I just purchased a open trailer to haul my 700, gas cost of using my toy hauler for this trip isn’t in the cards right now so I should be set also, maybe it will be the three of us, less dust.
Hi Guys,
I took my name off the list for the ride. I have a lot of reservations about the year, and to be honest, I doubt I can get my "minimum required " items ready for the trip to be successful for my wife and I. If things change, I will add my name back on.
I'm going to plan some smaller trips in the Black Hills and around Moab for the future. I would still like to get a good route together for the Blacks Hills and open this up so people can come have an adventure.

Well folks….. I am just wondering what the temperature of the group is….. I definitely cooled off with the announcement of our fearless leader that he was putting it into suspension mode…..
but I am still gung ho and staying in the planning and prepping mode…..
hey @Keebler …. How is the eye surgery / healing going???
I am about ready to cancel the EXTRA rooms I had reserved so that we would have a block…. I am sure the place will still have rooms available for late reservations…..
I am in …. May do it by myself if no one else shows up…. Looking forward to it…..
@Montecresto …… you have been silent for too long…. What are your thoughts these days??. ?
do we need some photos from the Moab trip to get you fired up again??

Eye surgery is not until May 24 due to big backlog in surgeries because they stopped surgeries for the past two years due to the overreaction of COVID.
If the October ride is a go I plan on being there, might as well spend my money before it devalues away to nothing!
I have my reservations in Kingman (thanks Stan) I purchased a open trailer for my Pioneer so I don’t have to haul my toy hauler at the gas costs so I am in at this point. I hope Frank get his eyes fixed in time.
Byron, are you open to a copilot? I have a friend that wants to go and ride his CRF230. I told him a UTV would be much better and I would check to see if there are any open seats. I can carry his gear, but Audrey thinks three in a P500 might (she said absoulutley is) a bit to cozy.
Frank, I think I can do that although I can’t see how you can cram more stuff in your buggy, I can get some more in mine with careful packing though. Keep in touch Frank on your surgery

Yep, I’m experiencing similar. My knee replacement surgery that I had hoped would happen in April will not happen till July first, and that’s IF there’s no more cancellations……🙄

I’m going to be solo in my P1K5. I should have space available for another person and some gear.
Thanks, I will let my friend know that between you and ByronM there is a seat available. My friend is easy going and very easy to get along with. Audrey and I will be carrying food for the three of us and he will only have a small tent, sleeping bag, and backpack. I learned a lot last year during the Rimrocker ride and now have a bigger rear rack and much less stuff so I could carry his stuff if needed.
Sorry to hear about you knee. I have known many people that have got knee replacement and it appears that doing the knee exercises and stretches has a lot to do with how well and fast the recovery goes, usually a month or two. Best wishes on the surgery.
That will work. I’m planning to bring a one person tent/cot, sleeping bag, maybe some kind of cushion for the cot, one burner stove for hot water (coffee is a must), a small high quality cooler for ice, spare tire and tools, and of course some fresh clothes. I’m not planning to do a lot of cooking, as there should be things to eat available at gas stops. Of course, I’ll be bringing extra gas and water.
As of this morning, looks like there are still 8 machines planning on the ride.
Actually watched the video and don’t think the trail is as tough as some that I ride on a regular basis here north of Tucson.
Good to hear that you guys are still planning on attending the ride. I have a garage full of goodies for my Pioneer to prep for the ride. Just need to find time to get them installed and tested prior to a big ride.
I even started to get some other components together for our camp. As things get closer, maybe I can reassess participating. Still a no as of right now.
