Hey Matt,
Thanks for explaining the idea behind why you have choosen Slaughter House Gulch trail for the Blow of work run.
I had no idea it was a bit of a tradition that you have organized over the years.
As you pointed out, it makes sense from the stand point that we can meet in the afternoon, do a run together and still have time for pizza and beer.
I will see you at the SHG trail head on the 14th!
Thanks for organizing this over the years, as well!
If you decide to pre-run it, let me know I would like to do it with you.

we will be there, at least part of the family. 
red cone would be awesome...especially if SHG has been neutered...but we will go anywhere
might just have to do red cone this Sunday....

The plan is still to run Slaughterhouse Gulch with Red Cone as a backup. I do plan to try to prerun the SG trail to view the condition, but if it's smooth and easy, so what? It will get harder again as it rains and gets dug out (like SOB Hill on the Elephant Hill trail in Utah). If they bulldozed it last summer, it probably has gotten harder already.
My only issue with switching to Red Cone (which is an awesome trail) is that the last time we did it, we started at 8 a.m. and wheeled for a full day. The BOWAGW run is meant to be a run where you can still work a half day, leave at lunchtime, wheel with friends, eat pizza and then be home by 10 p.m.

good points. I might also run SG this Sunday just to check it out...

I was thinking the same thing as what Matt wrote above - Red Cone is fun, but the trailhead is a lot further drive and it is a longer trail. It would be doubtful we'd get back anywhere in time for pizza, and probably wouldn't get off the trail before dark.
I was also thinking of prerunning Slaughterhouse this weekend, and was thinking of calling Dan and seeing if he would be up for it, seeing as he lives so close to the trailhead. That'd be cool if we'd all coordinate a prerun and go together.

If I didn't know better, I'd say Chris has an itch to get out wheeling and needs some help scratching said itch....

Sorry Jeff, I'm camping this weekend up by Crystal Mtn/Moody Hill with fireworks on Loveland Res Sunday. I could sneak up to SHG this afternoon, though, so if you (or anyone else) wants to come give me a call. three o 3 eight98 5one ate one.
