Morning trail rides
Since Ouray last year, one thing that has bothered me is waiting till after noon to get started. I am a get up and go in the morning and relax in the afternoon person. So for those showing up, are any of you up for going out in the morning (say by 9) and taking the afternoon to relax/do repairs?

Re: Morning trail rides
There were plenty of early birds last year! I remember the rumble of multiple AMC V-8s starting all at once waking me up before the crack of noon.

Re: Morning trail rides
Yeah I'd rather do trails early before weather comes in. I will be ready to roll by 9. Earlier is negotiable 
Any idea what trails you want to run? If we decide ahead of time, we won't stand around saying "I dunno what do you wanna run?"
I am planning on wheeling Thu, Fri, and Sat am

Re: Morning trail rides
Earlier is fine with me too. Afternoon is for beer and naps and telling tall tales full of actual and made up facts.

If you can't fix it with a hammer or duct tape you have an electrical problem.
