Howdy folks - we’ve got 15 peeps registered with two tentative. If you’re interested, do feel free to reach out. We may be able to squeeze in a few more trucks - just hoping to keep this manageable from a coordination, logistics and impact level (e.g. don’t want to have 100 trucks on a trail at a time).

When we used to prerun for Cruise Moab, we'd typically split up into smaller groups of 3-5 rigs each and each group do different trails. I can't remember the exact number but more than a certain number of trucks in a group requires a BLM permit too.

Yeah - that’s in the back of my mind.

The BLM guidelines I could find aren’t clear, but it looks like smaller groups are fine. We’ll break into small trail groups for sure.

Feel free to "give" someone else my spot. I'm really most interested in chilling & hanging out, and running the miles for my training plan. I do not need to hit trails in my truck to be happy. And this is assuming I don't get sick from international travel :D

Feel free to delete if this is an inappropriate side-quest request...
Anyone coming through Durango instead of the more common
I70 to GJ route?

I have 5 tires that I bought from Trey (satchel) that I'm trying to find a ride for.
I'll pitch towards gas if anyone happens to have room and are taking the more
Southern Colorado route.

Can you clarify? Are the tires coming from Denver and need to get to Durango? I might could intercept, do short term storage and eventual meet up.

Kicking around heading over to Moab as an overnight invasion of their camp, maybe get in a bike ride, but that's not 100%. I'm fair weather in that sense.

Yes, They are in Erie and need to get to Durango.

Does anyone who's going have a code reader that will reset tire warnings? I'd love to have someone help me reset mine.

Howdy folks - getting closer to the trip.

A few updates:
  • Camping will be at the BLM location above on the first post. Be prepared with your own toilet solutions!
  • We need some trail leaders and gunners. I'm planning on leading moderatish trails. Please reach out via PM if you can volunteer and I'll get a thread going.
  • I may be able to get out Thursday evening.

Do we have a shortlist of trails we're thinking of hitting? Happy to Lead / Gun as long as it's one I'm familiar with etc.

Think I'm currently going to try and get out Thursday night or Friday morning. Will likely trailer out as I'm soft and like the comforts of the truck camper :D

I'm planning to arrive Friday morning. Debating on going to RS meeting on Wednesday then I'm looking to camp Thursday on BLM at 39.2878114, -108.8286052 near Rabbit Valley if someone is looking to caravan with me that would be great. Otherwise, I'll just skip the meeting and drive from my home in the south to the Thursday camp spot and plan to arrive at the Moab camp spot Friday morning. I'll be going slow, but let me know here if you're interested.
