    Liz,
    For your No mercy ride on Sunday here's a plan. Climb up Backbone to top of Guadalasco, Down Guad to wood cyn then left turn to Two Foxes, halfway up Two foxes left turn on Coyote and up to watertank, then climb up to Hidden pond,then a fun DH back to Sin Nombre and haul ass all the way down the cyn. I have ridden this loop and it hits some of the better and more challenging ST. The ride is a mix of good climbs, fun downhill, and kicks ass!

    Just a suggestion.

    im confirmed. there may be room for one more tent in my campground, but im still not sure yet. im bringing two other people with me that will be mountain biking. one is very new to the sport. other is beginner/intermediate rider that rides with me weekly on sundays, kinda slow but can handle it. i truly dont want to leave my friends by themselves so i'll probably join you guys for the morning and night rides. after lunch, i'll probably head out with them for some scenic riding.

    I've changed my mind about the kick ass ride. I wantto do a fun ride that will wear people out but they'll love it while they're doing it!

    As of this moment, I will be arriving Friday evening...
    Leaving sometime on Saturday!

    * Anyone have an OPEN parking space?

    * I am confused about the rides...
    FRIDAY Evening: What time will the ride start? How many miles? Difficulty?
    Saturday: What time will the ride(s) start? How many miles? Difficulty?
    Saturday Evening: Rides planned?

    I do realize plans change.. "KICK ASS" rides change...Times change
    Just trying to get an idea of whom I should invite!

    I'll be arriving on Saturday morning. Probably around 08:30-09:00. We'll be ready to ride pretty quick-like. I can lock our gear in my truck and set up camp after the AM ride.
    I nabbed 1 spot but we're only using 1 tent, so we have room to spare. I hope we all can get sites that are close.

    Hidden pond and Coyote are most definitely open bikes.
    Some maps have not been updated, as the opening of these trails has been recent in the past year.

    theres room for a single man tent on my campground. we'll have two smaller sized tents that fit two people, so im sure we can squeeze a small one in.

    hey liz, how are we going to do this? are you still going to try to get all our campgrounds next to each other? ride times? ride grouping? party?

    I'm going to try and go up early tomorrow. Depends on work. If some folks want to PM their name and campsite reservation #'s I can see if I can get us all close together. I'll send out a message tomorrow on what I find out. Meantime PM #'s tonight.
    As for rides, Dino, no real set plans as of yet. Good rides for sure but no times are set as of yet! I don't even know who's coming anymore!
    Todd, I like Coyote starting at the water tower! The downhill is fun to two foxes! 2 cents!
    Todd,

    I'm hoping something will be posted soon. Otherwise the "ride-in" locals who aren't camping will have no idea what time to show up.

    Anyone bringing internet capabilities to the campsite so the ride plans can be posted? And so that you can post the campsites ya'll are staying in.
