Ross, if a way can be ironed out to get the club trailer to the rally that Saturday I'd like to be on the trip.
I've always wanted to do this. Please put me on the list.

Been, debating with myself whether to go Recovery training vs. this. Trails will win every time. Please put me down for this run, rig and me ready plus the fact I love all the RS runs I've ever been to. Such a great group of folks.
I’m in, please add me. Also I have an open passenger seat in my 80.
You can remove tentative off my name. I am in. Rachel is only tentative because as a Nurse she doesn't know her schedule this far out, but will put in for those days off and just needs to make sure it gets incorporated.

Hello all. My name is Ross Miller, I am Bruce and Barbara Miller's younger son. My family have been members and supporters of Rising Sun for over 25 years. You my or may not know, my father passed away early this year from a long fought battle with Parkinson's Disease.
In about 1998 while out camping and exploring our family came up with the idea for running 3 high mountain passes in one day. We ran a couple of iterations of our event in the making and it came to be called the Triple Bypass. @DaveInDenver has shown off his sweatshirt we made for the official event's participants that year, you may have seen it. We began with Schofield Pass, Pearl Pass and Taylor Pass and it eventually made more sense to go Italian Creek Pass, Pearl Pass and then Taylor Pass. My folks lead it for quite a number of years in a row (along with many trails for Cruise Moab, Ouray run and other club trips) and after many successful runs passed the torch to @wesintl. Wes lead the TBP for many years after and even came up with a double triple bypass.
I am bringing this run to reality this year and have asked the help of @Stuckinthe80s (as he lead a successful run) and a few others to make another successful run of it now and moving forward. Nic said he might not be able to be there due to family commitments but assured me his support and info from when he ran it a year or so ago. I am sure there will be bugs that will need worked out along the way, I truly appreciate your patience. Due to snowpack, holiday weekends and family commitments, we are tentatively planning it for the weekend of September 9, 10 and 11th and plan to camp in Dorchester Campground just like the old days.
Be forewarned, the number of trucks will be limited to 10 good mechanical condition trucks maximum and drivers will be required to have the skills and ability and confidence to keep up the fast pace to complete 50+ miles of technical offroad driving in one day. This run is NOT for beginner drivers with stockish trucks nor the faint of heart and you MUST keep moving. No dillydallying.
There is an open invitation for those who may want come out and hang out for the weekend and not be subjected to the abuse of the trails themselves. I believe my mother Barbara will be there, @Groucho and Bruce Westlund may be as well among others, we hope to see the old heads out for at least a visit if not run it with us.
Please be assured, I will watch this thread as closely as possible but might not check it every day. Again, I appreciate your patience. Please consider the requirements of this run and your own schedule before asking to be added to the list. We hope to make this a really great run!
The official communications will be via 2M HAM and an FCC license is required to operate/transmit a station-no exceptions. If you are interested and thinking about getting your HAM license, I do know that both @DaveInDenver and @Groucho have given many classes to prepare people for their exams. If we get enough interest, we might be able to get them to do another preparation session for those interested so you're able to take your exam and get your license.

I'd like to ride shotgun with you fine sir!
It feels like I've been on more club runs as a passenger than a driver.
I need to pull out of this guys. Hopefully there is enough time to get someone in my spot.

Ross - does that mean I am in? Chris Herring
I’d love to make this run but not in the cards for me. I have a white rim permit for the weekend prior and will be playing catch-up as a result of a couple days out of the office.

UPDATE POST!
We are having t-shirts made for this run and need a head count with sizes. (We have our 10 drivers, a couple of extra passengers and of course the folks who will be present but may not elect to drive (@Jethro and @Groucho) which I estimate at +/- 25 people.) Let me know how close I am in my estimation please.
We are planning to run only enough for drivers and for who are riding along in our 10 truck cap. We ask for this info (your shirt size) before end of day Monday August 8th so we can place the order. Thank you!
