So I posted on the old board about this, but never got an answer.

What are the dates for Moab next year? There are a few people that I know that would like to go, but need to be able to ask for time right after the first of the year when the vacation calendar gets passed around.

So, when is it!

Same time as the past two years?

October was good. Nice temperatures.

Summer is no good because I'll be in Alaska working, LOL.

How bout the week before?

Man, I don't want to experience Phoenix in the summer. I can barely stand a hot Alaskan summer, with mid 80s temps and 70% humidity.

It's dry out there, though, isn't it?

October, and even November, was nice in Moab.

October was a good time, the weather was not too hot and not too cold. It always seems to be around the middle of the month, but I would like to get some dates set.

Should we just start throwing out dates or .......

Well, the 9th and 10th, 15th and 16th, and 22nd and 23rd of October are a Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

There's some dates.

This year most people had 3 full days of wheeling, some had 4. So other than the weekends, where are the other days going to fall during the month?

When is the bike race? Are there any other events that we want to avoid?

-Moab Century Tour (early October)
-24 Hours of Moab (mid October)
-Moab Fat Tire Festival (October 27th - 30th)

Foot races in 2005:

-2nd Annual The Other Half Marathon (October 22nd)

Other:

Moab Music Festival, September 2nd - 17th

This is early, so there may be more events coming.

Sounds like it makes no difference, we just set some dates and hope they are not on trails we want to run.

So does anyone have any preferences?

 

[4xClover]

I don't have a preference either way - so far my calander for October is WIDE open - I just pencil'd in Moab for every weekend!! :xcrazy:

 

[3TRDMARINE]

Anything that far out is open for me too.

In all seriousness....

We would like to do a side trip before the Moab run in the area. The campgrounds book up and are already mostly full right now. In the past the Moab run has always been the 3rd weekend of October. If that is what it is going to be, then it would be the weekend of the 15th-16th. If we could settle on the dates it would be very helpfull. I would like to link up with everyone again this year, but without knowing what the dates are it is going to be more difficult.

I know there has been discussion about the bike race thing, but we have lived with it in the past.

Does it sound OK to make the dates for Moab October 14th (Fri) through October 16th (sun). That would give everyone 3 days in Moab, drive on the 13th and 17th.

I would say it doesn't make a difference when it's 110 outside, but I have been where it was 90 degrees and 90% humidity and that just plain sucked! Nither is good, But I'll take the dry 70 degrees we are having right now all year if I could!

 

[AK98Taco]

Dry heat is much better!

Last summer In Anchorage we had 40+ days straight of no rain and temps of at least 70*F. On the days that is was bluebird and in the mid 80s, I couldn't stand to be without a cold drink and cold towel to wrap myself in. Unfortunately, working in an office without A/C was torture!

I delcare the 14th to the 16 the offical dates

 

[BlingTaco]

I agree with mike......let's go during other events that don't include mtn bikers....i'm a mtn biker myself so no offense to bikers, just too many potential fight situations....if possible, we should schedule around the 24 hr race...my 2 cent

 

[wisctaco04]

I delcare the 14th to the 16 the offical dates

I'll be there mid-March and early June if you fellas are around. I'll bring some good ol Wisconsin beer and brats!
