Anyone going to be at AOP this week/weekend?

kickdeez · Oct 13, 2020

I'll be heading to AOP tomorrow for some trail riding this week/weekend. I've had this trip planned for several months, and the other guy that was supposed to come with me bailed yesterday. I've never been before, and not a big fan of wheelin without another rig. The plan is to ride Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and would definitely be interested in night wheelin. Anybody else planning to be there this week, and care to let me tag along? I'll be in an F-Toy crawler buggy on 42 stickies. I'm going to ride regardless, it would just be nice to have another rig (or multiple) around in case of a tricky recovery, or just to drink some trail crispies. Picture of rig below.

We won't be there this weekend, but there is usually a decent turnout of various rigs to ride with. Weather is looking pretty good too.

There is an event going on Saturday (Battle of the Beaters) so should be some entertainment down at the short course area.

Weather looks like it's gonna be about perfect for camping. I saw the event announcement...may have to catch a bit of the "racing" action. I figured there would be some folks in the park this weekend, but wasn't sure about Thursday/Friday. I am hoping to link up with someone to ride with here so I wont have to creep around the camping area pulling a "hey mister". But I'm not above it either.

Thursday may be a bit slow, but if you go ride by yourself just go check out the Greens and Blues and you should be fine. Friday folks usually start rolling in for the weekend, so should be able to tag along with others.

Some buddies from GA will be there. (Cole and Shauna from RCM Fab).
If I get my truck's engine swapped in time I'll be there to hang out too.

Lots of people will be there this weekend. I hear of a crawl fish boil and bands playing.

It was a great weekend of riding. Huge thanks to @kickdeez for the help getting of little cesars. Didnt take many pictures like normal. will try to gather some from fb/instagram and post here.

Thanks for letting me tag along with you @jeeptj99. It was good meeting you. And good meeting you @Andrews2007. I know there were a couple other people I met in passing that recognized me from this thread. A solid weekend of wheelin for sure. If it weren't such a shitty drive from Charlotte, I'd be at AOP more regularly.
