Soon being when?

I'm all tied up this weekend, but I am looking to go somewhere next weekend, and that trail looks fun.

[Alpine Spirit]

Oh shit... I bet thats the trail I have been lookin around for years for.

[Creek]

good ol' Moab Hill

[Ryan Gee]

I wouldn't want anyone to keel over if I actually wheel for once.. but I could make it to this. Matters which day it ends up on.

Kev, maybe we could do it during the week sometime.

Sounds like a perfect trail for the initial run for the Jeep.
Weekend or week for me if I can get off work.
My Grandaughter wheeled China Wall at 5 months. Jeff bring the youngster! Babies love wheeling!

[soccerbrace]

Next weekend, then I think I can make it. this weekend, no.

I don't know when I can make it. Saturday the 21st seems to be preferred by most folks.

.

[OdiN]

The 21st should work for me.

[BLACKOUTX]

We may have to make 2 runs. 1 during the week and one on the weekend.

Ya need to come back over so we can grind the paint off the fender tab area and see if we can weld that little stinker on without burning through into to the cab. Plus, the landlord drank all the PBR... we need more!:crazy:

Hey, two runs sounds worthwhile!!!

[JeffW]

We may have to make 2 runs. 1 during the week and one on the weekend.

A run during the week might work, too. Maybe a poll is in order...

Let's git-r-dun!

I spotted that guy in China wall with that Blazer and he smashed out that triangle shaped window.

[Ryan Gee]

I could positively go on the 18-19th.

[BLACKOUTX]

Plus, the landlord drank all the PBR... we need more!:crazy:



Someone keeps drinking all the PBR here too! :beermug:

[Bill Potter]

:(
Ryan...I really want to be there when that HB hits the first real trail. But I don't have much free time showing on the schedule, I might have time the next week if everything goes well next week.... and you don't make it out on those days...At least I still have a Job for now.

On the flip I hear Chicago has a decent St Paddy's Day party, I guess I can add it to the list of things I have witnessed in my life...Bill

[Ryan Gee]

YOu would think a can of PBR was a girl scout cookie as fast as it goes away.

[JeffW]

[Ryan Gee]

Probably be something more like left hand canyon on the 18-19th.

[palermus]

Actually the 19th is best for me. 21st is only open in afternoon.

[Night in Armor]

I'm busy the 21st in the AM too. Maybe an april run?

[soccerbrace]

only the 21st works for James, and he is the guy everyone else wants to hang out with.

[OdiN]

I might be out. I gotta fix some stuff.

[S2X01]

james will eat all your food.

i might go. i think i'll just do a ride along though.

anyone want a co pilot?

I'll bring PBJ and PBR......

[Ryan Gee]

Did you say PBR....

[JeffW]

I don't think the 19th or the weekend work for me. I can't wait to run this one. 40 minutes to the trailhead!

[palermus]

How long of a drive is LHC from denver? It takes me 1hr 15min to denver.

[palermus]

I still think I'd rather do Illinois Gulch Sat afternoon. James thinks he's in - anyone else?

[soccerbrace]

1:30 at Ron's house, unless plans change.

How hard is this trail? What are some recommended mods?

[JBDevega]

I'd be down, but note i only have sundays off.

It looks like the left side of the obstacle (Moab hill) is pretty stocker-friendly. The rest of the trail is reasonably low-key, according to the report. Climbs and descents without major obstacles.

1:30 sounds really late to meet in the Springs, but if that's the earliest people can make it, make sure you know exactly how to get there. You won't have time to get lost on the way. Also be careful, because a major breakdown can lead to unwanted camping...

I'm really disappointed not to make this one. That trail looks fun as hell. I have a business trip next week and need to spend the weekend with the fam. Please take lotsa pics. Maybe a video of James conquering a tough line of Moab Hill is in order! Good luck and be careful.

[soccerbrace]

So, where exactly is this trail? It is North of C-springs? I cannot follow the link. If I live in N. C-springs, which way would I head? Toward Castle rock? I am one lost mo fo!

[palermus]
