Steve:

At this point I don't know who is bringing what, but I doubt many of the bikes will be plated. I know my 200 and my daughters bike will not be, and at the rate I move the 400 likely will not be either (nevermind cost) by then.

We are looking to get a group of cabins at one of the campgrounds. I have about all the cooking gear one could ever need for up to about 30 folks, so we can cook there in the area between the parking and the cabins. Last year we checked into cabins but they were all booked, so we used the 7x14 trailer I had as a base camp and stayed at the KOA in a pull through space. It was a pain to have to pack up every morning but we managed. The cabins will allow us to lock everything up and not worry about stuff.

The cost of the cabins is $40 per night and each cabin will hold 4 people. Obviously, if someone brings an RV they can get a space in the campground near the cabins. Showers are a short walk, as are toilets, but for the price it is hard to beat.

Last year we only rode three days so we only scratched the surface. There are some folks from Colorado coming this year that go to Moab all the time and we will likely follow their lead as far as choosing trails. At least two folks with us are relative newbies (my daughter and another girl on the site) so we will either have to help them over the rough stuff or split up and some of us do some easy trails with them. If there are enough plated bikes the DS group can head out and take advantage of some of the flattop to connect trails.

We are targeting to get together and wrap up the plans by mid next month including reservations.

PM or email me your email and I will add you (an anyone else interested) to the eblast list I have created.

This trip could prove epic. We even have a group of folks from the Toronto area considering driving down, and one fellow from Long Island that is going to stop, if it works out, on his way west to take a new job in SLC.
