If I can get my quad trailer complete this week, I'll join you for the day on Saturday!

 

We went to Reiter pit then to Heapsters secret spot. I know where it is but chum up to heapster to get the invite. It's a fun ride up a little Pikes Peak type of run.

No he just cut a tire. The rain didn't completely shut us down but I did wimp out sooner then I should have. My coat was in my pickup so," my bad".

 

Sounds like Reiter can really take a toll on quads, how many square miles or acres is this place and can you cover the entire area in one day? Also, are there any logging type roads that you have to dodge cars on?

I saw a picture of these guys loading a quad on a car, front wheels on the roof, rear wheels on the trunk, it was a small car, they used a pickup to reload the quad after the ride, just like a loading ramp. This guy drove hundreds of miles to get to his destination. Bill, the T-Bird quad hauler, just think about it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Guess it's time to trade the ole T-Bird in, get a mini van, you can still haul clients around and the blaster and have a vehicle to crash in at the campouts [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

From what people tell me the area used to encompass much of the north side of hwy 2 (endless), but much of it has been closed down (like everywhere else).
Not much traffic,,,just the occasional 4x4.
It is a fairly large area to ride in,,,,two seperate staging areas,,,,,and from what Rod tells me,,,you can also go up to index,,,and you also have sultan just down the road (Im sure they used to all connect.
You would enjoy it Larry,,,,,and yes,,,it can be rough on the quad,,,,but only if you want it to be.

 

Thanks Bing, and rough on the quad, yeah baby, I like it rough [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Nick, I have a Triton V8 in my truck. Plenty of power for me and I can go about 400 on a tank of gas. Anywhere between 12 -13 miles per gallon on a combination of highway and around town. When I have my camper on the truck and am trailering four quads I get about 8 miles per gallon. This is going 70 mph down the freeway. Would probably get better mileage if I slowed down a little, but I want to get to riding as soon as possible.

 

cool

 

Hey Larry,
Reiter won't take a toll on your quad unless you really push it hard. A couple on the trails can get really rocky (BIG ROCKS). The trail up to the top of Index wall is rocky and tough. Worth it though. You end up on top of a rock wall about 500 feet tall above the town of Index. The other rocky trail goes to the top of a mountain with unsurpassed views. It is incredible on a clear day!
I have always ridden it with my 400EX and it has full skids. Need to get a frame skid for my 450R so I can ride to the wall.
The 4X4's usually stay on the steep technical stuff so they are moving very slowly. Not much dodging needs to be done.
It is a fun place to ride. You can even camp up there, no charge, just find a place to park it, and camp.
Let's go for a ride up there soon.
Rod
