Slick Rock Re-Do May 9th

I had to work last weekend, and was bummed I was gonna miss the trip. I'm sure you guys felt the same who were planning on going but got dumped on by Mother Nature instead. So here's the retribution trip!

JohnboyTRD and I were talking about going up the 8th (fri), running the trail the 9th, then driving home. Neither of us can camp Saturday night. After he threw a feeler, we got some more interest. Post up here if you can go!! We were debating slick rock or niagara rim, sounds like slick rock is the winner. If the group would rather run niagara, I'm game to switch it up. My understanding is that niagara is a bit more challenging than slick rock (but I haven't done either).

CARAVAN (Friday)

JohnboyTRD and I are are meeting at the In n Out in Pleasanton at 2pm on Friday. 6015 Johnson Dr.

CAMP SPOT

I believe you just start down the trail, and look for a group of badass tacomas parked. Will update with better info.

TRAIL RUN (Saturday)

Plan on starting the trail at 9am. CB channel 16. If any of you guys are HAM, post up your frequency.

FOOD

Everyone on their own?

Going:
BudMan (Bret)
JohnboyTRD (John)
Younglexx (Alex)
916TacoTruck (Mike)
MJonAgs32 (MJ) - maybe


Warning- my wife and 1 yr old will be along. It will be his first overnight trip. I apologize if you hear a lot of crying, screaming, and yelling at night. And the baby might cry, too

Disclaimer #2 - I don't plan on setting any speed records on the trail. No skids behind my ifs one... I like to look at lines first

 

We'll figure out caravan details as more people confirm, but I think John and I can leave by around 1 on Friday afternoon

 

Haahaa sub'd

 

its mother days weekend too

 

That's why I can't camp Saturday night. Try as I might, my wife doesn't want to spend her first Mothers Day camping/wheeling . She went into labor the day after Mother's Day last year

 

lol... my wife likes to camp and wheel..

 

She was all set for the weekend, but there is a Mothers Day street fair that she's been planning on the whole last year. Then realized it was the same date. Her love of camping and wheeling saved the trip for me!

 

I might be in

What time u guys leaving Friday?

edit: I just saw 1PM. I'll see what time I can leave work (coming from SF)

 

What time are you guys planning on running the trial? I'll be driving in Saturday morning

 

should i... go?

 

Well, if you go ther'll be trouble, but if you stay it will be double. Don't double trouble us! Come on down

Not sure but prob not super early. What time can you get up there?

 

Nice MJ! Let us know what time it works out for you to leave

 

I can be up there at 830-9 maybe a little earlier

 

you guys suck!! I want to go

 

I would say starting the trail by 10 am, maybe 9. If we're all driving home sat, it seems best to run the trail relatively early...

 

Yeah, probably 9AM would be good. Pretty stoked. Budman, let's caravan.

 

You taking 580 right? Maybe we can meet at this innout, just after 580/680 interchange.

 

I can be there right around 2:00

 

Perfect, I'll update the first post!

And I'm gettin pretty juiced for this one!!
