We're in!!!! And we don't mind leading- since we've done it before. As far as a meeting place- it depends on all whos' going. I think for the Ft. collins folkes - it's out of your way to meet in masonville (need confirmation on this) - and if no one else chimes in from the south - we don't need to meet in masonville either. We could just meet at the trail head. Hmm. We can finalize it this week.

Any FT. Collins people in touch with Ziad? Maybe he would want to come. And I'm sure he knows the best route from Ft. Fun.

John

No. For the rockier parts where you might get close to needing sliders there are bypasses. You will be fine. It would be nice to meet you Crux. Travis (Outllaw27 - and my neigbor) just was over here commenting on how much he enjoyed your company at the meet and greet.

I ran it withouth sliders last year with 2" bl and 2" suspension, there was one part where it was close but with the right line you should have no problem in your runner. You got enough lift to not have to worry about it.

Okay, so far i've got Ric, Crux, Mojo, Flygt, COCajun.

Digger, you coming? How bout Dekri? C'mon, it'll be fun and some good challenges. I've got no sliders, and not worried, there are pics on trail damage of this trail, and some guys got a stock wrangler, and he's looking just fine.

Mojo, the trail head should work for a meeting place. There is also the Stove Prairie School (old historic Schoolhouse) thats works well as a gathering point. Both are straight west of Fort Fun via Rist Canyon Road.

You Denver area guys may want to break off of 25 on 34 (towards Estes) in Loveland and connect to Stovie Prairie road at the south end. Either Direction the two loctions mentioned above will work well, everybody just needs to fill up before they get out of Loveland or Fort Collins. I don't think there is any gas anywhere on Stove Prairie Road except for possibly masonville.

Okay, so it sounds like we are going to meet at a little store in masonville. We'll meet there at 9:30 (unless it takes longer than 20 mins to half an hour to get to the trail head from masonville, someone let me know) Folks from Ft. Collins can meet us at the trail head at 10. I want to meet in masonville because i'm not sure how to get to the trail, and i'm not sure everyone else is either. Mojo Risin is going to lead the run, since i've never done it.

Bring a lunch, and we'll do CB Channel 4.

I imagine digger, ric and us will caravan up. We all live fairly close to one another. Crux could meet us in Thornton as well if he wanted. then we'd really just be rolling through masonville to hook up with Ike.

I think about 20-30 mins to get from masonville to moody trailhead is about right. Never really timed it.

Okay, so it looks like Mojo, Digger, Ric, and Crux will meet in denver, then meet me in masonville. We'll meet COCajun and Flygtenstein at the trail head at 10am. If i've left anyone out, let me know, so we know to wait for people.

I PM's Ziad - he's got a bachelor party to be at by 4. So he probably won't make it. Adrian you could meet us in Masonville as well then.

So lets say anyone who wants to meet in Thornton - lets meet at the Discount tire / Diamond Shamrock on 120th & I-25. - gassed and ready to leave by 8:30. (for those who don't know - go north on i-25 to 120th - go east on 120th 1 block to Grant - left on Grant there is a Diamond Shamrock and Discount tire store on the corner.)

John

Hopefully I can get my CB installed by then.
