Ok whos in? (May 25th - May 28th)

Thinking of leaveing Friday after work staying till Monday morning. This means ride all day Saturday and Sunday. (MTB Lift $18.00) per day. It also means 3 nights in the hotel at $69.00 per night (2 beds). I don't know much about camping but if anyone has info post up. I am thinking we could split the room cost for sure, and if anyone has a truck that would be great to carry the bikes. It sounds like alot of folks from AZ will be going and I am just trying to gather a few to cut cost and have a good time.

Anyone is welcome DH or XC let's show up and have some fun.

:cheers:

Might be easier to get a motel the following weekend.

Camping:
Sunrise Campground is located at the entrance of the Sunrise Park Resort. It is a primitive campground in the quiet pines away from the hustle and bustle of city life. There are approximately 200 sites which can accomodate anything from a tent to large motorhomes. There are no modern facilities or hookups. Port-a-jons and water are available throughout the campground. Tables and firepits are at most sites. The campground is operated and maintained by the White Mountain Apache Game and Fish Department. There is a permit required, $8.00 per vehicle, which can be purchased from the General Store.

Hotel: I have a freind who is a manager for Hilton Resorts and I am working on getting free rooms or severley discounted! Looks like Doube Tree is in the area which is a Hilton brand hotel usualy has a Coozy too!

That would be sweet if you could swing the hotel rooms!!

I still kinda favor the camping.

Then again if we got the room(s) cheap, a nice sweet bed would hurt.

Jap-Z, you should pull a weekend trip down here for just this ride!!!! It would be sweet.

Kyle doesn't have his Banshee built up, and his wife won't let him out of her sight for more than a day, :disgust1: so he's prolly out.

I've got seven more weeks of rehab on the back, so I'm prolly out as well. :dead:

It's a good time up there. Have fun and I insist on photos of Jeff getting arrested for being drunk and disorderly! :monkeydance:

Are there links to sites with pictures of riding from Sunset? I have heard a bunch of stuff about the place and maybe worth driving to next time we stop by PHX.

Bender as in local big Bender?:confused:

Just a FYI, the rooms are at "Holiday rates" this weekend, I called to make my reservations yesterday and they are $89/night. Still not terrible, but I would hate so see someone get up there and get screwed.

I know some of the Cactus crew is headed up Saturday morning. I am headed up Sat morning, leaving PHX at 5am so I can be there when the mountain opens.

Hopefully the maintenance crews up there have cleared up any downed tree's etc so there isn't a ton of maintenance to be done to get some riding in. I know Chutes and Ladders needs alot of work from what James was saying.

Anyways, the weather looks like its gonna be awesome, 75-80 and sunny on Sat/Sun should beat the way that last season ended in the snow :clapping:
