National Wetbike Rally - Lake Murray, Ok June 20-23Rd

[Tightwad]

This is NOT a VFR ride but at least 3 of us attending ride VFRs. This is the National Rally for Wetbikes...the old watercraft from 1978-1992. We get a pretty good turnout (hoping for 35 machines this year). Riding a Wetbike is as close as you can get to riding a motorcycle on the water. They aren't fast (35MPH is typical top speed) but they handle just like a bike.

In addition to the Wetbikes, we also tend to get other eclectic machines...Surfjets, X-3, etc

We will be at Martins Landing from Wednesday to Sunday...Official days areThu-Sun, June 20-23rd. If anyone is in the area and wants to give one a shot, or just take a camping vacation, come join us!

Cool! Lake Murray is one of the nicest lakes in Oklahoma. Doesn't get red with mud like Eufala or Texoma.

Those who are interested can go to www.wetbike.net/forum for more info. There is no fee (other than state park fees) and everyone is pretty laid back.

FYI, if you have been to Lake Murray in the past, I bet that it will be much cooler water temps this year than normal. We have had quite a mild, wet spring. Of course there is probalbly a website you can check for current lake temps. Don't think you would need a wet suit, but maybe a shortie...

This will be my 4th year. The water has been quite warm in the past. This is also the latest we have done it...usually it's 1-2 weeks earlier. Hoping the water is warm, sure makes it nice to hang out in!

This week has been our first week of air temps in the nineties. The water should be warming up nicely...
