I'd really like to make this year's edition!
Got you guys on the list. Most likely cut it of after this. Gonna be a fun run.
Still waiting to find out dates, but this may be one of my first big outings (fingers crossed Montana is first) after recovery... Looking forward to an always fun run.

What would be the fallout if it looked like a fella would have a conflict on Saturday such that he would have to drive down Sunday morning? Would meeting you Sunday be a possibility? Seems like it would mean I couldn't ride the train but still do the chase back, right?
Dave,
The plan is to Chase the train out of Chama Sat. Ride the train out of Chama to Antonito Sun, and chase the train out of Antonito (Whiplash Curve), Monday. You would be able to meet us Sunday at camp, above Sublette, NM.

Got it. Maybe I can find a partner who would want to join me in racing you guys riding the train on Sunday. Nothing is firm, I'm 99% firm Sunday-Tuesday. It's just I might need to be home Saturday.Dave,

Where is everyone camping on Friday night, at Sublette and driving to Chama on Saturday or camping at Chama and moving to Sublette on Saturday?
Hey all. Just got a group reservation set for the train ride. When booking your reservation, use code sun18. This will keep us all together. Also, when making reservation, we will be doing train ride on Sunday September 23rd. Taking the bus from Antonito to Chama. Train from Chama to Antonito.
Excited for the run!

I am going to have to back out of one of my favorite runs. Have family coming in that week.

Don't think I mentioned the train, but we will be riding the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. You can go herecumbrestoltec.com.

So id like to get an idea of who will be going on this run. Just a few weeks out. Really looking forward to this run, and riding the Cumbres and Toltec Railroad again.
The plan for the trip is:
Camp: We will base camp outside Antonito above the old track maintance town of Sublette, NM. GPS cords: 36.990746, -106.226839.
Saturday: We will chase the train out of Chama, NM. A section of this will be on pavement, but we will break off from the train using Apache Canyon to access Osier.
Sunday: Will be the train ride day. When getting your ticket, make sure to use promo code sun18. This will keep the group together. We are going to ride the bus from Antonito to Chama, and take the train from Chama to Antonito. You can call the Cumbres and Toltec to make your ticket reservation or go online- I haven't done that way yet, always called in.
Monday: We will start the chase from Whiplash Curve, waiting for the train from Antonito. This is one of the fun stretches to chase. We will be on dirt the whole time. Its a blast racing the train to the next photo opp. As well as trying to beat it to Sublette. Then ending back at Osier.
From there, folks can make there way back home. My surgery just got bumped to the next week in October, so have a few days to make my way home.
Really excited for this run!
I’m out. Can’t squeeze this into my schedule.

Also, are there plans for a convoy down or everyone just rally at the campsite?

Sorry, not going to make it this year. Too many conflicts in September and won't be able to squeeze this one in.....thanks for organizing it Perry. Still one of my favorite fall trips.
