Last question. I've never been there. Collective thought, Moto-lite or Demo 7 with one ring up front? Probably only have room for one bike.
Oh shit. Anyone else have any suggestions for big group spots?Quote:

Hmmm. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Hmmmm. I think I'm in, I just need to double check with my better half tonight.
Depends what rides you want to do. But bring the D7 since I'm bringing mine and we can be bike buddies ;) 2 rings is ideal but I've done Moab on 1 ring before and it's doable.Quote:

Agreed. I rarely pedal my moto-lite with them (at least on Porcupine, which is really the only trail down there, right?) :)Quote:

Something tells me I'm about to be waaaaay undergunned no matter what I ride. :eek:
Damn this ALMOST makes me wish I wasn't going to be in the Sawtooth's for 4 days. :fm:
I hate work!!!
Fuq it. I'm in. I'll leave at the crack Sat morning from SLC. See y'all there.
You might want to bring 2...Quote:

Any special leaded beer requests?
Anything from the PNW region. I get plenty of leaded beer in OH, just not the really good west coast stuff. I will also be bringing lots of 3.2 Coors Light for hydration :FIREdevilQuote:

I will do my best to make it, dfinn or not.
I'm almost definite at this point. The only issue is that I only have 1 bike rack on my roof. Any chance you got one that fits Thule bars or a vehicle that will fit 2 bikes? Worst case scenario we can stick it in the car, it's a wagon.Quote:

Anyone bringing a BBQ, by chance? I'd love to make some duck balls for all to enjoy.
Dammit this would have been a good weekend to haul on down and bust my Moab cherry.
Oh well.
I'm definitely in. AGs, I hear you're going to get down there first. Would you mind holding a spot for shmoesmith and myself? I'm guessing we'll be down there sometime around 1am Friday night/Saturday morning.
Guess it is going to be an AS-X trip since I don't have my 29'er back.
Was there any question?Quote:

That said - I reserved Kyle to shuttle us on Saturday and we're over-full, and that's with phatfreeheeler and his crew self shuttling. Some of the late committers are going to have to call Coyote or something...
^ what time is the shuttle you reserved? I'll call the other shop(s) and see if I can find something at the same time.
10am, D.
As an FYI - last weekend we tried to 'reserve' a shuttle through Poison Spider. They didn't take reservations, but told us to show up 15 minutes early. We showed up a half hour early and made it on the first shuttle. They filled two vans and and turned some people away. I guess they usually use Kyle as a backup, but he was booked too.Quote:

I don't have a lot of experience with other shuttle companies, but avoid the Coyote Unimog if you can - it's SO SLOW! :)
thanks for the info. I'll start making calls in a couple of hours, I've got some new skis to go get mounted at BC.com :)
Does anyone else need me to try and make a reservation for them?
Everything Coyote runs is slow. The stretch Vanagon is cool for novelty the first time, but after that it's just annoying. Walking would be faster than that deuce and a half.Quote:

Sorry for the pissy hijack, but I'm out for Friday and am bummed.

Dude. What the fack? Why brave the Festival crowds when you could be with us? Feeling like we do....like we love to! I miss you, my dear Xiola. But seriously...can it and come on over for some duck balls and good times!Quote:

ok, Coyote sounds lame and PS doesn't take reservations. Does anyone else know of any other shuttle services?
PS will probably work for you, just get there early, and be agressive about talking to the drivers if there's a crowd.
I was so hurt you didn't save me a shuttle spot, I pulled a Kathy Bates on my ankles. :D Oh, and also because the kid is sick again and I can't ditch the 'lil lady. I am super bummed that I won't get to see this --> :yourock: <-- in person.Quote:
