2010 Rmr

[1sicbronconut]

I've set the dates for the RMR unevent. I will be at the KOA in Ouray Colorado on July 30th and 31th to run some great San Juan Mountain trails, might run a short one on Sunday the 1st also. Feel free to PM me if you need any more info on what I'll be doing up in Ouray. Here's a link for the KOA up there they have everything you could want out of a campground. http://koa.com/where/co/06158/

Steve, what happened to Holy Cross? Either way we're planning to be there, barring any cross country moves...

 

[1sicbronconut]

After talking to different folks I decided that Holy Cross was a little tough for some of the folks that would want to come and do RMR. I've got the armor and am willing to put my Bronco at risk of damage running it on 33" tires but for most folks 33" tires won't cut it on Holy Cross.

Here is an Ouray local trail guide I found.

The map is good but the trail rating is a joke;D the only trail that's a challenge in the San Juans would be Poughkeepsie gulch and I almost made it up the big obstacle in my Explorer on 31's;D Here's a good up to date guide. http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php I like to run Black Bear and Imogene on one day and run part of Engineer and play around Animas Forks the second day. The main thing you need to be concerned about is being able to run at the high altitude and have a good safe rig with good brakes.

I coasted all the way into Ouray off of Imogene Pass a couple of years ago after my fuel pump died. I second high altidude capability and of coarse good brakes...;D

Wouldn't good brakes limit the coasting range?

 

[needabronco]

well I did alot of riding the brakes also and was towed up all of the uphill sections that I couldn't coast up, but they were smoking hot several times.

looking forward to it Steve!

BTT is anybody interested? I haven't heard very much from anybody on showing up. I have some other big trips planned this year so if nobody is interested I'll pull the plug on RMR for this year. Thanks Steve

 

[needabronco]

Well, I'll be there... I'd like to stay an extra day and run a couple of other trails also, either before or after the 'un-event'

I am trying to plan a trip for the end of July, first of August. I haven't been able to make it back to CO since moving away from Empire in 2003. I have some friends, sorry to say they have heeps, that will be in Silverton the weekend before 22nd - 24th.

I am hoping to try to manage a few days in MOAB while up that way.

Would be great to meet some of you. Let me know if RMR remains on the calendar. Don't think I'm going to get the EFI installed by then though. Might be tough to get my carb to go from sea level to 13,000 feet!!

What is happening on this non-event? I am finalizing my summer trip plans and wandered who is planning on going to Ouray. Look forward to seeing you all.

Anybody going?

Brad, I currently have an Alaska trip set up for the end of July. Things change but right now I am all set on that. Ron did mention possibly coming up but we have not touched base on that in a while.

 

[mustangtoby]

I'll be around somwhere (I live close), but don't know if I can make it. My son is gonna be home on leave around then, date isn't set yet. I'll keep following this thread, let you know if I'll be around. Hope so, would like to meet some of you!

 

[BradH]

Just checking in again to see if it is going to happen.

I don't know if I'll make the whole weekend or not I might just come up for Saturday, some of trips have come up that are eating up my vacation. Off to South Dakota for a week and a half to visit my 87 year old father in law and do some fishing.
