I will still take you guys on Friday morning that want to go. The reason I've been so quiet I'm over here in Idaho near Cummins Pusher delivering a toy hauler. Left Tennessee Sunday morning at 8 a.m. and I'll be in Boise Idaho at 9 a.m. Tuesday. My butt's tired
Great! It helps to have the grand wizard of rrb!

UPDATE ON TRAIL CONDITIONS

I just got back from pre running the loop I intended to take the early bird group on Friday morning. Both the Dragon's back and Widowmaker have eroded severely. I stupidly brought my wife who hates technical trails and she might start talking to me sometime in May.

Jeeps with 40"+ tires have been hitting these trails hard even met 4 of them coming down Dragon's back as I was going up. I only had to winch twice to get up it but last October our group with @Hondasxs @Windrock1000 @scott @PioneerPete cruised through with out much problem, its a different trail now and would recommend not doing it as a group, however if you guys insist I will still guide you one time on Friday leaving Royal Blue Campgrounds at 10AM sharp, if people dont get jammed up bad we should get back by 4 or 5 pm. Remember at dusk we have an official group ride to top of world.

So let me know who is in or out for hitting this on Friday morning. I highly recommend a winch and FULL skidplates or the side rocker bars WILL be damaged on some now serious rock shelfs to negotiate. So be forewarned, I consider this an extreme black/red trail for approximately 1 hour over 5 miles distance.
@JACKAL You guys still planning to tackle this route Friday? If so, any idea how many are tagging along?

Yes, I will take whoever shows up. My guess is about 6 machines. Meet me at 10 AM by the Ride Royal Blue Pavilion just left of entrance upon pulling in.

Anyone who plans on going please post up, thanks!

You're now over by IdahoPioneer. We're taking a longer route in but damn I don't know how you do it. Some of you guys that drive professionally and put 1000's in a week would be a lot. I guess you get use to it but for me 500 is a lot now:-(
Curious how often you can use cruise with the big stuff?
Well have a safe rest of your trip in rest up some. We're headed Saturday and be Tennessee Monday so we'll see you in a week.

I use cruise 70% of the time loaded at 65 to 70 depending on traffic and conditions. As of today truck is 1 month old tomorrow an will hit 19 k miles when I get home tonight. Ran 1200 miles each day last 2 days empty getting back to get a ASAP load to GA.

@CumminsPusher I use cruise all the time on the interstate with my 5er. I have to jump out of it if I get in hills or something but the flat interstates I just set cruise and let it go.
