Okay guys lets get this thing planned. What days are best for everyone?

Sat? Sunday? Monday?

I prefer Sunday, I could do it any of the weekends except on the 8th (Sunday)

Where do you want to go:
Jemez mountains (water crossings, small to medium rocks, hillclimbs, shelf roads, forrest roads, probably mud, about 1 hour on highway to get to the area, could be all day trip)

Cedro Peak (probably mud, a few obsticales, some really good places to flex your explorer, close to town, takes a few hours to complete)

La Bajada (switchbacks, shelf roads, lava rocks, mostly easy for 33" tires, a short trail, 1/2 hour to 45 min drive on the interstate north)

Rio Puerco (sand & dunes, big rocks if you can find them, close to town, could be an all day trip)
I have never lead a group out there and personally I dont really like the area and I dont know where the obstacles are.

So post up with what you want to do and when!

Sunday sounds good to me. The closer trails are more desirable for me since I hate driving long distances. ;)

So how about Cedro Peak on Sunday (not this coming one but next one after). I know we go there alot but I always have fun. Maybe we could all go eat somewhere either before or after the run since it is pretty short.

What does everyone want, a morning run or afternoon?

Meeting place will be the Chevron at Tramway and Central - southwest corner

I will call robbie before we go, if he can I am sure he will go and want to check out Daemons explorer since it is almost a duplicate of his.
