This thread seems to have morphed from the original questions/comments about the "VX only run"....
...to discussion about the organization of runs for the entire week !!
As far as the VX only run is concerned...
Comments seem to favor retiring the "VX Only" run and putting on an easy ( "newbie" ) run on the Tuesday..
......led and tail gunned by a couple of more experienced wheelers...
...and it seems there are plenty happy to take the lead/tail.
So I guess that will sort its self out nearer the time next year.
Regarding the rest of the weeks runs...
Staying at the "stoop" may have its advantages ( and may not!!)...
..but it seems most runs start & end up back there...
...if only for the post run stories/chat/cocktails /wrenching-fixes...etc
To me, it seems to work as a direct result of its ad lib nature...
After that first Tuesday run, it has become 'tradition' to have the Monkey shake party at the stoop....
What better time to solidify new aquaintances made that first day, catch up with
past years friends,and get some plans laid for the following day?
In my experience, after that...the following days runs seem to pretty much
sort themselves out based on the usual skill/modifications/scenic/gnarly/friendships basis.
No scenario is going to suit everyone...
BUT.... the Stoop seems to be a good general meeting place...
...and short of "sign up sheets" the night before (), the overall results seem pretty good.
Maybe I'm biased...cause I get almost as much pleasure talking VX , learning VX..fixing VX stuff...
....and meeting new & veteran Moab'ers at the stoop as I do driving the trails!
Lets not over organize this...
....and being on holiday means ..RELAX!
