[Sombeech]

We'll be riding in St George Feb 17th thru the 19th. All are welcome to join us at the trailhead(s).

These are some possible trails we will hit. Plans may change though:

Guacamole Trail
Slickrock Swamp
Little Creek Mountain
Green Valley Loop (Bear Claw Poppy)

Date and time are not yet decided for these trails. This weekend is on the Calendar up top.

Lodging: It's filling up fast, as this is President's Day Weekend. There are very few rooms left available in St George, and you'll have better luck in Hurricane. This is also closer to most of the trails than St George.

The Travelodge in Hurricane still has some Double Bed rooms available for $85 a night. Here's the number-- 435-635-4647

Let me know when your coming down and I'll plan on showing you around the Guacamole.

Cool! We'd love to have you show us around. We'll let you know what day we decide to ride it. Thanks man.

We need to come up with an agenda.....

I would like to try some new stuff. But I would like to at least ride one trail that I KNOW rocks.

I am really looking forward to a good seafood buffet too.

St. George biking makes me horny. I had a catostrophic deraileur failure deep into Gooseberry once and had to ride out with the deraileur in my pack and the chain shortened to one fixed gear...aah memories! My wife got me a brand new Kona for a combo Christmas & birthday gift. St. Joe would be the perfect place to pop that cherry- but alas. I'm saving all my time off for the Grand Canyon. Shed some blood for me!

That's affirmative. I'm really looking forward to adding to our Trip Report Index, but I also don't want to ride ONLY unfamiliar trails, risking a dissapointing weekend.

Thanks to Mtnbiker's TR on Slickrock Swamp, I'd like to give it a try. Also thanks to Shuntavi, Guacamole Trail looks interesting.

Little Creek Mountain is supposed to be all the rave right now, but that may be just because it's unofficially off limits.

We've only been on two of the trails on Gooseberry Mesa, and we could expand our portfolio of the Mesa as well.

[Sombeech]

OK, how about this?

Friday - Guacamole Trail (or we could rearrange so Shuntavi could show us around)

Saturday - Slickrock Swamp

Sunday - Little Creek Mountain

Also, let's get a communication network going, so we can all plan on meeting at the trailhead. Everybody who would like to come down and meet up, please e-mail your Cell phone #s to me at jeepjustinjeep AT yahoo.com. I will send you mine in return.

It's very possible that we'll be changing plans quite often, knowing how indecisive I am. That's why I'll need your input. Let's hear your requests for trails, and date/times that you want to ride them.

Please reply to this post if you are going down. So far, we've got:
Sombeech
accadacca
KillEmAll
Chivato
MY T PIMP*
fourtycal
greyhair biker
& my uncle Mark*

*may not ride all trails with us.

I'm cancelling 2 rooms in Hurricane at the Travelodge this afternoon (Monday).

Let me know before then if anybody wants them.

Cool! This same weekend? We'll have to meet up, and get some good footage. You should throw 'em up here after you've got the photos and/or video.

[greyhair biker]

Cool! I wasn't sure if I was going to bring my RM9 down, but now I HAVE too :cool:

[Sombeech]

OK, I've just cancelled two rooms in Hurricane.

There's a good chance that some rooms have openned up in St George due to some cancellations. If you do not have lodging, try St George first, then Hurricane. Hurricane is a convenient location though because it's closer to the trails.

Workin' for the weekend.......

SO WHAT IS THE CURRENT COUNT OF WHO IS GOING?

SO WHAT IS THE CURRENT COUNT OF WHO IS GOING?

Looks like we'll be hitting the trail with atleast 8 of us, possibly up to 12. There's a couple of people who will be coming down, but they may only ride one of the trails with us.

BTW, I saw that you called me, Jeremy. Sorry I couldn't pick up. And I just remembered now that you called. I'll call you back tomorrow.

[ogdmfg]

cool

[fourtycal]

Is there a trail guide for guacamole? I found the rest but nothing for guacamole.

[mtnbiker62]

I'm gonna keep driving a little farther and go to Bootleg Canyon. We're gonna watch the race and ride the trails down there...might be a few degrees warmer! :P

[Shuntavi]

Meet at Chums in Hurricane at 7:00 AM leave at 7:30, we are riding Guacamole trail.
