Moab 2007 flight, car and lodging share thread!

johnfoss · 2007-01-31T03:30:02+00:00

Hi folks, this is mostly to find people interested in sharing with me from Salt Lake City. I've arrived late to the party and many of my fellow Northern CA riders already filled up two cars and a condo, so: I've put a call in for another unit at the Cedar Breaks condos. The Andy Cotter and Nathan Hoover groups will be there as well. If I can't get Cedar Breaks we'll look for another one in town. For ride-sharing purposes, I will arrive in SLC on Friday morning, hopefully by 10:00am. I will leave on Monday afternoon, no earlier than 3:00 so we don't have to get up real early for the drive back up there. The drive is about four hours if you go the speed limit. Beyond that it's up to you. Right now I'm all by myself, so looking to share either the room, the car or both. Also my travel dates are flexible until someone joins in. One of these days I'd like to take more time to see Canyonlands, and maybe more of Arches National Parks. That's a possibility also. Please post here, or contact me at the email address in my sig. -- johnfoss John Foss "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com ----------------------------------------------- "pretty much every trail that we've done on the California or Moab Muni weekends is an XC trail." -- Kris Holm, on XC from a North Shore point of view ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/57336

I just have a comment. You should try and stay the extra time to see
arches because it is pretty awesome. I've been there twice and it is
cool to see all the rock formations.

I was thinking about coming down thursday night, so that I could arrive
in time to enjoy all of fridays riding and be well rested for it. I was
planning on heading out monday aswell but since I have to work the next
day I don't want to arrive in town too too late (no later than two on
tuesday morning).
I'm kind of on a budget though and I'm trying to keep the entire
weekend on two weeks pay (one paycheck plus tips). How much would the
condo cost for that period of time and how much would it cost for gas
and stuff like that?
If we can keep that kind of stuff around $150 USD then I'm down for
that, if you can get a more exact estimate though, I might even be able
to find some more money, it all depends on what tips are like in the
next few weeks.

I am deffinetly interested in going in on a car share from SLC to Moab,
I am fine with heading down Friday morning, but would prefer to head
back Tuesday or Wednesday to allow some time for climbing after the
event, depending on how much the condo is per person per night I might
be interested in going in on a unit at cedar breaks ,but I might wind
up camping if its out of my price range. I plan on taking a bus down
from Jackson Hole to SLC I will be arriving in SLC at about 12pm on
Friday, let me know if you are interested in staying the extra day or
two, and how much the condo is, drop me a Email at unicyclejoe at yahoo
dot com

We're flying in Thursday morning, hoping to get to Moab before dark and
do some photography and such. We have space for one more person in our
car. We could be interested in a cabin if we get a private room.

So... um... how good should someone be if they wanted to go to Moab?
I've only been riding a month, I can ride my little Torker LX 24 on
dirt roads and stuff, but I've never even tried real mountains and
trails yet. I don't really want to go all the way there to be a
spectator. How good is good enough?

Moab is an oustanding place for new riders to work on skills. The
first time I went, it was about the third MUni ride I'd ever done; I've
brought other folks with similar track records. You can always walk
the stuff that's too difficult for you.

oh, dont worry. Any skill level is good for Moab. The slickrock trail
isn't rocky, its smooth and fun fun fun! And it's not like you have to
cross the MTN's, you walk what ever you want or ride what you want.
Half the time people are walking, so it's not like everybody will lauph
at you because your the only one walkin or anything like that. Moab is
good for noobs or experts.

OK, I guess I better seriously start practicing and getting in shape
(losing a few winter pounds will help).
How do you get your uni's out there? It looks like mine will fit in my
largest suitcase, or does the airline just treat them as checked
luggage? Nothing on the USAir web site about uni's, just bikes (at $80
one-way charge!!)
I may look into arriving Thurs and driving to Moab from SLC that day.
Don't want to miss Friday if possible. Flying out Monday afternoon,
also. Coming out from beautiful South Jersey, USA (home of Bruce
Springsteen).
Places to stay? Looks like any of the lodging would be OK; you still
need to drive to the trail's starting point.
I'll know definitely in a fews days, thanks.

When I flew to NAUCC in Memphis, I took 3 unicycles (two 20"s and a 24"
muni) inside two different suitcases. You'll have to take apart
whatever it needs to fit depending on the suitcase. Frame, seat post,
pedals, etc.

It's still up in the air if I'll be able to make it this year, I may
have a trip for work right around then. Missing the fest would be a
huge disappointment for me, last year was so great and this year I'm a
much better rider so I can only imagine how much fun I would have. If
things work out, I think my wife will come with and ride a bike, so
that would make it even better.
Wish me luck that this other thing gets rescheduled!!
