Chinaman Gulch Run: SATURDAY, APRIL 21st

[Teellandor]

... at least now I'm sure to have a good spotter. I'll have the t-case and tire situation dealt with by then.

 

[jragan]

Count me in. I have it on the Calendar.

:wstupid: I should be able to go. If things go bad I'll just sell my body for a few nights to take care of gas. Any takers? Josh? Whats the count as of now for people planning on going?
Also any one from the springs want to caravan up? Could be pretty cool.

Anyone know how long it takes to get there from Longmont so I can plan when to leave?

Give yourself 3 1/2 hours. It's about 180 miles or so from Longmont.

chinamens isnt that tough. One of the guys in my group did it in a stock Forrunner (it was pretty funny, he did have some.
damage).....the guys with trailers should try carnage canyon. I may try to make it so I can meet some of the naxja people...I get to go to moab on the 12th to mt.bike and 4 wheel.

HA! HA! Your body has to be worth something to sell it. :doh:

"I'm with stupid", sure I will remember that next time you ran out of gas or need a strap on the trail :moon:

It's looking better each day for my chance to go.

Got the the new trac bar on today. Yum

Hey Troy,

When DJ actually went last year and I rode with him... What was the route you guys took? I've been taking 285 and the other one seemed more enjoyable.

Thanks

Scott

I google mapped it from L-Land and it was only 169 miles. 2hrs and some change, not in my tow rig!

We usually meet up in the parking lot of the KFC on 31st & Colorado.

 

[dabeersboys]

Sweet that works.

If I can make it lets get a northern CO group to drive down togather. Thats code for I don't want to get lost.

 

[old_man]

I'm hoping to make it if I don't break anything major in Moab next week.:wave1:

 

[jdogg4]

so if we leave up north we would need to leave around 6:30 ish to play it save to leave or hit the trail by 9:30 or 10 right. Looks like two from Greeley area and two or so from loveland maybe? Could meet at that park and ride on 402 south loveland exit.

 

[frankenstang57]

We could do that. Still debating on whether or not to bring the trailer. Be really handy to have if something happens... Matt's never run his with the lift yet. I'm thinking about leaving the night before just to make it easier in my daughter. Nothing concrete as of yet.

 

[old_man]

If I remember it took 3+ hours to get there from Loveland.

 

[planefixer]

If the weather is nice I plan on heading up Friday evening and camping at Ruby Mountain Campground- might stay Saturday night as well.

O wow I'm going to have to get up early to go wheeling? nuts well thats still not as early as I get up for work so I guess thats still sleeping in right.

Got any good directions down there from loveland area.

 

[dabeersboys]

So whats the count for total people? I told jragan that I'm REALLY excited about this. I had a blast getting into wheeling last year and its stuck with me!!! It will be good to meat some of the people who own the xjs I see around town.

I may have the Chevy back on the road by then, Dave. If you don't take your trailer, I may borrow one of Rich's. For some reason I have an idea that with my luck, something will happen where I need a trailer.
