The Plan for GR8ness

Hello all. 

I hope your summer has been going well.  With the Gypsy Run being right around the corner the updates and info will be coming more frequently. For the moment here are the broad strokes. The biggest change this year is we are staying at one camp site for the entire run. Traditionally we have stayed at different places Friday and Saturday. There are several reasons for this, but without getting too complicated about it the main reason is just to try something different. Friday we are going to leave from Cool Beans Coffee shop in Oradel, NJ. We are going to ride approximately 200 miles around the Catskill region of New York ending up at The LANDERS Campsite on the beautiful Delaware river. We will have catering and free beer (while it lasts) and a pleasant evening getting to know each other. The next morning you will wake to the sound of birds chirping and bacon sizzling.  Around 10am Fritz and Mike 47 will lead you on a whirlwind 300 mile tour of the other side of the river, better known as Pennsylvania. We will have staff at the campsite all day to welcome people and keep an eye on things. You can leave your tent up and not worry about it while you are out riding. There will be NOTHING going on at the campsite during the day. You are encouraged to go out and do fun stuff (whatever that means to you). After a day’s worth of awesome you will return to the warm embrace of our semi-permanent encampment where Cold Beer and a warm dinner will be waiting.  At some point we will be giving out trophies and prizes to people that made, and have done great things. After that I am sure something entertaining will happen. Sunday morning… go home. That is the plan. Details will follow. 


See ya soon  ~Walter

The Good The Bad and the Ugly

I would once again like to thank everybody that busted their ass to make the Gypsy Run what it is today. All of our sponsors and friends that do all the heavy lifting for you. It would not get done without them and I am honored to call them friends. Overall I think the run went great. There were no serious injuries and it seemed like everybody had a good time. The worst thing that happend was Willy got hit by a deer. He skillfully rode it out like nothing happened. Things were much worse for the deer and his saddle bag.

Here is the part that I am fucking furious about. During our stay at Sleepy Hollow Friday Night someone STOLE a cord of firewood from one of the trailers and unpluged their power. This caused their refrigerator to defrost, spoiling therir food and spilling water all over the trailer. This incident has ruined our years long relationship and made us unwelcome at Sleepy Hollow in the future. Thank you for ruining it for every one you inconsiderate fucking thieving scumbag! While we are on the subject of thieving fucking scumbags, this brings us to the second thing that I’m furious about. Friday night or early Saturday morning someone STOLE our trophy for best Roadside Repair. Whoever took this you have one chance to make this right. Send it to my shop. Don’t put a return address on it because I don’t want to know who you are. If you don’t, you better hide it. You better hope nobody saw you steal it. You better hope nobody ever sees it. Because WHEN it gets back to me, I will find you and repossess it. Test me, I FUCKING DARE YOU! I know there are a few people out there who knows who stole my shit and who fucked up the campsite for everybody. I don’t want you to rat on your friend, but I want you to realize that you’re inaction, your inability to talk to your friend out of doing something stupid, has cost everyone. Fuck you. I have always operated this thing on the honor system. The system that I thought everybody was honorable and nobody would steal from us or fuck shit up for everybody because… Because I’m fucking naïve that’s why. ~ Walter

What I’m looking for looks like this.
