Early October would probably work. Don't change any dates for me if it works better for everyone else. I haven't done a bunch of research yet but helps revenge is pretty tough from what I remember. Is hells gate optional?

Sorry more like the 11th thru the 19th. Probably to late for you though. It's the dates my kid has off from school . It is pretty rough when you got kids in school and a wife on call to schedule anything.

That's a little late for my preference. Hells isn't really that difficult. Both Hell's Gate and the escalator are both optional on that trail.
I figured. If I go myself I will probably take the jeep and do some easier trails. Take the top off and get a tan.
Matt. I'm off on those dates too. I'd definitely be interested in going during that time.

You'd be surprised what you'd be able to do with the Rubi. Don't sell it short. Hells and Fins are overrated, and I would consider them easy trails. Just for frame of reference: close to bone stock 100 series were doing those with absolutely no issues.

Looks like most of ya'll are looking at mid-late October dates, which is a bummer. No dramas though, that's how it goes. Unfortunately, I'd be leaving for training in California the week after that, and I know with the ramp up involved, it wouldn't be possible for me to leave that late.
Looking through the TLCA events, I may try to take a look at this as something to do instead. Sounds interesting, and a bit different than the crawling found in CO. Looks more like my days back in KY!

I'm still a big maybe, even with that time off in October. Wish I could make it with you in September, but now that I'm teaching again, my free time is completely dictated by the district calendar.
SMORR is less than an hour from my parents place. Supposed to be a neat area. Hope to make it out there someday soon.
. I know the rubicon can do some stuff it's just what am I willing to let it do is the problem. I am not quite ready to wheel it hard yet. Honestly mosquito pass was a little more than I wanted to throw at it but it worked out just fine. Travis your welcome to go with me if you want but if plans change and you could go with the moose it won't hurt my feelings either. Darn school and hunting always in the way. I would say if I got an elk early I would go but that will most likely never happen. I said that in hopes I get one at all.

Not an issue if nobody can make it earlier than that. I'll find a way out there at some point. Just wanted to get another fix before the winter
However, if for some reason, we get pulled off that training for late October, I'd be more than happy to go.At this point, I'm looking at either heading to SMORR, or possibly heading to Moab over Labor Day weekend since Red Rocks 4 Wheelers puts on an event. I'm leaning towards Labor Day as I'd be able to run much harder trails than some of you would probably prefer (Steel Bender, Moab Rim, Behind the Rocks), not that I wouldn't love to run any trail out there. The experience is so much unlike what we deal with here.
Well if there is a change I will let you know. I would have to do some research but I think I would be up for behind the rocks sometime. It looks like a very cool trail and Trevor recommended it I think as one of his favorites. Don't quote me on that though.

I would like to try to make it to moab if you do go. I don't normally like the longer road trips in the truck, but while we live "close" to Moab (a move might be coming when my wife gets her degree next year) I think I should try to get out there once. I can't run the most extreme trails there in my truck for sure. But from what I can see, I think I am comfortable with the moderatly hard trails, skipping the optional obastacles, like you said.
I can't make it labor day weekend because I have friends coming to stay with us. But I'm pretty flexible...I just need to get time off approved at work. Anyway, I'll keep watching. If this materializes, I will try to go.
What. First Travis might go now he is staying now you may leave. Say it ain't so. I hope you can stay in this beautiful state.
