Decide where yet?
Huzzah! I'll buy beer.
Looking for cop work, or something else?
I didn't want to lay claim to the limited 9, and can't yet commit to those dates, but I might drive out for a leg or two (out-and-backs from campsites) or sweet-talk the wife/family into shuttle...
What was the From address? I never got a confirmation, but check was cashed 12/16.Confirmation E-mail found in junk mail folder.
Check your PM's.
Hey @johnbryanpeters I just checked the email address in my email, and I didn't get a confirmation but my bank has the check as cashed. Should I reach out to Dakota Cyclery at the email address 'squeeb sent me, or since you've been in touch with them do you think it would be better if you do that? Lemme know, happy to shoot an email over.
Probably easier on them If I check in, single point of contact. I suspect that they're a small outfit and a little disorganized. I did send Jen our full roster.
I believe we're at $163/head, will confirm. Shuttle to trailhead, van carries camping gear and supplies to camping stops. At the end of the trip, they shuttle us back to Medora.
Most excellent. Tent camping or do they happen to have a way to move a small camper? Earl would be cool with sharing space and camper resources with the group too (if they can tow/transport) otherwise tent is fine too.
I think we should figure tent camping.
Shop for food when you get to NoDak? Also, with a little planning we could all coordinate group meals and split the cost of all the food... this would likely be cheaper and easier than everyone bringing their own foods. Well, the planning would be a little bit more of a hassle upfront, but then preparing the meals at camp would be less complicated since we wouldn't have several cooks in the camp kitchen at once.Oooooo.... New motorcycle luggage arrived today. Should be able to pack all gear and bike, on bike. Still mulling over the food situation though.
I'd be down with this. I can haul food, but I don't want to be eating freeze-dried and/or rice and beans for a solid week, and trying to figure out how to keep groceries cold while still riding the bike has kind of stumped me.
Okay, I just went back and read some of your earlier posts as well... if it helps I'm guessing Nick and I will be driving up together from Denver, and we can probably take your mountain bike either to the ride or back to Denver, or both. You know, if you wanna travel a bit more lighter on the moto and get a tour of the Badlands or whatever your plan is. Just a thought. As for keeping food cold while on the moto, I can't help you. But I would assume you would plan to arrive in Medora the day before we start pedaling, we'll do all our packing and whatnot the day before. I would assume anyways.
That's the plan, at least for now. Probably leave the house 2-3 days before we ride and take the uber-scenic route.
I would assume as well.
