White Rock Mt
trail map
The 19th annual Wudi ride is going to take place at the White Rock Mt,
Arkansas (WRM) public riding trails SE of Fayetteville, AR. See the links above
for directions and GPS coordinates. We will be using our club's camp ground for
this event. The festivities will center around the weekend of the March 11-12,
2017 this year. Normally, the riding starts on Thursday and goes
through Sun or Mon. This is a public riding area, though, so folks can start and
end whenever they like, but the camp area will not be open until Wednesday
evening to guests, and will close Sunday night.
These annual WUDI rides happen each year to let the northern
types, aka Yankees, get some winter riding in. The only riding they get to do
at that time of year is on snowmobiles. WUDI stands for WUDsracer Invitational.
"Wudsracer" is Jim's user name on the rec.motorcycles.dirt usenet
group, which is where I first got to know him. I moved to NW Arkansas in 2005
from MN but I am keeping the tradition alive. It's only open to all ya'lls
who can come so it's not much of an invitational, actually, since everyone is invited.
These events started when Jim Cook extended an invitation to my Yankee self and
friends to come down south and ride. He's since come to regret the offer but
he's too much of a gentleman to turn the northeners down when they come begging
each winter. It's grown from there into whatever it is now. This is NOT a full
blown spodefest or anything. Just an informal get together.
We have a dedicated Wudi forum now. See
it here. You don't have to register to post, but I'd prefer if you do. In
any case, please leave enough info in any posts so we know who you are.
There is a little store in Combs, if you need it. Keep in mind that Arkansas police love their radar guns and like giving out speeding tickets (I call them 'revenurs).
Jim had warned me about it for years but I still got a speeding ticket my 2nd
day after moving down here in '05. 5-7 over is okay but you're on borrowed time
much above that on non-highways. Especially take it very easy going through
Elkins on Hwy 16!!
Jim Cook, for those of you who didn't know, owned Smackover Motorsports in
scenic Smackover, Ark where he sold GasGas dirtbikes and parts to many very
happy customers.
