[Medic-5150]

Hey, looks fun. I'll see if I can make it. I might have to work though

[Pathrat]

I hope the mud pit on Georgia is dry. Please be aware that some people might need a strap up this little section.

[Andrew]

I should make it. I am not stock for sure but no locker. Have been wanting to do Red Cone for a long time now! My thumb is feeling better and in two weeks should be good to go. Anyone planning to stop for dinner somewhere on the way home?

[Smash]

From traildamage, these look too steep for me. I'm out. :(

[Haku]

From traildamage, these look too steep for me. I'm out. :(

You have tow hooks right? I know there is a Sub-Frame under there that can take the abuse too. I will say that there sections of Red Cone that might be a bit rough for the lower clearance rigs like your Subbie. I think you'd be good to go on Webster and Georgia Pass though. I didn't do much of Webster the other day, but others should be able to chime in on how they were to either side, as we had people descend in both directions. I might be up for this, but won't know till later this week I think. I'm not stock, and both rigs have some form of locking, but I promise not to turn it on, and I'll likely stay in 2 wheel drive the whole time unless we do Redcone. There are some obstacles on there that beg for both Lockers and ride height:thunb:.

JH

[Smash]

Yep I have tow hooks but I know of people who have ripped them off before, so I don't think they're very strong. Clearance I look good, steepness not so much.

I just have to be patient, I'll have a more capable vehicle soon. Till then I don't want to tear mine apart!

[Aaron]

Webster was pretty easy. There were some spots that I wouldn't want to do in a vehicle wider than mine but there weren't any real places where clearance is a big issue. There was a pretty sizable drop into some mud but I did that for fun. I think you could get around it.

[Smash]

Yeah, again I'm not concerned about clearance. Not worried about clearance. Repeated. Lol. It's the steepness that will kill me.

[Aaron]

But if clearance is your issue, you should be fine...
:D

There is steepness but it is mostly on Red Cone, not Webster. Most of it is on the downhill side but there is some going up.

This is us going up...

[Smash]

Yeah I know there's no way I can handle red cone! I'd probably need a few clutches to do it. No worries, you guys have a good time and take lots of pics! I'll be in next year for sure.

[Pathrat]

Georgia has that mud pit/incline that will need some clearance from whatever vehicles are running it.

[Pathrat]

Does anyone know how to get from Webster/Red Cone to Georgia Pass?

Who all is doing the 'optional' GA Pass?

[Andrew]

I wouldn't mind doing GA Pass it goes back to I-70 right? And I gotta go north anyway.

[Roostercruiser]

ill join you Pathrat

[WINKY]

ill do it all :)

[Funrover]

Does anyone know how to get from Webster/Red Cone to Georgia Pass?

You can go down Webster to Montazuma. Take the few mile drive to Tiger Road by Breck and drive up from the Breck side OR We make a loop go back to 285 make a right go to Jefferson and up that way!

[4Runninfun]

smash you could to webster no problem nothing is that steep. but no way on redcone. there are some sections where you'd be ripping off plastic.

[ShutUpHippie]

Is the majority of this run at or above timberline?

[Aaron]

Probably 1/2 - 2/3 of Red Cone. 1/4 of Webster pass. but webster has mud :)

[Pathrat]

ill join you Pathrat

Thanks Roland! I was hoping to have someone with a heavy rig and winch or at least a heavy rig and a strap

[Medic-5150]

I'm pretty sure I'll be going. I may have my winch installed by the, it depends on when Brody's available.

[Pathrat]

smash you could to webster no problem nothing is that steep. but no way on redcone. there are some sections where you'd be ripping off plastic.

Seems that lower gearing would be really helpful on the Red Cone hill, so you don't have to rely solely on mashing your brakes.

[Medic-5150]

Seems that lower gearing would be really helpful on the Red Cone hill, so you don't have to rely solely on mashing your brakes.

I did just fine in 4 low and low gear, had to tap the brakes a couple times, but had no problems. It's not as scary as it looks.

an engine brake works wonders!!!!:D:rolleyes:

[Pathrat]

I did just fine in 4 low and low gear, had to tap the brakes a couple times, but had no problems. It's not as scary as it looks.

Actually, I thought it was scarier that it looked, that it didn't look too bad from a distance. Of course, I drove it four years ago and not in my own rig and that makes a difference with my perspective.

Yea. Heights don't scare me. I thought it was kinda cool, once I started down

[Smash]

Ok, change of heart, we want to go. Can we ride with somebody? If someone can give us a ride, where should we meet you where I can drop my car for the day?

[Smash]

You really should come, I want to see your K5 and talk to you about it. :thunb:

You're welcome in my truck. Where do you live?

[Smash]

You're welcome in my truck. Where do you live?


Woohoo!

35th and kipling. We can meet you somewhere too.

[Medic-5150]

I live in off 12th near the promenade. I'm new to the area so I'm not familiar with any convenient meeting places. I guess you pick a spot and I'll meet ya there.

[Andrew]

Yeah you're (or anyone is) welcome to ride along with me as well.

I have room for 2 others.

[Medic-5150]

Anyone know where we're meeting? Last time we met at the Safeway in Connifer, it was convenient

[Smash]

In all honesty, Karla and I will probably float around in a bunch of different vehicles. If that's ok with everybody!

[Smash]

Yes, additional details on start and end locations would be really helpful in coordinating a pickup location with Medic. Thanks guys!

[Chris]

Click the link to the run in the yellow section on top of the page, all the details are there. :thunb:

[Medic-5150]

all it says is Webster at 285. Is that the trail head for Red Cone and Webster Pass?

[Smash]

Will we be ending around the same spot? Thread doesn't say.

[Chris]

Meeting Place: Hall Valley Road/HWY 285
Meeting Time: 10:00

[Smash]

Got it thanks! Ending up in about the same place? That'd be a nice motorcycle ride out to the meetup spot if we'll be ending in the same area.

i got one seat that is open. the back seat is gonna have the tools jack and cooler

now that i bought a topper i can get to building my storage box!!!!!!

[Funrover]

Will we be ending around the same spot? Thread doesn't say.

Yes the end is the same spot, we are making a loop.. and if we have time and others want to continue we will take Georgia Pass from Jefferson over to Breck

[Smash]

We are in for an all day affair, so probably not good if we leave the bike at the start position.

Medic - you're basically gonna come right by my place, I know where we can meet up. I'll send you a pm.

[Haku]

all it says is Webster at 285. Is that the trail head for Red Cone and Webster Pass?

Thats where the road turns off of 285. Its where everyone congregated right before it turned to dirt last time.

JH

[Andrew]

Never been there. If I hit Kenosha I'm too far!

Never noticed Hall Valley Road when driving up that way before but never looking for it either.

[Medic-5150]

There's a big brown sign that says Red Cone, not too hard to see if you're looking for it

[Haku]

Never been there. If I hit Kenosha I'm too far!

Never noticed Hall Valley Road when driving up that way before but never looking for it either.

If you hit the Roberts Tunnel outlet you have gone too far. The road is about a half mile before the Tunnel lets its water out into the South Platte (Roberts Tunnel is the water tunnel that diverts water over the divide from Lake Dillon.

JH

[Aaron]

all it says is Webster at 285. Is that the trail head for Red Cone and Webster Pass?

It is. Well the trailhead is up the road about 5 miles but you guys are meeting at the corner of CR60 and 285. Its the first road to the right after Grant.

[Funrover]

Would meeting at the Conifer Safeway be better? I have never been there and have no clue where it is at

[Medic-5150]

Would meeting at the Conifer Safeway be better? I have never been there and have no clue where it is at

If you want, I can meet you at the Safeway. The turn off isn't hard to get too though. There's a big sign, just continue on 285 past conifer. There'll probably be a few rigs parked right near the road.

[Funrover]

I am wondering if it would be easier for everyone... for me it's all the same. What do you think? At least we know there is parking!

[Medic-5150]

Safeway worked great on the last run. It's definitely a bigger target for people to find/see. I'm fine either way. Who's leading this one?

[Funrover]

I believe I am!

[Funrover]

I am going to change the meeting spot. Keep it easy

[Medic-5150]

Well then it's up to you :-P

[Funrover]

Well then it's up to you :-P

It has been changed!

[Medic-5150]

Safeway at 10 it or did you still want to plan on being at Red Cone at 10?

[Funrover]

Safeway at 10. I sent a PM to all of those that are a YES

[Andrew]

Where is the safeway in Conifer? lol

[Medic-5150]

27152 MAIN STREET
CONIFER, CO 80433

It's just off of 285 I believe.

[Andrew]

Hmm...never stopped there before.

Well hey what CB channel will everyone be on and if I don't see the safeway I'll find ya on hall valley road.

I will talk with the wife.. It depends on how much homework she has!

[Andrew]

lol man I skipped it

[Medic-5150]

If Smash is up for camping, I'd be happy to stay after the run. I do have work Sunday morning at 1130 so it'd be an early departure for my rig and anyone riding in it.

[Andrew]

I see why I missed it - CB channel isn't in the first post and that's where I looked.

[Medic-5150]

lol well thanks to deezle, we got it covered

[Medic-5150]

I just got my CB installed today, took me about 4 hours....by the time I tore my dash apart, and ran the wire and redid some stuff....the wiring turned out great....The unit ultimately didn't fit quite as I had hoped though :(

[Andrew]

Dremel will fix that :D

[Medic-5150]

I tried the BFH, that didn't work well on the innards of my dash, luckily the panels cover it :-D. I definitely ran out of patience after a few hours of tinkering....

[WINKY]

lol well thanks to deezle, we got it covered


the big letters was me being funny, dont take it personally :D


when you get to know me im a funny guy

[Medic-5150]

Nah, I got it. I woulda done the same thing. I'm still getting used to forums and what you can do with the text lol

[WINKY]

well im the guy to ask trail related forum questions and ill be happy to answer either seriously or sarcastically... :D

[Medic-5150]

I'll keep that in mind, and always seek a second opinion

[SubaCool]

Well, I'm out. There's this thing called Autocross and I'm quite involved with it :cool: I'm a Chief of waivers and that means I have to show up for all the events (i get to race for free :D). I'm also doing pretty well in my class so I really need to score some points. Sooo, the 29th is not good for me since it's the same day we have an event in Commerce City.
Darn it!
I'm very confident we could do Webster and Georgia, but we'd have to whimp out of Red Cone. Maybe next time...

[Smash]

Hey guys, medic is out for this. So Karla and I need a ride again. We had planned to meet up with Medic in the Holiday Inn parking lot at I-70 and Kipling at 9am. Can anyone else come pick us up?

[WINKY]

i can if one of ya'll wants to sit in the back seat

in fact if ya'll want to come to my place you can park your car and not worry bout it. let me know

[Funrover]

[WINKY]

who are you saying yes to?

[Smash]

Trying not to do the safeway unless we go with the guys that do the extra passes at the end of the day. would be a huge pain for someone to have to bring us back to safeway!

[Smash]

who are you saying yes to?


oh good lord lol that happened fast. if you can pick us up that'd be great!

[Andrew]

I'm trying to see if one of our friends is coming or not. I can fit 5 in my rig but it's just more comfy with 4.

[Smash]

Andrew, no worries, Randy is close to me and he'll give us a ride. We'll just meet up at his place as he's planning on doing all the trails.

[Haku]

I have room for one in my rig if you are ok with splitting up a bit. I live reasonably close to Randy too (Alameda between Wads and Sheridan), so picking you up shouldn't be hard either. I'm sure once we do the final meet up that there will be plenty of room for you guys in whichever rigs have room, so its mostly getting you to the meeting place.

JH

[Smash]

Haku - yep we are good to go.

I imagine we'll be swapping and riding around in everybody's rigs who has room to get a feel for things.

Psyched to meet some folks!

Getting excited for this! Need to charge up my video camera's batteries. Want to do a cool video for the trip. And need to put my front skid back on.

[collkid]

This might be a dumb question.

I have to work at 5... what are the chances we'll be off the trail/s around 3?

[Pathrat]

This might be a dumb question.

I have to work at 5... what are the chances we'll be off the trail/s around 3?

With a bunch of rigs? I wouldn't bet on it but it isn't impossible. Anytime you need to be off the trail, something seems to impede your progress.

[Roostercruiser]

This might be a dumb question.

redcone it self isnt very long. if you just run that you should be fine . but also factir in all the trucks it gives you about 4 hrs. i thnk you will be ok. but pathrat is probly right.

better to not risk it and ensure you keep your job:thunb:

I was thinking we would try it Sunday, but it looks like we'll be going hiking somewhere closer. So nevermind ;)

Smash, I really don't know what the heck you're talking about... :erm:

[Brody]

If I can make a suggestion here:

I just took a look at the number of rigs going on this trip (29) and in the interest of keeping things a little organized and to allow faster moving groups to pass, it might be a good idea to break the group down into 2 or maybe 3 subgroups.

There aren't all that many spots on the trail to pull over, especially for that number of rigs and by breaking the group down and allowing some space between the sub groups, would allow for faster parties to pass and keep traffic jams down to a minimum.

I just read a post of Colo4x4 where a big group was holding up about 3 smaller groups and was being very rude about letting the smaller, faster moving groups by. It didn't please anyone in the smaller groups.

I have mentioned this before for doing harder trails as everyone bunches up at the obstacles. Whereas Red Cone or any of the other proposed trails on this run don't have really 'hard' obstacles, there is still a tendency to bunch up and stop. Doing this on this run, especially with both the starting time and the number of rigs going would not be a bad idea. Simply stagger the people with CBs so that you can stay in touch, agree on a place to stop for lunch (there are a couple of good scenic spots after the switchbacks that will accamodate many rigs) and keep a watch in your rear view mirrors. Make sure that the person in the rear of each group has a CB and can communicate with the person in the front, letting them know that there is a smaller faster group that is trying to get by.

Just some suggestions. Everybody have fun tomorrow!

[Smash]

Sounds like a really good plan!

[Chris]

I just took a look at the number of rigs going on this trip (29)

Pete, it's 12 rigs and 17 riders so size shouldn't be an issue of too much concern though it is a large group which we need to always keep in mind when we're aware of other wheelers. Two groups would make sense.

[Haku]

Just to clear things up a bit, is the plan for everyone to run Red Cone, or are some people only doing Webster Pass? That right there would slim the group down a bit if it was the case. Looking through the list, it doesn't look like there is anyone going who couldn't make it up Red Cone, but I'm not totally sure.

Also, everyone should make sure and update their RSVP status. I've noticed a few who are definitely going who are still a maybe and such. Its just nice to have an accurate representation of who is going, so we can know who to expect. For me, as long as its within reason, I would wait for one a "yes" person to show up for a little while, and probably wouldn't for a "maybe". Anyways, it should be a lot of fun, and looks like there are a bunch of people I haven't met before, or some that I only met very briefly on the Anniversary Run.

JH

[Smash]

Medic - update your status if you aren't coming. I hope you end up being able to make it though.

[Andrew]

I updated mine. Still getting used to the forum.

For me, as long as its within reason, I would wait for one a "yes" person to show up for a little while, and probably wouldn't for a "maybe". Anyways, it should be a lot of fun, and looks like there are a bunch of people I haven't met before, or some that I only met very briefly on the Anniversary Run.

Yeah, for sure Roland. Should be fun to see one of the smaller more urban jeeps give wheeling a try.

Hey is there a gas station at that Safeway?

Quick google search says yes it does. Confirmed on safeway website. :thunb:

[Haku]

Yep, sure does. Its even Safeway brand, so if you have their card you get a couple cents off per gallon. There are also a plethora of gas stations all the way up 285.

I'll suggest everyone get gas before meeting. It's kind of annoying to get ready to go and have someone say "Wait a couple minutes while I get gas" ;)

[Smash]

I always have plenty of gas, if your car runs on methane.















Dangit, I probably screwed my chance to ride in a bunch of vehicles now.

Agreed. Perhaps stopping in on your way by right before congregating? For me, I know I only used a 1/4 tank of gas or less on the Red Cone/Webster/Radical Hill trip a couple weeks ago, so I can generally get by on filling up the night before the trip.

Holly crap dude......I shouldn't be surprised, but always am about those big rigs. Guess it probably lasts you a long time though. I get about 300 miles a tank, so hopefully you get a lot more then that.

[Andrew]

Yeah I have a safeway card so that's why I wondered and if they didn't I would stop somewhere on the way.

[Andrew]

Did anyone get my hat from Chris? I had PM'd him but not heard back.

Ooops he's on the yes list, seems I recall him mentioning he wouldn't make it.

If ya see this Chris, please bring the hat :)

[AboveNBeyond]

There's 2 geocaches near Red Cone. One on the summit and one going down.

I plan on doing these while I'm there, if anyone else is interested. Shouldn't take too long.

That's cool, it would be sweet to find.

[Chris]

If ya see this Chris, please bring the hat :)

I'll be there with yours Andrew and would be happy to have anyone deliver someone's if they aren't going to make it. I also have a few unclaimed if anyone's interested. ;)

Oh yeah, I'll have lots of stickers too.

I want small stickers, and maybe a hat?

On the hat, are they flex fit by chance? :o

Anyone have a pic of them?

[Chris]

There's a pic in the original (now closed) thread. They are very nice, nicer than I expected to be honest. I'll bring what are still available and a bunch of stickers too.

[Funrover]

And our 2 hats! :D

[Andrew]

What do you need a transmission for anyway? I hear they are overrated. :p

[Chris]

And our 2 hats! :D

Of course! 1 black, 1 hunter ;)

JH

no i get around 250-300 miles

[Chris]

Yeah, they ARE overrated. I should make Chris just pull me around on the strap!

Be there Jeff and I'll pull you around on a strap. :D

[scout man]

hey chris, I know its really last minute, but I am going to ride along tomorrow with josh if you dont mind bringing my hat along. Thanks!

[Funrover]

Be there Jeff and I'll pull you around on a strap. :D

I am totally gonna watch this

[Chris]

Jeff will be pretty sore but who am I to argue. :lol:

I'll have your hat Steve!

[Speedwagon]

I'm going to try and make this, since I don't have to work tomorrow night. But I do have to check my cam timing on the truck before I roll out. Something feels off since I put the new head on it. Seems to be lacking a lot of low end power, so I suspect I may be off a tooth.

[Funrover]

I AM OUT!!

Blew a hose on the way home from work tonight. Have fun everyone.. We might try to catch you if we can.. no promises

[Chris]

We'll see you there Aaron, you still have 3 hours to get a hose on. ;)

[WINKY]

(shouldnt take more than 20 minutes to change a hose and refill) IMO.... lol:lol:
