Who's going this year ? Last year was the first year I missed but I heard that Bass lake was great. I'm looking forward to it and it will be great to see everyone !

I think I will have to make it out there this year. I will need dates well in advance to get the time off.

The CIE Facebook says May 7-9th.

we are there!

I'll be there! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>We'll have some info to Dave soon to post up. Walt has the dates right. Same place. More bar space. Bikini models were added. Hyperlite is going for the same team. CWB is trying to bring in their best guys. And this year, Malibu is calling in their big guns! Can't say any names yet, but it's going to get interesting. This will be the first time that a boat company flies in riders. Very exciting! More very soon. <BR> <BR>The after party is exclusive to Spring Riders, no general public. We've got a 400 capacity banquet room with two bars, slumpin DJ. Free admissions for hotel guests. Otherwise they will charge you a cover. <BR> <BR>Rooms: 559-692-8836

Mothers day Weekend?

Doug Yes its Mothers day Weekend. It was Mothers day weekend last year as well. I think What you might find if you talk to the people that went last year is that the resort is VERY family oriented. There is a day spa for the Moms (Gift Idea) great restaurants, very nice swimming pool and the lake itself is beautiful. I know people that have already booked because it is on Mothers day weekend and they had a great time last year. <BR>You will not be disappointed!!!!

Cant wait. Spring ride is my favorite weekend of the entire year. This year will be of epic proportions!!!!

my crew and i will be there for sure, we have only missed one,great time for sure,cant wait to see everyone there <BR> <BR> <BR>Walt ill have the patron when your ready <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/crazy.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>(Message edited by vin on January 11, 2010)

Wish I could make it but I'll be in St Lucia this year <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

I'm going! Gonna be reckless this year!

Just make sure to bring your camera PLEASE!!! Shots of wakeboarding are acceptable, but drunk girls in bikinis are preferred, or drunk girls out of bikinis. That's cool too lol

I hate taking pics of girls in or out of their bikinis! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0>

So THAT'S why you left South Florida. It alllll makes sense now <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0>

How big is Bass Lake compared to other Nor Cal Lakes? We will be there for sure.. reservin today...

Rich, It's a bit bigger than Tulloch.

I'm gonna try to make it. Just not sure if the funds will allow......

Two adjoining chalets booked! <BR> <BR>Is it May yet? <BR> <BR>Thanks to CIE for all their hard work putting this together. <BR> <BR>Only 2 adults per room and $20 for each additional adult per room....yeah right!

Allen thanks for the info, I will run it by the boss, but its a tough sell. We also are in the start of swim season and you know how Pinkie is LOL she's still alive. <BR> <BR>Who knows my wife left me home with the kids on Fathers Day guess that gives me a hall pass!

WOW. Pinky is still running the deck? <BR> <BR>We're in, can't wait until May!

I had such a good time there last year i think Jimmy Lariche and I will be there again this year.

Put on your drinking shoes!

If negative points count...

Norcal Hyperlite team will be rollin for sure.

My shoes are always tied Riley!!! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/crazy.gif" border=0> BOOM!!!

Jus6t lock your truck this time Billy!

so bummed i missed it last year. excited to see that i will be able to make it this year. cant wait!

Spring Ride is on. The ball is rolling. It took me 3 weeks to recover from it last year. Ha, ha, ha.

cant wait, except for the week and a half recovery from last time that can wait, lol but other then that its on!!!!!!!!

Awesome! We will be taking the "stroll" up the hill. Such a beautiful venue.

i'll be there hey whoever brought those bigwheels last year should do it again i had a blast racing down that hill then trying to make the turn at the bottom lol

Found out we got the room booked today now im just counting down the months hope this years fire training doesnt coincide, last year i cut it close and finished just a week before, hoping for the same this year

so are you guys getting the little villas again or in the actual hotel this year?

I think we're all getting chalets again (the little cabins in the woods). The hotel rooms are more expensive. The hotel is dope though. It would be nice to be closer to the action.

Just got room all booked up. Her question was do you want to me in the middle of the party. My answer was, Does a bear crap in the woods?

Ill be there for sure! LAST YEAR WAS BANGING!!

I have always wanted to attend this, this might be the year.

Andy you should make it out for sure, rooms go fast but im sure someone has room for ya if you cant get one, you will enjoy yourself for sure

Get on out here!

Hell ya Andy. That would be sick

He wont do it, he is scared! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0>

Room is booked! we are in! Moose was so excited when I told him we are going.. <BR> <BR>Ricky G, Moose says you better bring the Robot this year!

Hope we can make it out this year! Spring ride is always a blast!

Shon you're scared too

What? Hope you can make it? What?

I am gunn try my best!!! I have to go to one and party with all my wakeworld people!

Scared..really..Come on Riley..If we can make it game on brotha!! haha...If its in the budget we will be there. Peeps need to start supportin their local shop rather then savin 10 bucks on the internet. Its guna suck when we have no more core shops supporting the growth of our sport...Just sayin..

HAHAH! Just playin with ya brother! I know you can hang!

Everyone needs to go to Shon's place next weekend for his slider jam. <BR> <BR>Off-Axis Board Shop in Auburn. <BR> <BR>Buy lots of snow and wake gear. We need to get him to Spring Ride.

Jan 24th! I'm there!

Shon I was going to go up and ride on the 24th but I think I'm going to change my plans and come by the shop and shoot pics of the event <BR> <BR> <BR>Really wish I could make it to Spring Ride again this year but when I'm sitting on the beach in St Lucia with a drink in my hand I think I'll be alright <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0>

^^ Yeah I'm sure you'll be missing us!

this cant drop off yet,there has to be more people going to spring ride.

Im in, we are renting a house on the water. Havent been to spring ride in a couple years definately gonna be a blast!

Nice, Kevin. Haven't seen you in a while! <BR> <BR>Stay at the hotel. Way more fun. And they will give you the wrist bands for admission to the after party.

you guys are staying at the hotel or in a chalet?

Chalets I believe

Yup, stay at the Hotel, or in one of their Chalet's and you get guaranteed admittance to the after party. It also eliminates the cover charge. <BR> <BR>IMO, the Chalets are where it's at. Get a couple of your friends, pick up a chalet and your set. You've got a kitchen and lot's of space.

I think I got hotel, but it sounds like the chalets are the way to go. <BR> <BR>What's the run down on both?

Hotel is on the water, front and center, more convenient. Chalets are like private little cabins scattered throughout the woods.

Did this venue attract many from the "non-wake" crowd as previous years at Tulloch? Not that I care, just seemed like there were quite a few people that were there to just party and didnt give a rats ass about the event it self.

From what I remember there were quite a few locals that showed up to enjoy the festivities last year. However, they were nothing like the local folk from Tulloch. Definitely better company for sure. They were actually very excited that an event like this was held at their lake.

Richard. Definitely not. The locals that did come were mountain people. Laid back. Cool.

we were at the very nice upscale restuarnt there and older locals probally mid 50's to 60's were talking to us about it and how it was so cool it was to watch and how excited they were <BR> <BR>side note the folks at the bar were pumped to they were tripping about how they made so much money off of tips from the bar they were super stoked for sure.

What's the closest airport and all that stuff again? <BR> <BR>I missed last year because of budget restraints. Nothings for sure yet this year but if I can I'd like to bring the "Oh Canada" vibe back to Spring Ride again, it would be nice to see everyone again and hit the water a few weeks before the season officially starts up here!

FAT Fresno is just down the hill

Ben, you going to come out and party with us again this year? <BR> <BR>Sounds like Tony might make it. He's got a title to defend.

oh i will be there Evan. its been way to long since the last time i've seen all of you CIE guys! plus i heard last year was a lot of fun. cant miss out on fun. i'm really excited about it. ill be fresh from WakeGames and Orlando eager to get behind my EPIC and hit some massive DUBS!

Hows the weather looking for this event?

HOT AND STILL of course.

Hows the dock setup? We will be staying across the lake. Do they fill up? Is there room to anchor up if the docks are full?

The dock situation is still TBD. Either way, there will be plenty of space. <BR> <BR>How come you're not staying at the resort....just curious

Were headed up on Tues or Wed and will be staying in some cabins across the lake. Were wanting to be able to cook all our own meals rather than eating in resturants so the cabins will work good. We get a killer price on the cabins also so it was hard to pass up. Probably gonna make for some late night trips across the lake lol

Right on, man. Just a FYI for those that have the same strategy: The Chalets have full kitchens. Staying at the resort also guarantees you a spot in the afterparties. They'll give you a bracelet with your room reservation. <BR> <BR>It's nice to be able to stumble back to your room late at night, rather than have to navigate the lake.

Or you could do what brodie does and just pass out naked wherever!
