2012 cam1000

[Maximillion]

Hey Big John,

Registration and check are in the mail .... Looking forward to the adventure!

Thanks to you and your volunteers for all the energy that's been put into this !!

[Big_John]

Excellent....great to hear that more of you are interested.

Two weeks.....thats all the time left to register.

[Big_John]

With a very successful RMAR Rendezvous under our belt, it is now time to focus on the CAM.

as mentioned in earlier posts, the CAM2000 has been cancelled due to lack of interest. On the other hand we are tracking for 20-25 riders for the CAM1000.

If you are interested, I need your email address. All the details are being communicated via email.

We are only keeping registration open for a week or two longer and then will close the ride for any additional participants.

Join if you can.

John

So cool.
Found out about this just a little late. Guess I'll have to plan for next year. Looks like you guys are going to have a great time.

Be safe!

Gortex is expensive but worth its weight in gold on a cold, wet day.

Gortex gloves simply ROCK!!!!!

Glad you tested your gearing and are ready to go.

I will be bringing my cold weather sleeping bag to colorado this weekend and going to decide how I want everything placed on the bike. Ordered new waterproof gloves as well. I am ready and waiting.

John/guys.
I will need to pass on this ride. Seems like work will be getting in the way. It to bad because I bought a new 2012 DRZ for the trip, have it set up, and rode it about 1500 miles already. I also just ran a marathon, hence I was ready to go!!

By the way everyone.....this ride is closed.

If you are seriously interested.....join us in 2013.
