View Full Version : Going to Moab 9th-14th

Reminder, I am going to Moab leaving 9th, driving back on the 14th. If Kim and Dean stay in the condo there will be 2 more open spots otherwise there are 4 . $207 per night split per person. (The condo allows 8 people, two car garage to store bikes, 3 bedroom, kitchen etc, community pool and hot tub). You can alway stay in a hotel if you would like, I do not think there will be any problems getting a room (so you should not even have to make reservations and you can usually cancel them anyway), it is mothers day that weekend I think and I don't remember any 4 wheel or other events scheduled. PM me if you want to go and I will send you directions. I suggest having some riding experience as slick rock has a few steep hill, otherwise most of it is fairly easy and there is always someone in the group that is willing to spot for you or ride your bike for you on a difficult part.

There are a few others from the CSC that are going as well and hopefully all we will meet up and have a great time riding. If you have never been there, nows your chance to go with some people who know the area. If you have been, you know it is always a good time.

hey rich, hows the weather that time of the year? the reason why i'm asking is as you all know i'm very VERY sensitive to sun/heat but would like to make it out there at least once in my lifetime!

It gets stupid hot during the full summer. Wear a long sleeve, white button shirt. Works excellent!! Think, camel jockey...

Hotels in Moab are usually booked solid through September for the weekends. Kim called yesterday and there were a few queen rooms left.

If you want to drive 45 minutes, you can stay in Green River for about $50/ night.

Wow, I have never made reservation in the past, one time because we came late and didn't want to drive all over we slept in the car one night but were always able to get a hotel in moab. Good to know, better get reservations Suki. Although we do have a condo if someone can't get a hotel, it just means you have to sleep with a bunch of guys.. hmm, how about room with a bunch of guys... no matter how I say that, it just doesn't sound good.

Hijacking keeps the tread at the top, it's all good.

Yep! Riding!! My riding buddy's son is going and his last day of college is the 10th. That's why we are going on those dates. Plus, Monday's are great in Moab cause most people have gone home already and nobody is around..... We are staying at Moab Valley RV park in one of their cabins.

I am seriously considering this, I'd pull the trailer out and stay in a RV park.
Still have to see if I can swing it though, but I think I can.

Suki
Tue May 1st, 2007, 04:18 PM
come out and play, and bring rosemarie with you!!!!


Ash, come out girl, it'll be fun!

we're almost a definite go, just got to get the time off from work.

Bueller
Tue May 1st, 2007, 06:24 PM
If I go I will have room for a couple of bikes and if someone can put up with a couple of little dogs, I have a Queen bed and two singles open. I am looking at staying at the KOA RV campground. It looks as though it'll be about $300 in fuel round trip and $130 for 3 adults for 3 nights. I can leave Weds. evening and drive out, probably just spend the night at a rest stop or something close to Moab. and check in Thurs. and will have to drive back Sunday afternoon.
The campground has full hookups w/CATV and WiFi
So if anyone is interested in splitting some costs LMK.
And Dean if you want you can shit in the toilet. :lol:

Suki
Tue May 1st, 2007, 11:56 PM
Bueller, hold that thought and let me have alan check out your post. he's working on the bike right now, so i'll have him take a look and get back to you since we've never been camping there and dont know what all the camping entails. :D

There are TONS of places to camp in and around Moab! Keep in mind thought it sure is nice to have a shower after riding. You can also camp at one of the campgrounds in town for around $20 a night. That way you will have a pool and shower. Check out www.moab-utah.com (http://www.moab-utah.com) for info.

One more thing, a little misunderstanding, I am leaving the 13th, I am riding back with someone and they are leaving sun and since they are driving my bikes out there and I am heading in from Las Vegas, that is the way it will work out. No matter what dates you come, if you are in town we should try to hook up for the days we are there. Dean has my cell or you can pm me for it.

Ashley, I think I will be going back out again in the fall so maybe then.

SWEET!! Moab is a kick in the ass!! This will be my 12th year going! We try to go out Spring and Fall. Fall is my favorite time to go because to the weather. Not sure where you guys plan on riding but I'll keep a look out for you. We tend to ride the more technical stuff.

BTW- The Moab Diner is AWESOME! We have breakfast there every morning before we hit the trails.

...Not sure where you guys plan on riding but I'll keep a look out for you. We tend to ride the more technical stuff...Poison Spider Mesa to Golden Spike to Gold Bar Rim is a definite!! We'll probably roll around Hell's Revenge Wednesday evening. We were thinkin' about Pritchet Canyon, too...

BTW - The Lion's Back and the Dump Bump along with the entire Lion's Back campground are closed. Some developer bought it and it looks like they're gone forever.

I will be in Las Vegas driving up on Wed, my friend is driving from the Springs on Wed at 6am. You could catch a ride with him but you have to leave wed. Rentals are expensive. You could ride your street bike, park it in the garage.

Hey Dean, I haven't planned out where we are going to go yet but I was thinking of doing slickrock and Hells revenge on Thurs morning, get it out of the way and not have to worry about as many bicycles that show up fri,sat,sun. The other trails you mention are places I know I want to go again. What were you thinking for a schedule?

I think everyone will be in Moab by Saturday and we leave Sunday morning. So, I'm thinkin' Poison Spider on Saturday.

Hell's Revenge is pretty easy and short. We we're thinkin' about doing that when we get into town Wednesday afternooon. I'll do it again on Thursday, though. I don't really care what we do as long as we're riding...

i doubt there will be any red carpet laid out or my clan of paparazzi there for me and since i'll be sitting on the quad while wearing them that should work out fine!

We will ride Slickrock and Hells revenge from there. Red Nissan quad cab full size pickup with 3 Yamahas on flatbed trailer and a lifted blue f250 superduty quad cab with a Honda crf450x in the bed

Well just finishing packing up for the drive home, what a fun trip. Gettng a little warm out here but still some of the coolest riding I have ever done. We never got everyone together at the same time but we still got plenty of ridng in.
Let me be the first to say Kim did awesome on the rock!
Thanks to everyone who showed up, it made for a great time.

Thanks K&D for letting me borrow the quad, that thing freakin rocks!

I can't even begin to talk about the beautiful scenery up there, and Dean you're right, the pictures do this place no justice.

If you've never been there, definitely have to go! we've decided that we're going to get back up there in the fall, so lets get that trip planned!!!

I took a shitload of pics but forgot my stupid camera cable to DL them to the pc, so i'll get those up tonight or tomorrow.
