Got any suggestions for a place for a shakedown run that isn't too far? Hoping to get out 16/17 to make sure my shit doesn't fall apart before TJ Fest. Normally I'd go to Rampart Range but I don't think it's open yet
Slaughterhouse Gulch over near Conifer. Super short, though I dont remember it being difficult. Its been a number of years since I've ran it (5 maybe?). There might be a seasonal closure for wildlife though so definitely double check.

Yep there was maybe 2 obstacles that were interesting that had bypasses that I rememberMy memory was that it was a dirt road with a lot of mall crawlers on it.

Be nice to not use the 7hour drive to Moab as the shakedown but I guess that's what I've done the last two times I've gone
I must have missed those!Yep there was maybe 2 obstacles that were interesting that had bypasses that I remember
Sounds about right, comparable to Yankee Hill. Close and always packedMy memory was that it was a dirt road with a lot of mall crawlers on it.
You did well last year. I'm excited to see how much better it is this time. But yes, I'd rather not do any dragging you around if possible.Be nice to not use the 7hour drive to Moab as the shakedown but I guess that's what I've done the last two times I've gone
They definitely weren't major at all. Just a few rocks lol by obstacle I mean "not a forest road section" onlyI must have missed those!![]()
The road up to Bill Moore Lake gets things twisted up nicely.
I'll check these out, see if they're openMcClellan Mountain above Georgetown has a few rockier sections. Especially on the low road along the creek.
Should be able to get to Waldorf by now.Whats Georgetown area look like? Been a minute since I've been up I70
Yeah I definitely don't want to be a damper on anyone else's vacation. I'm fairly confident with what I've done but it'd be nice to really be sure. At least with the skids I should be way less likely to break shit lol. And thanks! Yeah I'm really excited to see what it can do now. I've done a pretty good amount of work since last yearYou did well last year. I'm excited to see how much better it is this time. But yes, I'd rather not do any dragging you around if possible.
Is there much you need to get fixed? Time's a tickin. I have a list to work through and it's going to be tight I probably won't make it to seat heaters in timeThen again, I did the Rubicon last year then loaded it on the trailer and put it directly in storage until last weekend. This weekend I start fixing what I can for Moab.
Could he do Spring Creek? The garden would obviously be a major challengeShould be able to get to Waldorf by now.
Biggest one is checking for air locker leaks. My pump was running too much last year. Other than that I need to figure out how my radios work on privacy codes and I am planning to put the spare tire in the bed to get it off the back which means I may run a lighter rear bumper too.Is there much you need to get fixed?

Looks like a really fun trail... but maybe not the best place to make sure my shit actually works right? lolCould he do Spring Creek? The garden would obviously be a major challenge
