I was wondering how the schedule for the ride-in works ?? is there an itinerary posted some where. trying to make plans to come this year but don't know what happens on friday/sat and was wondering if I can ride both days. or is it a one day thing..

hope you and the family are doing well..

There usually is back country rides on Friday also, but it is a little harder to line up guides for Friday.

Can't wait, it will be a good time (again) for sure!

There are backcountry rides both Fri and Sat.

If we do not have enough guides (has never happened yet), then a lottery system will be used.

Also if you go out on Friday and show up to ride again Sat. Those that did not ride yet, will be given first dibs.

Like I say, we have yet to turn anyone away for a backcountry ride. But just want to let you know how it works.

Wayne - Wanna plan to go up Saturday and do the ride and banquet? I'm all for it and don't think there is much buy-in from the others.

Keith- I will let they other guys know. We all (4) in my group will be in for the ride, Not sure about the Banquet, I sent them an email with the info page John posted.

You should be OK with a 121. Might not be able to break trail, but as long as you can ride in others tracks in the steep and deep, you will be OK.


Just a head's up to all that anyone partaking in any part of the event, rides, banquet, etc, will need to be registered.

How do we go about this registering. I missed it? Do you have a more intense ride or is this a logging road cruise? Is it different by the group I guess is my question.

You can go here to register.

We do try and match up riders with the type of ride they are looking for. Anything from extreme backcountry to scenic tours through the backcountry.

john,

if you want to participate in the backcountry ride on friday, do you meet at the ramada at 930/10 am friday morning just like on saturday?

also, if you are looking for extra help working with the guides keeping groups together, I would be more than happy to help... Darrell

Question for ya?
About 5 of us are coming for the ride in, including wife and step daughter(22yr old). Wife has a ton riding exp(but not backcountry) and daughter is kind of a newbie. Its it worth it for them to go on any backcountry rides? I dont wanna hold anybody up and dont feel like getting 3 people unstuck over and over again. We were just gonna send them trail riding while we aere on the BC ride.? Does a group go out for the less expiereinced???

I'd say that they could show up at the meeting spot and if there are others that are somewhat new to the backcountry riding experience then we can group them all up.

Otherwise they might not have as much fun- stressing about holding things up.
