BogleyFest: Fruita, CO - Oct. 14-17

[accadacca]

My calendar is filling up quickly and this destination has been on the Bogley radar for several years. The helmetcam potential looks amazing on these trails and the scenery incredible. The video posted by MtnBkr sure wets the appetite! When is it too hot to go? Never?! :naughty:

I already have 3 weekends blocked in June. Lets throw some dates out there and nail something down. We have locals nearby that can show us around. July, August, beyond?? :popcorn:

Memorial Day?!?!?!?!? Too soon? :ne_nau:

Memorial Day?!?!?!?!? Too soon?


I'd go for too late rather than too soon. I used to live in Fruita and to me at least, it's usually too figgen hot around Memorial Day (and certainly July and August) for pleasant mountain biking. I might be interested if it were October.

October has my vote. I was there end of last May and it was 112!

Yikes!!

Perhaps end of September? Still too hot then? October might work too.

Id look into coming in the fall. Ive been to capitol reef in june and it was toasty!

[accadacca]

The last Saturday in September would work for me or Oct 15th weekend....

[blueeyes]

Last weekend in September is Xterra up in Ogden, I plan on racing again. So my vote is for Oct 15th.

[Sombeech]

I can't quite commit to anything right now, but I'll try to make whatever date you guys decide on.

I vote oct 15th too. Im penciling it into my calendar now.

[live2ride]

I can't 100% commit being so far out and the variables of adding a new baby in late Aug but I would be in for the OCT date. I hear there are some great family freindly campgrounds with facilities etc.

Looks like there will be at least one new trail built before this event happens..

I'm going!! Unless I do something stupid, the light should be green!! My wife's cousin lives in Grand Junction and is a Road/Mtn Biker. I will ask him to attend and to get me some local info.

[gholt]

I will pencil it in.

Sorry, I'm out....heading for Hawaii then.:cool2:..........to do some biking in Hawaiian Volcanoes Natl. Pk.

[blueeyes]

I say lets move this party to Hawaii! :haha: Don't know at this time if I can make Fruita, have to see what the cash flow is looking like closer to this date.

I'm sorry that you have to settle on that. Maybe next time.:bootyshake:

[Sombeech]

I just sat home on Father's Day weekend watching the kids while my wife ran RAGNAR, I think I can count myself in for Fruita.

[Garbanzo]

I just sat home on Father's Day weekend watching the kids while my wife ran RAGNAR,

Oh, that race is so unbelievable!! They run, and run and run and ... JK! Did anyone get GoPro footage? Yeah, I think NOT!!:fitz:
We will in Fruita! Maybe 3D by then, eh?

[nelsonccc]

Is this still on? I've got to start planning accordingly. I've got the 24hrs of Bootleg race on the 31st. So I'm only going to the fruits trip if we end up with a big Bogley crowd. So lets do this!

[live2ride]

looks like my schedule may be letting me do this....looks like I may already be in denver and just take a detour down to ride....How many are in so far?

[accadacca]

Still planning on it. What will the weather be like? Maybe this has been discussed... :ne_nau:

[live2ride]

with my luck it will be raining and 40 out....:cold:

[IntrepidXJ]

Doesn't look like I will be around that weekend, but if you want to plan on dinner somewhere in Fruita on Friday night, I'd like to meet up with you there....or something....

[accadacca]

Who is still on the list? RSVP here...might be the last big trip of the year!!!

[blueeyes]

I won't be able to make it.

[RedSpecialized]

Is this still on? Haven't heard much about it lately. Will it be muddy with all the rain?

[accadacca]

I think it's off. Nobody has responded and it's was supposed to be next week. Yeah, plus weather.

Have to try it again...

[REDFOX]

My vote is for St. George

[Sombeech]

I was kinda sitting on the fence about this too. So is there anybody interested in Fruita still? I just wanted to go because I've never been.
