    Random questions:
    1) Can I assume that they will have charging stations for our electronics at camp?
    2) Is there a designated support group along the way somewhere during each leg of the ride?
    3) Is it all-you-can-eat? :laugh:

    1- They had charging stations, but I took about 6 of those portable batteries with the USB ports. Worked perfectly...
    2- What? You want your hand held? :p
    3. You will not leave meals hungry.
    4. I'm normally a 1 or 2 beer guy. I had 7 at the end of the first day, mostly to dull the pain from my crash. 7 is not enough to outdrink Tom. :Roflmao

    Am I understanding it correctly that lunch is served somewhere along the way each day? Meaning, you ride roughly half way through your day's ride, stop and chow, then carry on to the end where camp is set up?

    Ok so I asked, and she abruptly replied, “F@ck no” as the waffle fry she was chewing struggled to stay in her mouth. Haha! I love her so much!

    Now, if the Hooligan Nation were to consider representing iMTBtrails in a 24-hour race, I would invest more resources into a future plan. As it is, this shindig kinda manifested suddenly, and I don’t even get to ride during the day like a normal Hooligan. Ima go out on a limb and say I’m out. :)

    Yes lunch stops are roughly half way through each day. We stop and chow and refill our camelbacks. Lots of options on what to eat and how much. Getting rolling after the lunch stop is probably the hardest part of the trip for me.

    Trust your fellow Hooligans...
    I know my first time was nerve racking to know what to expect and what to bring, and how to prepare.
    You have Koko Veterans here to take care of you and we have plenty of time to ease the minds of Koko Cadets!

    Remember today is the day. Registration opens at 9:00am this morning. I imagine that there are plenty of Mountain Bikers around the world tired of the COVID Bullshit and ready to stretch their legs in some sanity!
    So I anticipate this selling out very quickly.

    1. Be preregistered on www.bikereg.com now
    2. Log in early.
    3. Refresh, refresh, refresh your screen to get the window to register.

    I give the Mikie Watson personal imtbtrails Hooligan Nation guarantee you are going to make it and have one of the times of your life on this incredible adventure!


    Party on Garth!

    After the post ride celebration, do you guys stay in the Moab Campground or do you head off on your own? In other words, do you stay the night after the adventure is completed with the group?

    When we get in to Moab, Bikerpelli rents spaces at the Moab RV Park the ride ends right at the RV Park. One of the nicest places in town. Showers, Swimming pool, RV, Ten, and Cabin Sites. We have, the last couple of times rented a Cabin. We get cleaned up and have do one of two things. Either have gone out to dinner usually at McStiffy's or stay for the free awesome Last Supper that Bikerpelli puts on. We stay the night, they also serve breakfast Sunday morning. Then they start the load up of trucks with bikes and gear, busses to load up people and head back to Fruita. We have done it both ways. If we self shuttle then we are on the road home hours ahead of them. It also gives us the opportunity to do some extra credit if we are interested.

    Yep...

    I will say that my only complaint was they didn't make the coffee first in the morning. We had to smell the bacon cooking while the coffee was brewing. Torture.

    I am very interested in the extra credit. At least 1 trail in Moab but I might stay an extra day or two, have always wanted to ride Moab.

    How in the hell do you fit a tent, all attire (riding and after riding), your sleeping bag, pillow, and some simple bike parts into a duffle bag?!

    Hey now, I'm bringing my "teddy bear" and nothing anyone can say will change that! :rolleyes:

    Tom, is EVERYTHING inside your bag there?

    They were good with you having your tent as a separate item?

    Well, that was easy. I'm still more of a highly likely than definitely, but secured my slot anyway. I'm starting a new job where I report to someone who is not me for the first time in 7 years, so there are still some moving pieces to sort out, but I plan to be there barring a major issue.
