View Full Version : Albuquerque Run
Brian1 08-02-2004, 11:07 PM 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!
Im down for whatever Brian. I would like to go soon because i plan on regearing and getting 35's.
-=DaemoN=- 08-03-2004, 02:57 PM Sunday sounds good to me. The closer trails are more desirable for me since I hate driving long distances. ;)
Brian1 08-04-2004, 06:37 PM 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.
Sounds good to me. Think Robbie will go Brian?
AspenX 08-04-2004, 08:10 PM Man I wish I could go. I haven't got to wheel in a while. Yall have a blast for me. :thumbsup:
-=DaemoN=- 08-04-2004, 08:21 PM Next sunday it is! I will be heading to Tucson that following weekend and this weekend I need to take off the rocksliders. I'm having rubbing issues on the passenger side fenders and sliders, crap!
Daemon let me know if you need some help, Im always willing to help out. Now we need to set a time.
Brian1 08-04-2004, 10:25 PM 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.

Well I think afternoom would be the best time cuse it will cool off on the trails and on the way home insted of getting hotter.
MARTY196 08-05-2004, 06:11 PM maybe a mid morning ot something
Brian1 08-05-2004, 10:12 PM Meet at 10 and have lunch on the trail or meet at 12:30-1. It doesnt matter to me, which ever time gets the most responses will be it.
MARTY196 08-05-2004, 10:21 PM those times would work for me

HaHa Marty, Did you walk and look at that thing last time? Its got like a three foot vertical ledge! I may be able to ramp it or something. Those pictures dont tell the whole story.
