I figured since the other thread started out as talking about making a club, and what clubs are available, we should have a thread that's just dedicated to setting up trail runs.

The title says it all, and it'll be less cluttered.

So, the 9/18/10 Run to Potato Ridge was a success!

Next item on the schedule is Logandale on 10/23/10 according to McRoberts. Seems like we have a few interested parties! Who all is planning to attend?

If there is anything in the meantime, or someone local wants another rig to ride with them, just post up and see if anyone is available!

I don't know about that one. It says it was used to smuggle people into the U.S. right there in Spanish.
No it doesn't! He says it runs good and is a five speed! F-ing ******!

Just saw the pics of that one. I've learned to stay away from the ones that have armor all all over the motor. They pressure wash them and spray that on them to mask fluid leaks!

Do you guys know of a trail that you think would be safe during rain?
I had set aside this saturday to go hit up a trail or two, but it definitely looks like it's going to rain now. I don't want to get caught out in a flash flood or something, so is there anywhere I can go that's going to be safe?

If memory serves, and it's about as bad as Ysb's, so this shouldn't be trusted, Kodachrome should be ok. It's behind Frenchman mtn and is accessed by taking lake mead blvd toward the lake and keep an eye out on the left before the toll booth. There's interpretive signs where the trails start. Nice little set of two or three decent trails.

Personally, I would not head out alone on any trails with which I was unfamiliar in the rain no matter how easy or safe it may seem. If you do, try to stay within cellphone coverage so you can call one of us when something happens. Bring some food and water just in case you end up waiting for a while.

I've run Cottonwood Pass during a heavy rain and it was fine the whole way. There were small washes off to the sides in some spots, but none that threatened the road or safety.

It's about 12 miles long running from Blue Diamond Road to Goodsprings. Most of the trail is overlooked by Mt. Potosi so, you should be in cell range from their communication towers the whole way.

If MY memory serves Kodachrome requires crossing several washes.
