How long did it take us to do DP and HC with 14 of us, with no accidents??? 9 hrs or so?? Other than a stuck CJ and a YJ??

[Max7]

Sounds good!

thanks for that guys. I'll probably do that next time but for this go around plans are already in place and in motion with about 6 other rigs going as well.

I might be in. When was the last time we did it this way? I like your idea, I've been wanting to run J.B., Holc., and Dish in that order for some time, the rockgardens have a different light. This may be a day to start real early, meet @ 6AM as a suggestion, it's definitly an all dayer...maybe into the night! Ask Mike he and Sharon always run into the night!

As for no lockers and 31's I ran it with 31's a bunch...and 2 weeks ago ran with Gary who doesn't have lockers and had no trouble. Good lines, spotter, pull strap, FUN! The thing is alot of obstacales you will be coming DOWN, gravity will be on your side...and if we have time we can always run UP the waterfall at the end just for fun. Just my $2.00.

wow its hard to belive how many people are diss'ing the idea of running three trails and the fact that we are open/open?!? OffRoadFreak and I are trail buddies and have done all of the trails in BB with no problems! its going to be a fun trip just to get out and enjoy the day.

I don't think anyone is Disrespectin' just disbelievin'. I have no doubt that all of these trails can be done unlocked, because I have done them open too. It is just a longer day than most folks are up to. I'd join you but I will be lucky to squeeze out any trail time this weekend.

Best of luck to everyone and I am looking forward to a trail report. Please take lots of pics!

WOw! I had to double check to see if I was on MJR! That run is easily doable. I've done that and more in one day. If I could go with you I would Freak. Have fun and takes pics. Looking foraward to seeing you gettin air in the rock gardens. The rest of you, WHATEVERRRRRR...

i don't think people are dissin' either. i have also done all these trails open with 31's without a problem. it just seems people are busy or you'd normally get a better turnout from this board.

i fully agree that the run can certainly be done as a long day run with BB's and open diffs (and people could also skip out on later runs if they choose), however the reality of trail running is that you may get held up with some kind of "stuck" rig, or get held up behind another group at some point during the day, which can eat away time that you would normally continue onward.

In addition to this, this is a sunday run, and most of us may want to get off the mountain mid-afternoon, as we need to make the trek back home for work on Monday, or don't want to break something on sunday and not be able to get to work Monday

i'm sure you'll get a better turnout next time, it was just luck of the draw. have fun without us!

[jeff411sk8]

thnx for clearing things up. I hope you can see or feel on how i got that vib from most ppl on here. We will see you next time on the trail.

[Mtbikbob]

If your pickin up any negative waves.....It would be because I am jealous.....
I have rode those trails as well and I am still open at this point in time. Enjoy the run! Would love to see pictures if you can post them. Its the next best thing, if you can't be there.
