I want to express how grateful I am to Jaxon for proposing this gathering in the first place. To me, a Central California guy, any place with more elevation changes than I have within a few miles of me would be good, and anyplace in Colorado is great. IMO, any venue has its good points and its limitations. Gunnison would have been OK, but it looks like it may be a little ride to the excellent mountain stuff. Ouray looks like it's in the heart of the good mountainy stuff, but perhaps has other limitations. Bottom line is, Jaxon stepped up to the plate and has taken on the job of pointman for this event, and I think we should support his research and decisions, and not try to second guess him, undermine him, or factionalize the forum members. He is sincere in his attempts to provide us all with good times next June. ::022::
