Our 200 Bike Season has come to a close.  Here are some of the comments from riders on both routes:

"Had a great trip...Thanks!  A couple of cold and wet days in the mountains but we all survived and have some great stories to tell!"   B. Zamrano

"Dear SJHS,  Thank you for enabling me and my group to have a fantastic trip between Telluride and Moab.  Your huts were great!  You guys do a great job and are appreciated!"  Vit Babuska

"Thanks for such an awesome trip!  We had a blast!"  D. Phlegar

"Dear Folks at SJHS,  Our trip from Telluride to Moab was the high point of my summer.  It was absolutely as advertised...only better.  Keep up the good work!"  Archie


We would like to thank all riders who used our hut systems this season!

From the Rectanus Group that recently completed the Telluride to Moab Route:
"  Thanks for the Amazing Experience!"

From Dan Lockwood who recently completed the Durango to Moab Route:
"Joe,  We had a killer time on the Durango-Moab route!  Everyone in the crew appreciated the well crafted huts and amply stocked huts."

Rider Patrick Zarrick ,who has completed the Telluride to Moab route 4 or 5 times over the past ten years, has decided to take his adventure one step further...and do both routes back to back!  Leaving the Telluride trailhead on July 5, he completed the route, shuttled back, gave himself one day turnaround time and took off on the Durango Route yesterday!  Happy trails Patrick!

Nikki,

Thanks for the San Juan Huts!  This was, by far, the most strenuous but BEST vacation I've ever had!  I'll be back in 2009 for the Telluride to Moab route.  Tonight I'll start downloading my pictures and writing entries for my bike blog.  I had a GREAT time and was fortunate to have four great companions for the week.

Thanks for everything!  If you ever need someone to direct potential riders who might have questions, I'd be happy to help.

~Chris~
