Colorado Krew Hangout

[Apparition]

Good deal, I plan on leaving around 6am, so maybe we’ll run into eachother. That’ll get me to 80 in Cheyenne about 6:30am. I have a 55 gallon tank on the Super Duty so I hopefully only have to make 1 stop if I can curb my caffeine intake. Showing 10h 40m for me.

Probably be a couple hours ahead of you.

I like to take 50 and get on 70 in junction. Not sure how much Ionger that is for you but 50 is a nice cruise

9 outta 10 times this is my route too. 70 is just god awful.

Come through Buena Vista on Hwy 285/24. Then through Leadville and to Minturn. So far the weather looks like the heaviest is north. The passs are not as high or steep.

We are leaving Saturday morning at about 6:30 and should hit 70 a little after 8:00. For us with stops it is about 11 hours or so.

I debated heading that way. From my house, that and 80 are almost same amount of time but 80 is an easier shot. Think I made up my mind, heading north

What's the best place to look for status of 70? We'll be coming through there early Saturday morning.

Looks like it'd add an hour to go through Salt Lake but I'd need to make that decision about half way through Nebraska.

Thinking about it, we may go through Salt Lake for a change of scenery.

There's an ap, Colorado trip planner. Snow doesn't bother me but it's last weekend of ski season. Going to be a shit show on 70 getting out of the city. If you can get through early and get ahead of it should be good but once it starts it'll last until who knows when

Billings was rowdy…super fun trail. I’ll post pics and vids when I get them from the guys.

I can't make it this week but Billings is on my list. I've heard mixed reviews about a TJ on 35s being able to make it. Put that on the summer group list
Holy Cross
Billings
I've still never done Black Bear or anything in the Ouray area

I think a well thought out TJ on 35’s would have a blast at Billings. Totally doable, you’d be taking the easier lines on some obstacles, but 100% worth doing!

That looks like a good day! How long did it take you guys to run? Heard it’s super short trail but can take awhile to get through

What?????

It took us 5hrs. Way too much time BSing in between obstacles, recovery, and trail repairs. I would say 2.5 hours would be realistic with a small group and normal stopping.

Here I was thinking I'd be able to run more trails this year. And then a co worker just put in his 1 week notice.

What’s a one week notice? Sounds like you need to put in your 3 day.

Sounds like your bosses problem don’t let them make it yours

@hosejockey61 and I are talking about wheeling 6/20 - maybe Spring Creek unless we think of something better.

Bummer! Hopefully you have a great time!

 

[TRevs]

We’ll probably be up in that area on 6/20 with 3-4 rigs, but we’ll be on the easier trails. Maybe we’ll cross paths
