Since there are (6) people that are confirmed to camp, I've decided to keep the 3rd Campsite.
Folks can spread-out if they want, and we'll still have some room in case any of the "Undecided" folks can make it at the last minute.

Here's the current latest list.
If anyone is still in the "Maybe" group, please attend if you can, even if it's "last-minute"
I mainly wanted a head-count to decide whether I was keeping the 3rd Campsite that I reserved, and to gauge how much bottled-water to bring for everyone......

SkunkWorks - Camping
Paul466 - Camping
Cycledude - Hotel
Jeff from California - Hotel (friend of Cycledude)
Silver Badger - Hotel
-=clinton=- - Camping

Dirtyspokes - Camping

jbuhl - Camping

I think I have enough bottled-water..................Is 200 bottles enough?

If anyone is riding in from the east send me a message. I’m leaving Kansas City on Wednesday morning and planning on camping in good land Kansas Wednesday night. But I can go the southern route if somebody wants to meet up and ride together. Safety in numbers and all that.

It looks like we will most likely have afternoon/evening rain storms moving through the area on Friday and Saturday.
This should not affect the planned Rides, but if you have a camping-tarp make sure you bring it, or have a really good rain-fly on your Tent.
This may affect our ability to have a Campfire, but we'll roll with it as it comes.
I will be bringing a couple extra tarps just in case, but if anyone specifically needs one please let me know!
It's not entirely out of the realm of possibility to have Hail...............I was riding back to Denver from Steamboat Springs yesterday afternoon, and I was stuck on I-70 near Georgetown and was getting hailed-on by pea-sized Hail as a storm moved through the area.
If we happen to be out on a Ride and there's a Storm moving through, we can delay or adjust accordingly..

If anyone has any other questions, or if I forgot to mention anything, please post up here or message me!

Everyone please have a Safe and Enjoyable trip getting there, and I'll see you all at the Campground!

Do you happen to know if there is cell coverage at the campground? Asking for someone who might, theoretically, need to call in sick.

Anybody heading down late Thursday afternoon from the big D? I am proly going to leave late then go up i70 or 285. Always like the section between LeadVille and BV.

Honestly do not know the answer to this.
I am guessing "NO", but I can't remember if I had cell signal when Paul and I were there doing a little Recon ?
Definitely signal in Town though, and it's not very far (11 miles).

Traffic is gonna suck near Floyd-Hill................Seems to be backed up there no matter what time of the day you try to get through there.
I would suggest 285 for sure!

Does this mean you are definitely attending? (you were in the "Undecided" list)
I'll move you up to the Confirmed List.

Yes as of today I plan to attend. If I have to bail for some reason I can still chip in on the campsite spend.

Have a good time guy's jealous as I've come out of semi retirement back into work, why I don't know cos I seem to be missing all the trips and fun here in the UK. Loads of photo's please.

Put on a little over 600 smiles today, made it to Lincoln Nebraska, believe it or not I got a motel for $52 and it supposedly has free breakfast, only 600 miles to go.
Jeff made it from Modesto California to Ely Nevada, got a room for $101 with a free beer and free breakfast.
He still has over 600 miles to go, this year the roads are loaded with detours.
