It's ALWAYS good to see the Colorado brothahood! What about your brother? Is he still a wannabe flyboy?

Hey Mikie, my brother probably isn't going. I have a Yeti buddy from Wyoming that was committed last year, I'm hoping he'll be in again this year. My brother talks about taking the camper out and doing something on his own, so he could still potentially appear along the route somewhere.

Now... remember that baller who had that super large tent 2 years ago? I'm looking for a taller tent I can stand up in for this year.

I may be "that guy". I have the Big Agnes Big House 4 https://www.bigagnes.com/BIG-HOUSE-4?quantity=1&custcol8=15 I am 6', and can stand up in it. Makes it easier on my very confrontational lower back. Looks like they may have changed the design, though, the specs on the current model show a shorter height.
 
You guys need to break out of your rut. Broaden your horizons. Might I suggest:

Oregon Timber Trail: https://oregontimbertrail.org You don't have to do it all at once.

OREGON, CASCADE HUTS
Mount Hood is Oregon’s highest and most-likely-to-explode volcano, so you better see it while it’s still intact. The Cascade Huts are scattered around the biking trail that circumnavigates Mt. Hood, providing beautiful views of the Columbia Gorge and the Meadows of Mount Hood itself. The trail is 137 miles long and takes about 4 days to complete. If you are looking for more of a challenge the trail can be extended with more rugged, technical side-trails that are accessible from the service roads. The huts sleep about 8 people comfortably, but there is always a lot of camping in the Mt. Hood area if you feel like pulling along a trailer or some saddle-bags.

NORTH DAKOTA, MAH DAAH HEY TRAIL
When most people hear the phrase, “multi-day mountain biking tour” their brain doesn’t conjure images of the badlands. But North Dakota’s Mah Daah Hey Trail is quickly becoming one of the most popular biking trails in the country. Unlike most trails, The Mah Daah Hey was constructed with mountain bikes in mind. It is 97 miles long and winds through the grassy, beautiful badlands of North Dakota and follows the Little Missouri River. This trail is less technical than most overnight biking trails so it would be no problem to bring a trailer along. You might want to bring one since there is no hut system constructed; just you, your bike, and your gear facing the forest head on.

North Umpqua Trail, Southern Oregon: 71 miles, 95% singletrack and stunningly beautiful. Maybe my favorite ride ever. https://www.mtbproject.com/trail/87559/north-umpqua-imba-epic

I've read about the Hut rides. That looks like bucket list material...

Have you done the Koko ride?
We can discuss therapy later. :-)
 
ARE E-BIKES ALLOWED?
E-bikes are not currently supported either mechanically or logistically. This would basically be an entirely different ride, so no, no E-bikes, sorry.
:whistling::p

I remember he told me it's a biking trip with support crew. Why are you speeding in a backpacking tent.

I had purchased this tent to use in bike packing adventures and so it's what I had and thought would be a good choice for the Kokopelli ride. A larger taller tent is what I will bring this next time.
