You had me at 157bpm, which is higher than I've been in quite a while. Seems a few of those climbs came in quick succession. The one that did me in had me caught in a middle gear when I realized we were going way up again. So much fun and challenge to step away from the familiar turf! Looking forward to getting down south for a SATN ride soon, and hope to host you on a Brushy ride as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Bernardo Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Made it up Saturday, but too late for the group ride. Saw the fast group blast by a couple of times. Was going to stop by the camp area, but the gate was down. We headed south and pit stopped at Barrow Brewing in Salado. A good consolation prize. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was great time (except for the face alteration parts!) I'm all in if a few folks say they'll come and make it "a thing." There is plenty of trail I would I like to ride again and lots that I didn't even get to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taco_junkie Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I'd rather change up the destinations for each annual C&D Gone Wild event. But wherever the hive mind decides I'll be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Keeping it within 1-2 hours, other potential locations include Flat Rock Ranch and Reveille Peak Ranch (would probably have to do 1 day at RPR and 1 day at Spider though). Although I'm not sure either has the camping capacity that Dana Peak has. While Madrone, Pace Bend, Muleshoe, RHR and Bluff Creek all have camping, and most have showers, they're are all too short to make for 2 days of riding IMO. Goodwater has plenty of riding and camping, but you're either doing a loop or an out-and back, so not a lot of fun variation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRIDER Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I'd be interested if I'm available that weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at all those places too. I just checked camping availability at Pedernales Falls State Park as well. But the weekends are all booked up. AND the state parks have that ridiculous "no viewable alcohol" rule too. TOTALLY unacceptable! Go Army! Dana Peak has enough spots left to make it doable for some weekends in April or early May. I get the move the event around idea. But since there really isn't a place to try we could just embrace upholding the "tradition" of this event. I'm not trying to sell this. But if a few commit let's do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're trying to drum up interest...you probably have a bigger audience every Tuesday at 6 than you do on this forum. I'm into it, though.

But if you're in, or JRider, or Taco Junkie, or anyone else on this thread, say they're in, then I will say that this small group is going for sure. Then I can say, "this is happening, come on."

Sluggo Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) RPR doesn’t have enough camping? Edited January 6, 2022 by Sluggo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Maybe enough tent camping. We did have a few RVs last time though. I think they only have 2 hookup sites. But I'm not sure about that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBaron Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I'd prolly do as I did last year....come up for the day & 1 night, camp in my truck setup. Hopefully not have to take Barry to the ER at 3am. Cheers, CJB 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tip Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 It's a thang! May 20- 22, 2022 That's Friday through Sunday. Make reservations at: https://www.recreation.gov/ Put in "Dana Peak" in the search window There are currently 14 RV spots available ($24/night). Book Firs Loop 2-7, and Seco Loop spots 8-20 for RVing. There's a $40/night double spot in there somewhere too. Seco 21-25 spots are tent only, but they have electric and water Spots T1-T8 are also tent only but those spots don't have anything. No water or electric I don't know what the cancellation policy is but I strongly urge you, even if you're only 42% sure you'll go, to go ahead and make a reservation right now. You can always give your site away to someone that was slow to respond or cancel it. That happened last year and worked out well. Woot! Woot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRIDER Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I got spot 9. Looking forward to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tip Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 All the RV and improved tent sites are now reserved on the website. There have been a few reserved as backups. So if you decide to come and need a site say something and we'll hook you up. At least for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taco_junkie Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Too late to reserve a good spot. I'll have to bum my way into someone's campsite just like last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tip Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 ALL the sites are good! Well maybe that's a stretch. Maybe better to say that all the sites are adequate! There's lots of room on the RV sites for tent campers. Just say something here, like Taco Junkie did, if you need a place for a tent. Tents won't be any problem. And remember, there are sites reserved for those that still need an RV spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
