Colorado to Moab ZuZoo X Convoy : 2007!

[Triathlete]

Nothing to worry about....Just don't follow me , which won't be a problem since I won't be making the trip this year.
As everyone has said, everyone there is VERY helpfull. Just make sure you have a spotter you trust and follow what he/she says. Ask around and you will find the people you want spotting. Have faith in the VX...it is very capable. Pick your trails carefully. Once the trail list is up you can find lots of info on the web about each trail. If you stick with trails that are rated 3.5 or under you will do just fine. Follow a fellow VXer with a similarly equiped VX so you can watch the line they take.
Once you get comfortable in your and the VX's capabilities you'll be ready to follow me next year...because once you go it will be real hard not to go again!

I feel so...MOTIVATED! Heck yes!!! I am excited! i can use a getaway...and the VX run sounds cool too! I just might have to go to that too!!! Yippy Skippy!!! I just need you all to hold my hand along the way and I think I might make it out without changing my diaper... Thanks ya'll!

I think I might make it out without changing my diaper... Thanks ya'll!

Ummm...that depends...

Sorry, I just couldn't resist...you're in good hands, last year was my first time, but I wasn't too freaked out, since I've been riding bikes off road since I was 8 or 9 yrs. old. OK, I was kinda freaked out by the first couple of obstacles , but after you see what one of these little trucks can do, that feeling subsides.
I know Wyld Weasel was a little apprehensive at first, and rightfully so...it was her first time off road AND she was sportin' a fresh paint job...two very good reasons.
She came through without a scratch...as mentioned earlier, everyone is very helpful.
The wheeling is what I went to ZuZoo for last year, the comraderie & good fellowship I experienced is the main draw for me this year, the wheeling is a close second.
It's almost as if you're getting together with old friends you haven't seen for a long time...or family, that you actually want to see.
There is no way to put the experience into words, but if you run across Vlad's "road to nowhere" video, it's a pretty good thumbnail sketch of the ZuZoo experience.

Okay...can we have an update on dates, times and places?

It would be great if the first post in this thread could be edited with the "TBD" times filled in!

I was planning a drive out through the Utah desert in May anyway, so if I can schedule it properly I WOULD like to get to Moab and ZuZoo.

...I guess that request is aimed at me.. ha!

Jay/Nocturnal: Will you be joining the convoy/BBQ in grand junction?

-biju.

We (Tone, Lisa, me) haven't finalized the trip route yet, but would love to hook up with everyone if you don't mind a funny looking VX joining in.

[biju]

It would be quite the honor, man! Can't wait to see the FJ!!!

-biju.

[Triathlete]

MMMmmmmm! FJ...













































...
Slightly modified!

[ZEUS]

And slightly older body style! Jay, how dare you call that black bubble a VX! What all have you done to your FJ so far - I was thinking it would be cool to see a comparable FJ and VX duke it out on the trail.

Right now the running gear is completely stock, I've been concentrating on the interior first. I will throw some skid plates on and may level the front (up 2") before Moab. It should be able to keep up with the VX bretheren OK.

roughly six weeks away...

anybody else thinking of joining the BBQ & VX train to moab?

The following VX'ers are from CO who've recently logged into vx.info (apologies if i missed anyone):

afortna
driver3
fuzzy
moncha
jemorga
mdwyer
nater
vfrider1
vxdakinechicvx
zilik

some above are eluding to coming to zu (eh-hem, *moncha*) - however most i'm assuming aren't going to moab this year. regardless, any chance we'll see any of you in glenwood springs and the bbq gathering in grand junction??? it would be really cool to meet you all, even if you're not going on to moab after that. besides, you're so close to the action!

just curious.

i see a few more folks have responded to the poll. welcome, and see you there!

take care all.

[Tone]

Jay, Lisa and I will be coming in from TX and it looks like it is only a bit over a 100mi from Moab but we'd like to join up - what time?

Are the dates for sure yet? or are they still up in the air? I know it's around the 15th and 16th...right? I need to take the time off work. Thanks.
