Nevada Backroaders

Our fearless tour guide Brad will be leading myself and anyone else interested in attending over Bitter Springs for a Hump & Bump pre-run. Everyone is welcomed to attend.

When: 10/27/07
Meet at: Sinclair Gas Station at the Valley of Fire exit 75.
Time: Meet @ 8:30 AM, roll @ 9 AM.

For anyone new to the trail, it rates about 1.5-2.0 max. Last time I ran it, it was full size, stock friendly (anyone else think no?). It's an all day run, so bring lunch, snacks, drinks, etc.

If the run gets switched to a Sunday pls re-post.

I fixed it Brad. I likely would have caught the date issue, but I typed it in with my phone while in Ely. The digital service there leaves much to be desired I was lucky enough to get that in and check the weather forecast before I lost connection.

I think the only change was the date. 10/27/07. If I'm right, I'll be there.
I LOVE Bitter Springs.

So both the Patatoe Ridge Run and Bitter Springs are on the 27th, Saturday?

yep, 2 fun runs on the same day. it happens sometimes. since the bitter springs run is a pre-run for hump & bump, and since h&b is the first weekend in november, and since gary has been out of town, and since i have been out of town, and the 20th is an official club run, we have no choice but to run it on the 27th. but you get to choose which run you wish to make, bitter springs is fairly easy and stock/newbie friendly while potato ridge may be a little more then a newbie in a stock vehicle wants to try. i rate bitter springs a 1/1.5 level trail at most while potato ridge rates a hard 2.5 and may be a level 3 after the recent rains. i apologize to andy & shelia and in no way want to draw people away from andy's party run but as we are all adults we can choose whice run we want to make and which one we don't.

Let me start by saying that Fun runs are not a Club sactioned event. There is no hard rule saying that there can be only one fun run at a time. But, it is "common courtesy" to not plan another run the same day that someone else has already scheduled a run. As Brad has said, do to H&B being the first weekend on Nov. and scheduling conflicts, there is no other opportunity to do the prerun at any other time but next weekend. While we are all adults, we are able to make our own choices. For those that do go on the Bitter Springs trip, I know that they will be back in town and still be able to make Andy's BBQ.

Brad, what about running it backwards? We had discussed that as an option for H&B due to paperwork. Also puts us a lil closer to Andy's afterwards.
