6 WELCOME W elcome to the 38th edition of the annual Spring Desert 100 weekend. This event is being staged on the Wes King Ranch near Odessa, Washington. This is a working cattle ranch and as such, we must do our best to have as little impact as possible on this property. This is private property leased for the weekend from Wes King, owner of the ranch, to be used only for the weekend of April 5th and 6th. Only those signed up for an event may travel the grounds outside of the camping area. This property is not open for general play riding at any time. We all know how hard it is to find an area suitable for an event like the Desert 100. Please respect the wishes of the Stumpjumpers and Mr. King in regards to the property, so in future years we may have the possibility of continued use. Please stay on the marked course at all times. We would like to have as little impact on the land as possible. You may have questioned the Event Flyer in regards to bringing a clean motorcycle to the event. The reason is to mitigate the possibility of introducing unwanted weeds onto the property. I might point out that in Nevada a clean vehicle, whether bike or truck, is required because the BLM does not want plant seeds brought up from Arizona, California or Mexico introduced into their desert. As always, campfires are not allowed. Please clean up your camp and PIT area before leaving. The Stumpjumpers want you to have an enjoyable weekend, but please remember that we are guests here. Treat this property like it was your own front yard. You do not have to mow it, but leave it as you found it. Thank you and have a great time.

8 WHO ARE THE STUMPJUMPERS? We are a family oriented, off-road trail riding motorcycle club that loves to have fun. Promoting motorcycling and the safe use of motorcycles is one of our main goals. We were founded in 1967 and have one of the biggest driving forces in off road motorcycle events, in the Puget Sound area. We promote many of the most well known off road motorcycle events that enthusiasts look forward to each year. With the main purpose of the club to have fun, we also have club play days on a monthly basis. Each month one or more of our members put together an event exclusively for club members and friends. With fun in mind, these events range from trail rides, poker runs, camp outs, and occasionally a nice relaxing barbecue. Club Sponsored Events The World Famous Desert Since 1969 when this annual race began, the Desert 100, once known as Mattawa, has been the most prestigious off road race of the year. In additon to the race, the Desert 100 weekend features the following events: Family Poker Run - This is a fun event for the whole family and each year it gathers hundreds of riders just looking to have a fun ride and great time. Iron Man Poker Run - This is not for the faint at heart. Designed for the more advanced rider, this event is much longer and harder than our family poker run. Dual Sport Ride - We also put on a very fun ride for those who have dual sport bikes. People always look forward to these events knowing they are in for a fun day. Frost Bite Cross-Country Grand Prix - The White Knuckle of 2004 had such good feedback that the Frost Bite was created to please the appetite of those who loved the White Knuckle. Butt Stomper 24 Hour Off Road Challenge - To say this event is grueling is an understatement. This 24 hour race is the true test of both man and machine. Golden Spike Hare Scrambles - This is one of the most well known Hare Scrambles in the state. This event attracts some serious racers but most just come to have a very fun time. White Knuckle Cross-Country Grand Prix (formerly known as the Nasty Wench) - Another well known race that features some character. Our Three Main Points are: HAVE FUN! HAVE FUN! HAVE FUN! Monthly Club Meetings Even though our monthly meetings are restricted to adults only, it is a great way to get together and enjoy what every one of our members has to offer. This is where we plan and organize our club events, but we also have a lot of fun in doing so. When do we meet? We meet on the first Wednesday of every month at 8:00 PM. Where do we meet? At the American Legion Hall in Mountlake Terrace th Avenue West. Are Visitors Welcome? Absolutely. If you are thinking of getting involved, please come to any of our meetings. COME JOIN THE CLUB If you are thinking of looking into a fun and friendly off road motorcycle club then you owe it to yourself to come and check us out. Every member of the Stumpjumpers Motorcycle Club are members for one reason, and that is to have fun. Monthly meetings are for adult only, however the monthly play days are for our families and friends of all ages. At the meetings, we plan activities for the whole family. Trail riding, having fun, our families and motorcycles are what we love the most, and not necessarily in that order.
