Kiltlifters, as Car Bombs are also known, are welcomed as well…

Keep it up, K. I'll spike your warm milk that you always drink at bedtime. And your cookies, too.

Aww, you care!

Irish Car Bombs are for woosies who can't shoot whiskey.

What's a woosie? Is it painful?

Excellent...a place to ask some basic questions.

1 - Generally how long (time) does it take to travel the trails? I'm signed up for : Alpine Loop, Imogene Pass, Ophir Pass.

2 - Is any food/lunch provided during the trail rides?

3 - I notice many FJ'ers with gas can mods. Is extra gas needed other than a full tank to start?

Sorry for such newbie questions!

Thanks

Alpine is long. Plan for a whole day. Bring lunch and snacks. Imogene is not nearly as long, maybe 4-5 hours if I remember correctly. I'm not sure about Ophir.

You can do Black Bear or Imogene to Telluride, have lunch with the rich and famous, and come back on Ophir in the afternoon. Very nice indeed!
