Rigs in the Rockies 2022 National Rally July 7 through 10 Hotchkiss Colorado

Thanks Dana, checked it out on google maps, only 27 miles further going Gunnison  - Montrose - Delta - Hotchkiss, rather than Gunnison - Crawford - Hotchkiss. Will be a shorter time wise going via Montrose and Delta if Crawford is clogged up with construction.

Time to get your rally registration in folks, motels rooms are filling up, plenty of tent and RV camping space available so far. 

Had a comment about not finding where to register for the rally...

Here is the link: https://app.brushfire.com/start

Get your registration in today to be assured of getting a rally shirt. Neat cool design on the long sleeve shirt this year. Long sleeve for cool Colorado days.

That link takes you to the Brushfire login page CCJON. This will take you to the rally registration page, click on get tickets:

Thanks for correcting that. 

Registration is on my computer, it must bypass the log in and go straight to where people need to go to register. 

Folks, to get in on the 2022 USCA National Rally in Hotchkiss,  click on the link in DirtyDR's post above.

See you in Colorado in July.

One other note on the registration page, it seems to want a member number even if you check non-member registration. People have just been putting any arbitrary number including single digit and it takes it fine. I have had a few people mention that, not a big deal since it is a non verifiable entry, just be aware of it.

Starting June 1^st the price of registration goes up $10.00 and we need to get the shirt order in so if you want a shirt guaranteed you need to get your preregistration for the rally in. We are getting close to 100 for preregistration so if you are on the fence now is the time to jump. If anyone has questions please feel free to contact me. If you are just planning on registering at the rally that is fine but let us know so we can get a good headcount for meals, I need to get them the count a week before the rally. We can also order extra shirts for people if we know they are coming to guarantee you get one. The shirts look really nice by the way, I will let Jan post a picture when he has everything finalized.

 Road repair in town is progressing nicely so I am confident it will be completed before the rally. The construction from Hotchkiss to Crawford will still be ongoing so I am not sure what I am going to do for the Poker run, probably a last minute decision depending on road repair progress.

 The extended weather forecast is looking great, low 90s during the day and high 50s at night. Might be a chance for showers on Friday but they should be light and short lasting if they happen at all.

 I will keep updates current as the rally gets closer, we do not have much time left, it will be here before you know it so get those registrations in.

Here you go Dana, fresh off the press...    long sleeve this year for those cool Colorado mornings. 

Wondering if anyone might be interested in visiting the Hotchkiss fish hatchery. It is a very interesting place, pretty sure all they raise here are Rainbow trout though. I will go by and see if I can arrange a group visit with them if there is any interest. Maybe ride over on Friday morning. If there is a lot of interest maybe do a couple of visits depending on how many they want there at a time. It is only a 5 mile ride from the fairgrounds.

Frank & I would be interested in the fish hatchery; one rig-two people.

I will swing by and talk to them about a group visit. I have to run over to Denver this week to visit my mother and pickup my new to me, Rokon sidecar so I will stop by the hatchery after I get back. I am picking up my 17 year old grand nephew also, he wants to spend a month or so with me and also go to the sidecar rally. I paid for him to take the motorcycle riders class and he now has his permit so I can get him up to speed on the sidecars so he can ride his own rig to to the rally. Actually he will ride my K100/EML rig but it still counts.

Mrs. SwampFox & I are registered for the rally, but we are not certain schedules and such will align for us to attend.  If'n so, we'd be interested in visiting the fish hatchery.

The boys and I in the band are really looking forward to this. Not sure what they will do while I'm out riding but at night we will be playing some tunes.

The "boys" will be registered at the rally so they can always hang at the fairgrounds with the rest of us people if they want. If they bring a helmet with them I am sure there are sidecar seats open to go along on some of the group excursions also. You do not need a helmet in Colorado but you do not monkey in my hack without one.
