#haspin

Hey everyone!  The Haspin Acres Rally with the Steel Soldiers dates have been announced!

The Rally this year is from Wed 6/12 - Sun 6/16.  Stretch and I will probably arrive a day early and leave a day early.

Obligatory slightly modified copy and paste from previous year's rallies.

Where: Haspin Acres, located in Laurel, IN
When: Wednesday June 12th through Sunday June 16th.
What: Offroad rally, talk shop, swap parts, and hang out with some awesome friends.
Who:  Anybody with (or without) an off-road mower can hang with the Mowercycle Gang at this rally.


Haspin is about 800 acres. Trail difficulty ranges from easy to "Are you out of your mind?!?".

Ride anywhere but in the campground. No electricity or water provided in the campground.
There is one set of restrooms and showers, about 1/8th mile from campground (They have been very muddy in the past, but better in recent years). The doors close at 10pm.
Water is sometimes available for hosing off rides and riders.

Camping is available in the campground.  They used to allow woods camping, but have restricted it to the campground as of 2023.

Prices for park last year were $20 first day, $15 second, $10 each day after.  Not sure if they have changed, but that gives you an idea.

This event keeps getting bigger!  Once you've been there, its a hard event to skip!


*****IMPORTANT NOTES!*****

Haspin requires all riders to wear helmets on all trails. If you do not bring a helmet, they won't let you ride.

If you are under age and planning to come, you must work out the Haspin Acres waiver ahead of time or come with a parent.  We do not want anyone to drive a long distance and be turned away at the gate.  We will not pretend to be anyone's parents, and we are not responsible for you.  

As we are doing this rally jointly with Steelsoldiers, be respectful of these very cool guys and their very cool rides.

Expect to break your tractor.  Be prepared with tools and parts.

Current Prices below:  Liability cards will need purchased by all this year.  They will be good This year and next.  Another change I have seen, they use to have discounted spectator pricing for members of your party that DO NOT ride anything in the park.  Evidently people took advantage of that and I no longer see that option anymore.  Everyone appears to be the same pricing except Veterans.  They still get 50% off with ID.

There are a couple areas roped off for conservation purposes (about 30 acres), but there is still loads of park to ride.

This should be the week BEFORE Trikefest so maybe it will normal and not be a madhouse that week.

I am currently planning on being there 13th - 15th.

Catch me there again this year! Hopefully I will break less stuff hahaha.

Just created a new type of bookmark in my browser called "vacation" :-D

The Trikefest people are 19-23 this year, so I will be Locked in for going.  Pending nothing pressing happens between now and then.
