Does CB/Irwin have terrain for a beginner rider? My GF will want to go, but this will be her first season riding.

Theres plenty of riding for all levels, my wife chased mtn-doo around for a afternoon on my old prowler. She did great, better then I was expecting.

I wouldent be uncomfortable taking someone there on thier first ride !

I would love to attend, we both work weekends which kind of rules it out.

It should be a fun ride !

sounds great, thanks from the heads up!
 
If I can make it I'll go ... I dunno how far away CB/Irwin is from Vernal, but I'm guessing it'd be about an 8 hour drive via Grand Junction.
 
Is it in the same area that you guys have had the poker run the last few years?

You can be at Buff pass parking or the Med Bow range out of Gould in a half hour from Walden (15 minutes the way you drive):D. If you haven't ridden the Medicine Bow range your don't know what your missing, but the locals like it that way ;) Probly 40 air miles worth of "Poker run" terrain from Grand Lake to up past Gould along the base of the Med Bow Range, but turn east anywhere along there and you climb from 9000' to over 12K in about 2 air miles. If you got the stones you can get to 13K legally! Then your in "Mud Butt" country and while the snow isn't as deep as Buff, by Feb. it's plenty good way up high and you can look down on the Park Range some 40 miles west from gnarly high peaks that not many get to. Our clubs, the CO Blizzards and the Snow Snakes out of Walden have been trying to punch a trail through to the Snowies for years, but hit another snag of late (read about it in CSA's paper). Shoot if everyone I ride with didn't go to the Ear's, I'd spend more time on the Med Bow. Can't beat that Ear's deep pow though, so I don't plan on swapping riding areas anytime soon :)

Vernal:eek:, Shouldn't take more than eight hours on a plane! He!!, I'm planning on riding one day and driving two! lol Course, I'm at the other end of the state.

If the roads are good I bet I could get there in 5 hours ;)

And I have been known to leave Vernal as early as 3:00am just to show up at RE, so I'm pretty sure I could be @ CB at a reasonable time providing I'm not driving in blizzard conditions :)

If your planning the ride I am in. Picked up the sleds the other day. Traded for them. I live in Berthoud. Just so you know.

I am looking for riding partners as well. I plan on going every other weekend, maybe every weekend. Let me know thanks Jeff



arfce...let's think about all riding together from the Denver area if we can get everything to line up with all of us:) I got a four place enclosed I will prolly be taking, so we can fill it up to save some $$$!

I need to have you show me around up there sometime. I really wanna hit those climbs that you posted in the "anticipation" thread.
 
DooGirl and I are down for it. We had a blast in Gunni (Last Chance Bar if I recall) and the snow was great. Locals were friendly and the hotel was nice (wagon wheel).
