Trail Signups & Descriptions...

[ravencr]

Hello everyone,

We got our approvals/limits from BLM, and now it's time for everyone to sign up for which trail they want to run each day. Here's a good place to read about the trails we'll be running:

Note: If you're signed up for the Poker Run, please make a note of that in the email. It takes the place of the trail run that day for your UTV.

So, to sign up for your desired trails, just copy and past the trail you want to run each day into an email to jamie@utvrally.com. Make sure to include only the driver's name...we don't need to know all the passengers for this. Trail sign ups and cutoffs are based on #'s of vehicles, not people, per day.

So, if you've already registered, make sure you do this ASAP. For new registrations, it will be added to the registration process soon. But, if you register between now and when I get it added to the registration, make sure you complete the process above.

Once a trail fills up, you'll be asked to sign up for a different trail that day, so act fast so you and your friends can all ride together. There will be no changes to the rides when you arrive like we did last year, so pick your trails wisely. I'll update the trail sheets as I get emails in, so if one is full by the time you sign up, I'll reply to your email and let you know you need to pick a different trail for that day. I'll also confirm your trail selections when I receive yours, so if you don't hear from me, email me again to make sure I got it.

If you have any questions, feel free to email us or reply to this thread with your questions:

jamie@utvrally.com

Thanks,

Chris

P.S. If you're not registered for the event already, I'd highly recommend it. If you show up at the event last minute, you may not be able to pick exactly the trails you want to run because of the capacity limitations. Also, please read this: Order Extra T-Shirts Please!

Please keep in mind that the poker run will be run on thursday. We will be making it an all day run to cover several trails.

I'm doing the research to make my trail selections, but when do the other events take place like the barrel racing, pole bending, etc. I guess from the last comment we should not schedule a trail ride for Thursday if we will be doing the Poker run?

I see the events start an hour later on the first day, I assume to allow completion of the registration, but how long of a day should we expect for the rides? I would think we will have large variations based on trails, and the numbers in each group, but are we talking 3 to 4 hours, or 10 to 12 hours, can you give me a ballpark?

First timer, so any info is appreciated.

Thanx- Kirk

One event per evening after we return from the trail ride. Correct on the poker run for thursday. Generally you will get back to the arena around 4pm or 5pm from the rides.

John, you'll love those selections...unfortunately we can't change it this year once we get everyone's selections...sorry,

Chris

Cliffhanger might be the only one she will have any problems with. The rest are pretty easy.

Hey Bud,

We missed you last year and it will be good to see you again this year.

I also agree with Kyle about cliffhanger being a little tricky. We did it last year but we are staying away from cliffhanger this year .........

[ravencr]

Cliffhanger definitely gives you a different taste of of a difficult style trail than the rest of Moab. It's a lot of fun!
