I was worried when I saw that my forks were seaping. I had fork rebuild anxiety. I knew the day would come when I needed to rebuild them and today it finally happened.
My main worry wasn't about figuring out how to rebuild my forks. I can usually figure out most mechanical things. It was...
Sorry guys. I thought I would be able to help put this years rally on but I just can't seem to find time. I've got all kinds of great excuses but I won't waste your time. Suffice it to say that I'll give anyone who steps up my support but I can't be the dude this year.
I talked to http://www.blackcanyonjellystone.com/ They claim a 10-20% discount for rallies or reunions. How does late august sound? It's obvious to me (looking at threads from past rallies) that I will not be able to do this rally on my own. Some experienced rally organizers would be greatly...
Steve, we could always go later. Like august, the only reason I said mid July was for high country snow. I was hoping posting a date would spur conversation not put anyone off. I live here I can ride this stuff any weekend I see fit. What works best??
I want to throw a date out there and see how it goes. I know some of you were trying to tie this rally in with another on the east side but I think most of the BDR will still be snowed in come mid June... The weather is just too iffy to plan on IMHO. My suggestion would be the weekend of July...
Jellystone is only 8mi south of montrose and montrose has the full spectrum of hotel/motels. From flea bag to high end. And a Starbucks... just sayin... haha
I've driven by both and I would say the other one is quite a bit smaller. My main reason for my choice was location. I just got lucky that they had the amenities. There are three epic pavement twisty rides right there. Three easy off-road passes ( kebler, owl creek, last dollar Ed). And then of...

This was the place I had in mind. Showers, tent spots, meeting house, 8mi from Montrose (fuel/mechanic), and centrally located for a myriad of cool places.
I appreciate it!! I'll most likely need every bit I can get!!
I'm still wrestling with the June dates. I'm going to do some research today to see when historically the high passes have opened but I'm a little concerned we're pushing it. Not that I'm a stick in the mud but I would feel bad if...
High passes will most likely still be snowed in. I know it doesn't line up with the other event you guys mentioned but I was thinking more like mid to late July... thoughts?
I am willing to "host" a rally... There are quite a few options for camp/lodging that are centrally located among the many backroads and trails here on the western slope of CO. Having never even been to a rally I might need little help with some of the details but here is my offer of hosting...
When I was on my first Iron Butt ride I ran into TwoLukes and he invited me to this rally. I intend to take him up on his invitation so I'm eagerly awaiting a decision on the location and dates so I can get to planning!! As a side note, you can't go wrong anywhere in Western CO the riding here...
