Hey guys,

So found out today that I'm supposed to be getting a Job Offer in the mail in the next couple weeks... possibly moving to Colorado Springs in about a month or two... (As long as they don't overly Low Ball me ).

Anyone have friends out there that 4x4?

One cool thing, I'll be closer to Moab... and can meet up with you guys for any trips out there...

Better start an IOR chapter!

And lots of good wheeling out there and very pretty.

Was thinking the IOR Chapter... I've been trying to move to CO for awhile now...

Don't know about 4x4 there but it's an amazing state and city, use to live there!

I imagine there is a lot of trails there tho!

I lived in Fort Collins for two years for grad school... loved it! Been trying to move back ever since I got my first job here in CA 5yrs ago.

The Springs isn't my number pick of places to live in CO... but hey, it's CO ... gotta get out of CA before it goes bankrupt

Guess negotiations start this week... and I have to figure out what this timeline is like... Things took forever to get to this point, now I feel like theres a steam roller at my front door.

Tons of great wheeling in CO. If I had to move, I think that would be the place. The Independence trail system is near Penrose, not too far from Co Springs. It's pretty hard core. The trail to near the top of Mt Blanca is pretty nice, and is in south central CO, would be a great weekend trip. There are a number of trails around Buena Vista, Chinamans is mild with some fun optional lines, Carnage Canyon is long and can be steep and is hardcore, with great views of fourteeners across the valley. Holy Cross is a great trail for an overnight run, and it's a little north of BV. There are plenty of cool sightseeing trails in the general Buena Vista area, can't remember the names of them all. From Taylor Reservoir in central CO there are more great trails, not hard but require 4x4, going north is Taylor Pass which hits 11,500', then going SW towards Crested Butte is Pearl Pass which hits 13,000' and is only open on dry years. We hit it lucky one year and got to run it.....pretty breathtaking. On the west side there are a few great trails in Grand Junction, 21 Road north of town and Billings Canyon (great trail) south of town. There is a complete trail system of hardcore trails just west of Montrose.

There are also many great sightseeing trails in the San Juans around Ouray and Silverton. I've been fortunate to run everything I've mentioned except the stuff in the San Juans, still on my list of things to do.

Well it's official... I'm moving to Colorado Spring mid November...

Sad to leave my new found IOR Family... but I know this wont be the end for us... I'll be around for a few runs here and there... maybe if you guys do Moab, I can meet up!

Maybe even start a CO Springs IOR Chapter
