Talked to the wife. We're in. This will be my first run out with a stick shift locked front and rear. So i'll prob roll on some 2's and 3's. Weather is looking good too.... Charlie, SNAKE is always a good one. Is Rubicon Ridge still a 3 or has it been re-rated? ![](http://s10.postimg.org/u68kelywl/weather_for_hot_springs.jpg)

They leveled out a good bit last time someone flopped on it.. Shouldn't be an issue.. That was one I was gonna have on the list..

We went down Rubicon Ridge to get to Bailey's on New Years and it didn't seem as bad as it used to be. I used to hate that first hill.

That was a butt puckering knuckle grinder. I had my first and only almost flop on that hill my first time at the park. Brakes got too hot or something and started giving out... If it wasnt for that hard wall on the right at the bottom, i'd have rolled. ![:TrainWreck:](//storage.proboards.com/3613987/images/A66Zd2Zo3Pk2ivdpR3KV.gif)

That joker was gnarly.... Theres a creek crossing about 20 min in where rubicon brad flopped one year. Absolute freak occurence too... too much brake and just the right time. If all else fails, get in the ruts... lamo

Charlie don't you take me anywhere I can flop. nothing to worry about on Rubicon Ridge. Just a very long drawn out trail. Michal's way is an option along this trail if you have some confidence built up when you get there. still not bad, just a pretty rutted spot in it that makes you get in the skinny pedal a little, maybe a true 3 rating. But like I said, that's an optional. The rest of the trail is pretty much trail riding if it is dry. If you keep on going at the end, instead of taking the exit, you go to wrangler rock, which can get as interesting as you want to make it.

OP updated with Moose on board and trail list! You guys ready for this??? ![:drive:](//storage.proboards.com/3613987/images/_hU372SAM3tbemvDfVUO.gif) Justin.. I use to beat the shit out of my ride... and take chances that I shouldn't.. But I won't pressure anyone into doing anything they don't feel comfortable with... Just remember tho that we've been doing this for a lot of years and pretty much know what your rig is capable of.. so trust that we won't steer ya wrong and enjoy the ride.. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)
