I will jump on slee goodie bag and T-shirt (xl). That's good to hear slee is sponsoring kick off party. Thanks to @sleeoffroad.

 

[Willy beamin]

yes - Thank you SLEE OFFROAD for your support!

I'll take a large t-shirt please

 

[JamesC]

Thank you @sleeoffroad

JamesC: L
DawnC: S

If only one per truck (we'll both be driving) then give it to DawnC please.

Thank you for asking them @codyaustin5 It's unfortunate they can't attend

I would love my backseat drivers/photo crew to have Sleeoffroad shirts also so we can fully represent them out on the trail... If need be I have no problem paying for the extra shirts. 3 women's mediums for the crew and XXL for me, thanks again Slee!!!

 

[DawnC]

Whoa. Things just got serious! Sponsors and all that?!

 

[MScruiser]

Damn! Now I am sick that I can't go.

It's gonna be so much fun.

 

[Canyonero]

I'm a definite for this event. I'm either a +1 or +4 depending on our sitter status that weekend.

Medium shirt please!

Amory also told me on Friday (while I was writing a big check, ahem, ouch!) that Slee can't be present at our event but is going to hook us up anyway. Cool guys!

Has anyone who is taking their 200 to this event actually run Black Bear Pass? I'm very curious--after watching numerous YouTube videos--how well our turn assist does on the switchbacks. Can we avoid 3 point turns? Anyone with experience, chime in.

My wife likes wheeling with me occasionally but HATES drop offs... Not sure how I'm going to sell this trail. Might have to add chloroform to my list of supplies.

I also have a drone I will be bringing, we should get some epic footage.

 

[elkaholic]

I have not run Black Bear in the 200, but have run it several times in other rigs. I do not think that a 3 point (or more) turn can be avoided on the switchbacks.

 

[Willy beamin]

Only 79 days and I'll be wheeling into Ouray

EDIT: Whoops, should have posted this in the chat and BS thread. My bad.

Hey all - so we have 13 confirmed so far. Looks to be a great group! Please make sure I have your t-shirt size so Slee can get his goodie bags together.

Also we should narrow down 4 trails we want to do and we can start voting from that list. See post #1 with details of each trail. Remember each trail will last 6-8 hours for the most part so more than likely we'll only have time for 1 trail on Saturday and Sunday. We may be able to squeeze a short one in the late afternoons. Start posting your vote and we'll tally up the top 4.

Another thought is we can split into 2 groups and do different trails and rotate the following day so we all get some time to get to know each other.

Looks like I was able to convince the wifey to come so I may be getting a room in town. Going to check around tomorrow. Would rather camp, but she's being a good sport hanging with me in the car for 4 days for 2 days of heaven. Where are any of you staying who aren't camping?

 

[codyaustin5]

We got a townhome in town through vrbo.com. They had a good selection of homes, cabins, condos.

I'm booked at the Twin Peaks lodge and hot spring - ooh lala. I went off of Cody's suggestions seeing how he's been to Ouray multiple times
