Ok fellas, J-dog started this idea now lets see how many Modded Raptor members can make it. Below you will find the "rough" game plan for the trip up North to the Cinders outside of Flagstaff, AZ. Please let me know if you can make it so I can add your name to the list.
Any of you guys that live in neighbouring states like NV, CO or UT that want to make the trip you are more than welcome.
When: Sunday June 1st
Where: Cinders - Flagstaff, AZ
Staging: For the guys that live in the valley, I suggest we all meet in the Costco parking lot at I-17/Rose Garden just west of the freeway around 8:30 or so and plan on heading north around 9:00 AM.
It is recommended that you run paddles if you plan on riding the big hills like $100 Hill. Yes, you are riding in volcanic cinders and they will wear your paddels out much quicker then riding in the dunes, so beware if you havn't been to the Cinders yet.
Below is link to show what the Cinders looks like. And yes, $100 Hill looks that freakin big and steep.
I am in as long as nothing else comes up. Snow is mostly melted now, its spring and whats left will not last. A few more showers would be nice to keep the dust down.
On the subject of paddles, I run a cheap pair of Geckos, the do well and are cheap to replace, I have made quite a few runs on mine, and only a couple on sand and the have held up well. Good to have for cinder tires but not best for sand or high power machines, and again price is fair. I think my next set will be Geckos plus that have the extra paddles. Just an idea for those thinking of cinder tires.
should be sweet with the recent snow & rain, really keeps the dust down. might be going with another group the weekend before, don't know if i can swing 2 weekends in a row yet
That settles it... I live in Litchfield Park off of Jack Rabbit Trail north of I-10, Dunegoon I am picking you up early AM on Sunday June 1st to lead us around the Cinders.:rockon:
I was going to go ride tomorrow night at the cinders, then I remebered it's my 2nd aniversary....don't think the wife would like that. May have to try for Wednesday before it becomes cold and wet, unlike today and tomorrow which was hot..in Flagstaff terms.
sorry to say i will not be there i had some shit come up i did not think could happen but did and with this heat we are getting i need to put in a e-vap cooler for a friends mother that is going though hard times :thumb:
I guess we will just have to take alot of pictures of all the fun we will have without ya. Pretty cool (no pun intended) that you are helping a friend out with their A/C problem.:thumb:
thanks guys maybe we would could do a once a month meet up north to get out of the heat I would like to meet all you but shit happens i will be back in full force once my bike gets done :thumb: JOHNNY i want video of you going up $100.00 hill :hyper:
It sounds like fun, but no go for this weekend - already got plans. Gonna spend the morning with my great grandmother (she just turned 100) and then go riding some trails near my buddy's cabin in Prescott.
