NONE!!!!!!
I still can't believe that we invited the whole CO XJ list, at least those who were set up properly, and no one showed up to run either 21 Road or Die Trying. We took 10 XJ's through Die Trying, the first time anything like that has been done, and everyone was from out of the state. We had rigs from CA, WA, OR, UT, and WI, but none from CO. That is one kick ass trail, very tight, with some big climbs and a real steep climb out at the end with a few big ledges in it. We feel very fortunate to get 10 rigs through with no breakdowns......a testament to how well the rigs and drivers where prepared.
Evidently, the CO people just can't handle it.
I know that a few XJ's have run Die Trying, so I'm not saying it hasn't been done before, just that a whole group of XJ's running it is a first. It blows my mind that no one from CO was there to claim their part in the adventure. I want to thank Brad Green, who is a member from Telluride, for coming out to show us to the trails in Montrose. Brad lead us on Scratch and Dent, but isn't quite set up for Die Trying.
Grant and Led met us at Avalanche Ranch, which also had some very tough trails, so we did finally have some CO folks along on the trip. As soon as everyone gets settled I'm sure there will be plenty of pics.
