2011 US RaptorSource tour

[Colorado700R]

Oregon dunes Winchester bay and/or Coos bay
St Anthonys Idaho
Pennsylvania ?
Chadwick, Missouri
Lake Murray, Oklahoma
Montana?
Somewhere that has a good trail system would be awesome.

Colorado FTW for the trail systems

I would definitely be down for Colorado or Utah for some mountain trails!  Great camera opportunities!

Not to step on Colorados toes, but I know of some really cool mountain trails in Colorado.

[socalrappy700]

Right now I was thinking of this current list.  If we start in the fall we'll need to start at silver lake due to the dunes closing.  But if we do a spring trip it can be last.

Silver Lake
Hatfield McCoy
LS OK
Glamis
Dumont
Pismo
Winchester bay and/or Coos bay
SA
Stop in Colorado yet to be determined
End in chicago for a pizza party downtown?
Another idea was durhamtown plantation
We can add more stops because right now even if we did ride one day, drive the next we still have time to spare hitting all these stops.

I noticed alot of people wanting trails. I would HIGHLY recommend looking at Halsey, Ne. It would be a good mid way stop. I would try to visit it before they shut down the majority of the park. Riding is free and camping is 3 bucks! Free showers to boot.

The more I look at that place, the more I wanna go. I hope I can get there before hippy tree huggers ruin it.

Id like to be apart of this, count me in

Socal, that map you posted is sick!

The route from Oregon to ST.A's might be flawed a bit US 84 out of portland to US 15N then to Rexburg, ID. Should be quick than the northern Montana route

[socalrappy700]

Good call Aaron, but what CO riding spot would you rate the highest?

[Colorado700R]

Sand + trails Walden, trails only Taylor park

I fear that walden would be a let down for those making the St.A's trip too.  It would be like going to glamis then silver lake next.....

Taylor park "looks" amazing (I will verify this in August), and has nice amenities for those who prefer not to camp. But it is strictly trails.  From taylor park you can ride all the way into Aspen, CO, across the Continental divide numerous diffrent ways, to me it looks like the best Rocky Mountain experience with dozens 14K mountains surrounding.

Your lucky I wasn't there......

I woulda pushed that POS off that cliff and saved you the embarrassment

[Alkire193]

When I was in CO for High Altitude training the blackhawks flew over an amazing trail system in the area of Pikes Peak. Anyone have any idea where that is? I went for miles and miles across the tops of the rockies. If it has a name that might be something to add.

that's my neighborhood...

That's Rainbow falls, or the 717 route from divide to north of woodland park Colorado

Some of the best really high speed trails are in Tarryall/Lake George Colorado just 30 miles past Woodland park

I was 150 feet off the ground following all the atv riders, that was an amazing trail system! If that makes the list im definetly in! I cant believe you get to ride that all the time, puts everything in West TN to shame,

[fireman5166]

should go from pismo to sand mountain nv. then to coos bay or.
