When I am in the area, I usually stay at Ridgway State Park. They do not have cabins AFAIK (like the KOA), but the price is right at the sites are very nice.
I just used the trip calculator on gas buddy.Trip Cost Calculator - Maximize Your Fuel Savings - GasBuddy.com
A little under $500 bucks in fuel roundtrip from Dallas. Would love to make the trip. I'll see if I can get me

Jason, there is a great crew from TOD/TRDParts4u that does a caravan from Dallas. I am sure they would love to have you and your join in. They will leave from the Cabelas in Ft. Worth on the Sunday the 15th and head up to Raton and camp at the KOA that night then on into Ouray the next day. If you are interested I will hook you up with Wilson, he is heading up the convoy.
My wife and I will leave Austin either on Friday or Saturday and head to Santa Fe for a couple of days then on up to Ouray to get everything set up. If y'all come decide to go the Santa Fe route we could hook up for some great dinner and margaritas!

I work in Missouri during the summer months, but I could definitely take two days off to come up there and ride with y'all. Just need to build those sliders and skids first.

^ Order that stuff and have a vendor deliver it to the Summit! Plenty of help will be available to complete the install....
Keep me posted on what you do. I may be able to meet you in Missouri and ride out with you. Won't be bringing the 100 though
Maybe if the snorkels come in, you can bring me one??
I sent an email. I'd like to contribute some product for the raffle etc. I might even try to make the trip too (in a 100 of course)

Carl, I just responded to your email. Thanks for the generous offer and I hope we see ya in Ouray!
Thought I would let y'all know that we just had a call with Falken Tire and they are now an official Summit sponsor and they are wanting to make a BIG impact. We are also in talks with Discount Tire, they have been a sponsor for the last four years and last year was very beneficial. We are working on something really cool with them and as soon as I am able I will pass on the info.

Definitely will need to think about doing that. It's still fun to build your own custom stuff though. And Nick I will let you know if I am able to go and we can figure out riding there together.
Looks like this is a go! Anybody care to share their trail selections? It's always fun to roll with other 100s.

Both are true depending on the route!
The 17-20 would be via Imogene Pass, 50 would be via pavement. They are probably similar as far as time goes.
Thursday Trail Run: California Pass and Corkscrew Gulch at 07:30 AM
Friday Trail Run: Poughkeepsie Gulch at 07:00 AM
Saturday Trail Run: Alpine Loop (Engineer and Cinnamon Passes) at 07:30 AM
Trail selections...or what's left of them. Hope to swap Black Bear into the Saturday spot.

Pretty common that openings occur for the rides...I seem to recall one of the early morning Saturday runs having only 4-5 of the registered rigs show up
Sleep on Saturday morning can be a requirement...haha

Have to say the event is very lucky to have someone like you dedicated to making this happen.
Hard work, Total dedication.
Been reading up on Black Bear and Poughkeepsie Gulch...those who have done both and had to pick one or the other, which would you choose? It seems like Black Bear's challenge is more of braking and backing where as Poughkeepsie Gulch is more climbing...is that the case?
