choice, and one Im not willing to make. I am however posting this though because I want to get together with everyone that has helped shape who I am in the past couple of years and have one more good ol' Wilsons ride. That means all you fvckers that know and ride with me, you know who you are!!!! And even if you dont know me and just want to have a great day in the woods riding our bikes. I am leaving this Sunday so Saturday is my plan, Im gonna call everyone (not everyone is on the monkey), and try and set this up as long as the weather looks ok. I would really like to ride with as many of you as I can one more time before I leave. Now I wont be gone forever, and my plan is to make it back to these beautiful mountains and all the great people I have met, but it may be awhile, so if you can, come join us. If you cant make it and I dont see you much love and respect to all, I have greatly enjoyed all of your company and it hurts to think of leaving, even if it is only temporary. Hope to see you Saturday. :cheers:

Thank God.
I thought you had started menopause.:biggrin:
I just checked, and you will be exactly 4 hours away from Windrock.
Sounds like a good meet up point.:cheers:
You are doing the right thing by family first man.
This weekend when I hit the ground so hard that is the first coherent thought I had. Oh $hit, am I going to be able to hold my baby.:biggrin:
Good luck.

Will there be shuttling? :biggrin::biggrin:
Where there's John, there's shuttling. :D

Damn John - sorry to hear that man! Of course you pick the one weekend that I will be out of town to have a huge farewell ride. We'll definitely have to meet up at WR and I'm sure you'll find some good trails around Yuma. Don't forget to carry plenty of moonpies with you on those long xc rides. :D

I usually keep my studio open on Saturdays till 5:00 pm.

I appreciate the offer though.

Pin it down Beehive for me.
 
Damm John, that's a tough position to be in. I was riding behind the house today and was thinking I should call you. Sorry to hear you are moving for a while. Good luck with it. I have to work Saturday, but hell man, with the way things are right now I could lose my job between now and then so who knows? If I don't see you, take care bro.

Yo JB, sorry to hear you have to go brother. Taking care of your family always comes first and making a choice like that shows who you really are. We'll just have to post up trips to WR early so we can meet in the middle. Good luck & I hope that you can get back to good ole NC soon. Maybe closer to our side of the woods so that summer time weekday wilsons rides are possible. I may have to work at our diner this week end (responsibility sux) but if I don't I 'll be down for a Sat ride.:cool:

Yep, my goal is to get back here and live as close to Wilsons as possible. I understand the responsibility thing, but if you dont have to work it would be great to see ya. Let all the other H-town boys know too if you could, not sure I have all there #'s.
