Colorado 4M Ride Final Details!

Yep, working on it. :) Something called work keeps interferring...but at least my work isn't taking me to Dubai or Georgia this week, so all's good. :D

CBRob is going to be at the Kebler trailhead at 9. I'm thinking we will be meeting in Gunnison (lot across the road from Gunnison Motorsports) at 7:30, leave out around 7:45, some going to Ohio Creek, some going to Kebler. I've got several guys lined up to lead groups, need to verify which side leaders are more comfortable with (let me know guys) and go from there. I'll be with PowderKing in a blue 4 door Ford pulling a gray 2 place enclosed. And if you are looking for me on the mountain, I ride an all black Mountain Max (no stickers other than registrations) with triple pipes.

Thats is a good reminder. It was said a while back, One of the few times a year that registration is checked is Presidents Day weekend. Not only do you need the sticker, they want to see the reg. card and a photo Id. That is what they asked me for in December.
 
BeerGut put the smack down on the ex and let her know that Steph will have a great time or is that what she's concerned with....

Will I have the only chick on the hill? Oh well she rides better than me and certainly looks better at the keg.
 
I really wish that I could make it. I had to cancel my plans to head down this weekend cause of some unforeseen circumstances.:mad: So I have to ride locally this weekend. It'll be alright, there is a pretty big system headed towards NW Colorado so the area should have some real good riding!

You all have fun and be safe. Plenty of peeps to watch each others backs.:D
 
Man, I've got to ask, why such a small turnout this year? is it because the events in CB/Gunni? is it really that much farther to drive than rabbit ears or Vail pass? Regardless, I'm sure we will have a great time. I am really liking the odds for the raffle!

I don't understand it either.... If it wasn't for this damn thing called work, I'd be there... I don't understand everyone bailing out, yet still going riding... Oh well, there loss is everyone elses gain..... The odds for the raffle are going to be great.... I am having Chad get me some tickets, so make sure he doesn't swap out the good chit for himself:eek::D

Take lots of pics.... Hopefully in march I will be able to get down to CB to go riding... Really want to check the area out...
 
Can people that aren't going buy tickets?

Sorry I can't make it

The crew does want to make a trip to CB this year.
 
I'm still planning on it... Have previous commitments friday night, will be out there saturday morning. Finally picked up my ramp today too!

What's the easiest way out there from the denver area? Any road closures or side streets that we should be aware of?

Top 10 Reasons 08 4M Ride will have only 3 members show up:

(10) CB Has too much snow - you have to walk down snow stairs to the restaurants
(9) Vail & RE are closer - 7hrs on I-70 is quicker than 4hrs to CB and I have a discount parking coupon
(8) RE has hotter chicks
(7) Snotracker's $87,000.00 groomer needs another $4000.00 tire. Donations anyone?
(6) 450" of snow at Irwin is a bit lean for February, I'll go next year
(5) CB Rob will win all the raffle prizes anyways
(4) See reason#10
(3) Avalanche risk exists - everywhere, duh.
(2) Dude, I'll be at RE at 6:45am w/ my grill & beer-helmet- leaving Denver at 2:15am
(1) How do you split 3 riders into four groups?

Real update: I rode Irwin today, and it was a mix of spring-like warm weather and fresh snow in the trees. People are staying off of all of the upper stuff as it hasn't slid yet. Base is about 12-16 feet deep. It was kind of go-anywhere snow with lots of tracks up the lower, southern hills that couldn't be touched over the last month or two. Looks like the groomer was out recently, and once they fix the wheel - it'll be out again soon. Crystal clear day - could see forever. Didn't think about work once. ;-)

Looking forward to meeting new folks at the 4M ride!

I have hit the 4m ride for several years and there is typicaly more than 30 people any given year. Heck a few years ago it was in Grand Mesa and the snow sucked and the drive was long but that did stop a large bunch of good riders from attending. Is it possible that everyone is programed to get on I-70 and wait in the traffic? I'm looking forward to a new area off the traffic corridor with cheap hotels.
 
Part of my group from Grand Junction is headed up early tomorrow morning to get a ride in around Taylor Park if anyone is interested. We (four riders) would like to ride with a group out of the Kebler parking lot on Saturday and Sunday if that works. We will be staying at the Quality Inn in Gunnison and driving a red crew cab Chevy duramax pulling a white four place haulmark. We have been to every 4M ride since the beginning and we did not want to miss this one.
 
Actually, doesn't look like numbers are terrible, ended up with 45 RSVP's...would be nice to have more, but would be nice to win some of the prizes too... :devil: Don't worry Allen, I'll keep your stuff separate. :)

Snow is looking DEEP, should be some good riding with the snow supposed to be falling today. :) Just make sure everyone looks at the highmarking an avalanche run pictures and DON'T DO THAT!!!:eek:
 
No new snow in Gunnison this morning, 5 new inches at the ski area reported.

Then there is the "IRWIN FACTOR". there is no snotel in Irwin but there is one at Scholfield Pass which reports well and typically less than what Irwin gets. This morning it is reading 11 inches in 7 hours!

Glad to hear the RSVP's are better than the threads on here would show.
It's snowing again - probably another 8-10" last night in CB South, and more to come. Somehow Irwin get's nearly twice what we do here in town.

Got tears? lmfao

It's always been the north against the south, always will be.;) Having said that, those of us all have our reason for not making it, I'm sure the turnout
would have been the same wether it was at R.E. or C.B or anywhere..

... and I don't drink!
