I am in. I'm coming from Thornton myself, anyone interested in caravaning our 'M&Ms' from the metro area?

damn....had no time at all to work on Ocho, and with no brakes at all and the front left wheel at risk of falling off 'again', we are out this year...but Ocho will be back next year! Have fun guys
Dude are you rolling if rom North Dakota?
Still not positive if we can leave in time, I'll be in Vail and that's 100 miles to the east. If I trailer the 40 to the trail, what would the suggestion be for where to leave a big truck and trailer that's not too inconvenient from the end of the trail?
Finally, I've mentioned before that my 40 didn't run perfectly normal at altitude, anyone techy enough to help me adjust timing etc?

Getting super excited for this! We missed last years run because I wrote it down on the wrong date on the calendar...
...I didn't realize until I saw the trip report that night...SHEESH!

I'm in Broomfield, we can roll together.
I'm at Tower and I-70. Where do you want to meet up?

Walking out the door now to prerun both trails today. I hope the weather holds for the weekend.
Can anyone give me logistics advice for these three things:
1) Will trailer my rig to near meet up point. Where would be best to park tow rig for the day? Not quite sure where it's ending. Should I leave it somewhere near I-70 and if so, any suggestions so I don't get ticketed?
2) Buddy flying in from KC to ride with me, can someone suggest a car service/taxi etc to get him a ride to DIA at the end of the day?
3) Kingston Pass is one of the trails, is that the only one for Sat, or is there a connecting one? I'm downloading to gps ahead of time.
Thanks!

I'm in, but will be late. I will try and catch everyone!
Doing my own homework here:
1) My buddy is going to stay overnight, so no need for taxi advice.
2) Called Beau Jo's, the lot to the S of them is public and no time restriction for parking, that's where I'll be dropping the rig.
Looking forward to the trip - whoever's trip leader if you wouldn't mind giving me a cell number so I can call with last minute issues, that would be great. john (at) warfordortho.com if you'd rather email it.
Thanks!

Drove both trails today, both are awesome and a lot of fun. Barbour Fork was much more challenging but nothing a 40 can't do with some driver skill and tires.
I did notice a lot of NO CAMPING signs, I am calling Clear Creek tomorrow to see if we can actually camp there or not. There are plenty of campsites, but there looks like a lot of FS Signage stating otherwise.
If camping is a no go, maybe we run both trails with Idaho Springs being the half-way meal stop. I ran both trails in about 3.5 hours solo... in the 100.

I'll PM you. If you are looking for a camping spot near Idaho Springs I've got one you're welcome to.

Weather permitting (and differential install) I am hoping to make this run. Will be towing up and hopefully dropping the truck/trailer at the restaurant mentioned above. Hoping to spend the night in C-springs then dropping Mrs. off in Denver near 225 & 70 then heading toward Rollinsville Saturday morning. What should Denver traffic be like that time in the morning?
