I would love to go, been trying to get there for years. I'm sure the bike will still be running then, so count me in.

well if the numbers are only going to be small and to 'suit ourselves' then it can happen I hope! we have a campsite we have been to many times.
now the argument used to go like this so bear with me and just read for a second:
it can get very hot there.
the best week is the second week in September - maybe the third but we didn't use it before because those with children had to get them, back to school and it was a busy/expensive time of year.
we used to have three levels of skill among 27 of us but we either have 7 or 14 and button it up I reckon!
we need to contact I think it was 'red river rock campsite' ....maybe I should just read FR1 or FR2 and not be lazy!
I shall have to ask if I can borrow a bike! the good news is that I can come bearing gifts or labours to pay!
we will end up a small group of dedicated 'Husabittens' one day, guess we need to get it together soon!
cheers

Great idea! I would be in for either timeframe (Fall 2017 or Spring 2018). My preference is Fall 2017.
Looking forward to it!

Hello, we have Sept 7-9 or 21-23 2 night stay . You would need 4 cabins @ $80.83 per night total $669.44 We ask for the first nights stay for each cabin to make a deposit of 323.22. We have a 10 day cancellation policy if for any reason you need to cancel the reservation call 10 days prior to the arrival date and you will get a full refund. Please call our office. We are delighted in helping you.
they failed to answer every other question.
the one we used down the road at slickrock has mixed replies...it is a little flea-bitten and we moaned of the cabins 10 years ago. however, we could all camp, RV or cabin within spitting distance of one another.
regards

I think this isn't going anywhere
I've seen more enthusiasm at a funeral
latest from the camp site:
Hello David, the amount of people in cabin is quoted for 2 per cabin. After 2 it is $5.00 a person each night. Yes the cabins double bed under a single. We have a General Store on the property. For photos please look at our web site. RVs are close by walking around is how you can visit. Hope to see you at our campground.

I can't work out whether there's a covered open area/social room?
ambiguous about the RVs when she ssays that they are "just around the corner".
get off your arses!

back in cottonwood, az
things are sure different, aren't they taf? it's pretty much a whole new crew. last we were there was 10 years ago? place is a LOT busier now and overrun with 4 wheel contraptions and people. prices are pretty dear, too.
if i was to show, it would prob be just to visit. gettin' too old to go bouncing off slickrock. speaking of slickrock camground, i don't think theyve upgraded anything since we were there last.

some of us were pissed off at the state of the place last time and canyon looks clean! I'm not getting the answers I asked for? I should really call them and ask 'em straight: 'FFS Woman!!!!! answer the bloody question willya!". I guess we wouldn't be staying there long though if i did!

A chance to meet the infamous Taffy, lol
I'd let you use my bike, a 2011 fe570, for knowledge, since life is constant schooling. I live in Durango, about 3 hrs away. The 1st or 2nd weekend in Oct or the last weekend would be good, my son would probably want to go. He has a seasonal job that should be done by then. A place that takes 5th wheel rv's since I would bring mine.
Next spring would be good too.

Moab is on my bucket list and I would be very interested in attending an organized ride there. My backup bike is my son's CRF150RB, so Taffy if you're over 5'-4" this might not be a good fit.

it was a little like pushing S*&^ up hill at the time. for these things to happen it cannot, it just cannot be left to one person because if for nothing else, there has to be an undercurrant of collective enthusiasm that pushes it along.
sure, not everyone can organise it but saying 'yup' and walking off isn't going to make it happen. having been over twice, i really do have to plan a long way ahead and pay for things in dribs and drabs.
but the campsite people were just numpties, thick as i dunno what to talk too.

There are plenty of hotel rooms to choose from in Moab late Sept to mid Oct.
Tent campsites have some availability. Sites E1 and E2 (Sand Flats Recreation Area | Grand County, UT - Official Website) are 16 person group sites with toilets, picnic tables, and fire pit but no running water. I'm okay with tent camping and hauling in plenty of water. Let me know if you are okay with tenting.
Campsites with cabin rentals are very scarce right now. I've not been able to find anything available on line and will make a few calls when they open up today. I'm guessing a group of 4-6 max at this point as anything larger is likely out of the question.
Since this is only 2-3 months away, anyone who is interested should have a good handle on their fall schedule. Please chime in if you can commit. I'll wait for some momentum to build. I'd be looking at 3-4 days there.

There are a couple of group lodging options (indoors, bed, water, etc). They likely won't last long. I'm happy to help coordinate this ride if there is interest. I'd be driving through Denver to/from and could pick a couple riders up at the airport if needed.
Of course, if anyone wants to ride some Minnesota north woods (Nemadji, Martineau) I'm game for that too. Black Hills in South Dakota is another great option, only a 10 hour drive for me.

KTM not only killed a great brand but also a great band of brothers. I will not forget FR3. What a hoot. **** KTM. I will never buy one and I regret the one I have even if I also love it.
