I've got it in the 'wish list' on the calendar.

Since you're camping are you going to hit it early? best to get up and down to stay free of traffic on that trail!

Arsell... great to see you on the same trail!

[Funrover]

Yup We are gonna head out early to beat the rush!

[toyota_jon]

that's great! I had my dad at the Leadville Rally a few years back. He was dealing with 50ft (Chicago) to 10K ft. above sea level in Leadville. AND learning the lean angles the RR is capable of! I made him drive the 3rd day so he could get a good feel for the trails. He still talks about it!
