2020 CO/Moab Wheelin' Trip Planning

[97TJGUZZY]

So Brent, Dial, and Taylor are out there on the Rubicon Today I think.

Life clearly isn't going to make this trip easy.

Brakes on the CJ still giving me a bit of a fit.... Work started off like a Kenosha riot this morning.... If it keeps up we may be having a longer vacation....

Ill raise you a Death in the family and a negative Covid exposure test.

If they had a nifty inreach, we'd know for sure.

They were replacing the master cylinder on Brent's YJ this morning and heading to the trail today. allegedly.

We should probably start a new thread for the actual trip now.

Prepped the trailer, aired up the truck, loaded all my shit in trailer, and cleaned up a little wiring. All I have left to do is fill my gas can, put the windows in the jeep, load the truck, and go shopping for road snacks.

I say we tag along with Matt Tuesday and Wednesday. Sunday is up in the air as it depends on how our trip goes. If we can join them for top of the world, we will. If not, we could do that Monday or Thursday. If we don't ride Sunday, I dont know that I would want to start with Pritchett.

9/6 Sunday: ?
9/7 Monday: Top of the world
9/8 Tuesday: Hells Revenge, Fins & Things, Rusty Nail to Golden Spike
9/9 Wednesday: Poison Spyder Mesa and Moab Rim.
9/10: Pritchett


Matt's original:
9/6 Sunday: Top of the world trail. Day long trail. Not extremely difficult. If day goes well, get some RZR time in.
9/7 Monday: Pritchett Canyon. Day long trail. Difficult.
9/8 Tuesday: Hells Revenge, Fins & Things, Rusty Nail to Golden Spike
9/9 Wednesday: Poison Spyder Mesa and Moab Rim.

is this the trail plan we are looking at? I'm looking to make some bike rental plans for a day we aren't riding.

How far ahead do you need to reserve for the bikes? It really all depends on when we get out there. If we can ride top of the world on Sunday the schedule gets less busy.

Would be really cool if you guys could join Sunday. Then some of you could join for Pritchett Monday morning. Tuesday and Wednesday are going to be the best temp days it looks like.

Have a few small things to do before it hits the trailer tomorrow. Fix ARB line, check everything over, install my trans tunnel heat deflection device.

If you got fancy pedals on your mountain bike, you can bring those. Rental shops are usually cool about swapping out pedals. Did that when I rented in Utah a few years ago, brought my SPD clipless pedals. Heck the shop down at Gulf Shores swapped pedals for my FIL on a road bike.
