2021 Kokopelli... I may as well put it out there...

Random questions:
1) Can I assume that they will have charging stations for our electronics at camp?
2) Is there a designated support group along the way somewhere during each leg of the ride?
3) Is it all-you-can-eat? :laugh:

1- They had charging stations, but I took about 6 of those portable batteries with the USB ports. Worked perfectly...
2- What? You want your hand held? :p
3. You will not leave meals hungry.
4. I'm normally a 1 or 2 beer guy. I had 7 at the end of the first day, mostly to dull the pain from my crash. 7 is not enough to outdrink Tom. :Roflmao

And this pops up on the picture slot machine. Big brother is watching. https://www.imtbtrails.com/forum/threads/rr-kokopelli-2019.8512/#post-178820https://www.imtbtrails.com/forum/threads/rr-kokopelli-2019.8512/#post-178820

Am I understanding it correctly that lunch is served somewhere along the way each day? Meaning, you ride roughly half way through your day's ride, stop and chow, then carry on to the end where camp is set up?

Sometimes I think with my kahonas, but this is not one of those times.
Ok so I asked, and she abruptly replied, “F@ck no” as the waffle fry she was chewing struggled to stay in her mouth. Haha! I love her so much!

Now, if the Hooligan Nation were to consider representing iMTBtrails in a 24-hour race, I would invest more resources into a future plan. As it is, this shindig kinda manifested suddenly, and I don’t even get to ride during the day like a normal Hooligan. Ima go out on a limb and say I’m out. :)

Yes lunch stops are roughly half way through each day. We stop and chow and refill our camelbacks. Lots of options on what to eat and how much. Getting rolling after the lunch stop is probably the hardest part of the trip for me.

Trust your fellow Hooligans...
I know my first time was nerve racking to know what to expect and what to bring, and how to prepare.
You have Koko Veterans here to take care of you and we have plenty of time to ease the minds of Koko Cadets!

Remember today is the day. Registration opens at 9:00am this morning. I imagine that there are plenty of Mountain Bikers around the world tired of the COVID Bullshit and ready to stretch their legs in some sanity!
So I anticipate this selling out very quickly.

1. Be preregistered on www.bikereg.com now
2. Log in early.
3. Refresh, refresh, refresh your screen to get the window to register.

I give the Mikie Watson personal imtbtrails Hooligan Nation guarantee you are going to make it and have one of the times of your life on this incredible adventure!


Party on Garth!

But, of course.
 
After the post ride celebration, do you guys stay in the Moab Campground or do you head off on your own? In other words, do you stay the night after the adventure is completed with the group?
When we get in to Moab, Bikerpelli rents spaces at the Moab RV Park the ride ends right at the RV Park. One of the nicest places in town. Showers, Swimming pool, RV, Ten, and Cabin Sites. We have, the last couple of times rented a Cabin. We get cleaned up and have do one of two things. Either have gone out to dinner usually at McStiffy's or stay for the free awesome Last Supper that Bikerpelli puts on. We stay the night, they also serve breakfast Sunday morning. Then they start the load up of trucks with bikes and gear, busses to load up people and head back to Fruita. We have done it both ways. If we self shuttle then we are on the road home hours ahead of them. It also gives us the opportunity to do some extra credit if we are interested.

Yep...

I will say that my only complaint was they didn't make the coffee first in the morning. We had to smell the bacon cooking while the coffee was brewing. Torture.
 
It's pretty basic. that's the beauty of doing this trip with Bikerpelli.
~ A bike. It can be an XC bike, a trail bike or an enduro bro rig. No perfect bike for this. I've done it on an a Ripley and a Hightower and both were great.
~A mechanically sound bike ready for 3 days of flogging. Something that won't need a shifter cable or brake pads or stupid stuff replaced within the 1st 20 miles. There's repair stands at each lunch stop and camp and even a mechanic that'l help if you can't fix things yourself.
~ A duffel bag that will have basic camping gear like a tent and sleeping bag as well as whatever riding gear, clothes and personal hygiene stuff you need. Evenings are chilly so don't forget some warm casual wear.
~ A folding camp chair. This doesn't have to be in your duffel bag.
~ A small sag bag that has stuff like extra bars, tailwind, tubes, chain lube and sunscreen in it. This will be available at the lunch stop each day.
~A well stocked camelbak or something that will get you through a days riding. Make sure to include a spare derailleur hanger as there's plenty of places to smack it.
~ Bring an appetite cause the food is great.
~ Bring a sense of humor cause there's plenty of smack talking.:Roflmao
~ Remember nobody will out drink Voodoo Tom at the end of day celebrations.:cool:
I challenge you on the out drinking thing. Might have to take your title. Just kidding. We can celebrate together.

I am very interested in the extra credit. At least 1 trail in Moab but I might stay an extra day or two, have always wanted to ride Moab.
 
Leave all your make up at home. No blow dryers... etc. :p

Hey now, I'm bringing my "teddy bear" and nothing anyone can say will change that! :rolleyes:

A good sized bag. Like I said earlier I even take an air mattress and a battery powered pump.
Sorry only pic I could find.

Tom, is EVERYTHING inside your bag there?

The black bag stayed at the truck.

They were good with you having your tent as a separate item?
 
Well, that was easy. I'm still more of a highly likely than definitely, but secured my slot anyway. I'm starting a new job where I report to someone who is not me for the first time in 7 years, so there are still some moving pieces to sort out, but I plan to be there barring a major issue.
