I like to get out to SB at least once a year. There are other good rides up there that don't require a shuttle. I say leave it up to GDT to lead a Taos ride. As far as Friday, I would be willing to lead a group for a REM romp and those that can't make it that early can meet E for the East Fork/Battleship ride. Heck we might be able to spill over from REM? Saturday is definitely reserved for LA. Lift assist for a half day and maybe a Pajarito Canyon (the one E and I attempted a few weeks ago) ride to top it off.
I would love to see GITA continue and will do my best to make it back to NM for the fun!
I would also throw out there, one of the best things about the original GITA's was everyone did the same ride. Sure it was a small group then, but it was super fun to just go out in the woods ride our bikes, then hang out and lie and laugh about the days activities.
I would also vote for a second ride in and around Taos. I *know* there is more than just SBT.
There is more to it than SBT, but it is sooooo classic
I even have some friends in CO who have never done this ride (shame on them...) so I may have to stick with the original plan and get them on that trail!

Ture SBT is classic and can't be missed. We should plan to ride the route Jim Beam showed me from the Wagon Wheel. All the single track from the "top", bonus ST on the climb, and only a 20 min shuttle!!!! :thumbsup: (yes it's a bit more effort, but I'm the low lander, now)
I was implying a second day in Taos, not to displace SBT from the must rides.
So what is the ride schedule going to look like? I would like to ride some form of the SBT that Friday of the proposed dates and then head over to paja for Saturday and whatever for Sunday. Just thought I'd put that out there.
I know lots of folks live there; but those of us driving; is anyone interested in camping? How about a partee? The ski hill is having their Urll fest on Saturday, so there will be a festival at the lodge: Fall Mountain Celebration Beer Tasting Live Band.
I know planning this this is semi-difficult, but those who want something; voice your opinion!

I'm a definite maybe! Just gotta get the vacation days reserved from work... Drive out Thurs, ride Fri-Sat-Sun, return Monday? I have a new DH bike so want to ride Pajarito whatever day(s) it is open. Would also like to do SBT just cause I never have and I hear it's pretty darn nice. And that trail that Jen busted open her leg on two years ago, and Joe and notanob hiked back out with us... can we do that one again??? No ER visits this time...
In truth though, I'm open to whatever. Parties are good. Camping is good (I'll have my dogs). Beer is good. I'm easy
Whoot! Lookin forward to it! I'll try to round up a few more...it is fun, fun riding there.
