Some of us locals in Utah will not be able to get the week off to go to GOX.

But we are aware that people like to hit Moab before or after GOX. Perhaps we could get a list of people and set something up. This mini-gathering is by no means supposed to compete with GOX attendance but an opportunity to host/meet up with other XOC members.

Please let us know if you would like to join us for some trails. We are thinking of having 2 sets of trail runs: for the expert (headed up by TK1) and for the intermediate (headed up by fastdrmr).

If there is already something in the works and posted elsewhere, please let me know.

Thanks
Robert
UXOC President

Editted to add: yes, I noticed the previous post about this but there was no final resolve to the plans)

TK1 an expert? I'll do my best!

I would be interested. How many extra days would be needed and how far is Moab from Ouray?
John

I'm interested in doing the "post GOX" runs. I'd like to know more about the dates and trails you plan on running.

I'd like to be back in Phoenix by Sunday night, so doing runs on Friday and Saturday would be ideal. Are the trails we would be running outside the National Parks? I'll have my dog, and according to www.moab.com - FAQ , pets are allowed around Moab, but just not in the NPs.

On top of all of this, I have my Ouray KOA booked until Sunday the 8th, so If I'm leaving on Thursday night for Moab, I'll need to know soon to cancel some of those days.

Andy

Not far, maybe 4hrs.

Some of us SCCX members were originally planning on visiting Moab again before & after GOX3 but decided to just go on the traditional “B” side to Moab after GOX3 and defer the rest of the planned itinerary to GONEMoab2 next year.

For the “B” side on 9/7-8 the trails under consideration so far include Hell’s revenge, Poison Spider, Golden Spike, Gold bar Rim, and a local warm-up run in the afternoon on 9/6 to Fins or maybe Steel Bender for those arriving in Moab on Friday 9/6.

Would be nice to see more folks so everybody is welcome to join us

BTW what areas/trails are people interested in visiting on the “B” side or post GOX gathering?

I may consider it depending on mods needed for those trails. I don't have a winch or skids. I'd most likely be up for it.

I just want a pic of my x coming down Lion's back in a controlled manner.

I might be interested in a Saturday run. I'm leaving Ouray and going to Arches NP Friday morning and could meet with folks Saturday morning to do a run.

Anything official set up yet? Trying to plan my time from Friday-Monday following GOX

fasdrmr and I will be in Ouray on Friday and Moab on Saturday and maybe Sunday.

I'm up for some 4 rated trails, but I don't know who all else would be.

Please post if you want to meet in Moab on Sat morning and the difficulty of trails your comfortable running and a trail preference.

Hopefully we'll have a better idea of what we want to do and how many people are going to do what.

TK1,

I may be interested in leaving early (after Friday night) for Moab for a good day of slickrock.

4 is fine, lets leave the + out of it.

Todd

I will probably join you guys then. We're leaving early afternoon Friday for Arches and then stay in Moab Friday night. Meet you guys Saturday and then if we didn't see all we wanted in Arches we'll go back Sunday and then head home.
We're taking a route that will take us through Monument Valley.
Oh the beauty we're going to see on this 10 adventure!!!

Depending on whats going on Fri, I may make the trip with ya'll. Would you be going by Lions back?
John

Lions back is very close to town, so that should not be a problem. I'll watch you go up and down, I'm a chicken when it comes to heights!

Woo hoo, Im in!

If we have enough trucks we can split it up. Have a one group do a less aggresive trail and one group do something a little more difficult.

I"m in it for the scenery, so which ever trails have the best views/ cool things to see- that's the one I want.

I'm up for running the days following for sure Brian... but how about something new..yeah?

But for those that need a reminder or tour...
My pix for GONE Moab have finally hit the shelves...

Have a look here : http://xterra.apwired.com/gonemoab/

enjoy 'em, there.. alfonse

apwired,

What trails in Moab are new for you. Any suggestions?

Well I couldn't really think of anything for example... I do have the moab trail book so I could have something to choose from but when I try to do that, I realize that it would be easier to to say what trail I have done already instead.... FAR too many beautiful trails to do up there!
SO far I've hit #s 19,20,21,31 & 32
Thats Gold Bar, Poison Spider, G Spike, Hells revenge and Fin&Things.....

What is out there is fun, challenging, and scenic... probably all of them right?


thanks guys
-alfonse

That's a great set Al ! It's going to take me the rest of the day to look through them.

Where have you been???
I thought you had dissapeared off the board after GONE.

BTW: Great pics!

Did someone say Moab?!! Count me in.

Todd: Looks like I may need your help on doing the centerlink mod before we head down...

I'm game for any trail we hit.

-Brian

I'm in for Moab. I'll be tagging along with XROCK from Ouray on Friday and then we'll meet up with you guys on Saturday for the trails.

Is there a meeting place established for Saturday morning for the trails, or Friday night for dinner?
