I'm still a maybe... starting a new company on Monday and need to see how that's going to go. I'd like to go but already planned a vacation to BANF National Park in July and the summer months are usually pretty heavy work loads so we will have to see. Just depends on how hard @whaler works me.
@NinjaDoc, will be a stretch getting to the Gap by the 9th. Jen and I planned to be there late on the 10th-14th. We're likely going to move around to a couple different rv campgrounds with the new toy hauler to take in some areas we've never ridden before. New type of adventure for us this year
You are always on the side of the tire that's for sure. That coupled with the abrasive surface means you will chew through tires. I took down 4 tires that I had as take offs from the GNF and the each lasted about 3 sessions.
