Holy Cross CO

Anyone want to run Holy Cross on Thursday July 10th?
http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=11

Mid-week is a good time to run this trail since it can get crowded on the weekends.

I have to leave by 4:00 pm but I should have time to at least run the lower part of the trail.

Dammit - since I'm taking next week off, the week after is going to be rough to get out of!

How about doing it just before CO4RJ?

You mean that Fri Aug 1st? If so, yeah then too. I'm going to be in the area anyway the week of July 10th so I was going to check it out.

Maybe we could set a meeting place in Red Cliff, say about 8:30 am? Or do you know of a better place to meet up?

I like red cliff. The only other option is camp hale. Though a meeting place with cell servie might be more ideal. Like Vail...

Vail is fine with me, I'm actually staying there. No cell service in Red Cliff huh, didn't think of that. If there is someone else that wants to meet up coming from the south we could change it. Let's say 8:00am for Vail since that's farther away from the trailhead.

There is a McDonalds and a Subway next door in West Vail, we could get breakfast and lunch in one stop. Say leave from there at 8:00am? I called, the Subway opens at 7:30am. They are off I70 (north side). http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat....page/0#1194481

Right, so for us to do this Dale we'd have to shift the date to August...

Oh, I can't change the date for this run. Well except maybe by 1 day to July 11th. So anyone else interested in running July 10th?

Hey I can at least go and ride along. Unless Troy releases Red-Runner for me. Tippy is still out of commission. But I will happily ride along and be spotter and videographer for the trip! Want me to ask CoTTORA if they wanna go? A couple guys on there would be perfect for it. (Lockers and body protection!!)

Sorry Dale, not going to make it. I'm not going to be able to get out of work, as we have a big project that we are in the middle of.

My apologies.

Thanks Molly, but it looks like I may skip it now too. I kind of messed up my poorman's beadlock mod. I didn't read the instructions good before I did it yesterday and appearantly it takes the stuff about a week to cure. In the mean time the product actually makes the tire more likely to slip on the rim. I ran to the store after doing it and even at full pressure (40 psi) my tires slipped on the rim. The rear slipped about 6 inches and even the front (I guess from braking because I was in 2wd) slipped a few inches.
