I typed a response and it didn't post... megafluffnuggets!

Sam and I will be popping to Calgary as Sam knows a mechanic there who can service our bikes! We will then be coming down via Wyoming and then across Salt Lake City...

.... so in short... would you like two smelly visitors at some point end of next year?!!

We know you heart the off roading so if you're up for it we could go have a day or two of that considering you know the areas?! Whaddya say!?

Other news - things might be getting bigger than we expected! We knew the campaign were interested in filming our training to put snippets on websites and potentially put a bit on a tv show they're doing loads of other stuff for... but now... they're kinda looking into putting together a whole series on just Sam and I.

Blimey gov! Heh. If it pulls off (big if) it would be fantastic as it would mean more coverage for our charities and more sponsorship! The whole TV thing though... eak!

KTM is still in the running although not holding our breaths knowing how tight they can be (fingers fingers crossed). They've now thrown into the ball game BMW's and Yamaha. The Yamaha not only looks like a transformer but is a BEAST. As in... BEAST! It's heavy as. Later today we're going to go have a peak at them again in Bristol as my memory is a bit foggy over them.

KTM would be ideal, but we shall see what happens, we won't be ungrateful either way!

Will know more in 2 weeks! Whoop whoop!

I'd love to show you around a couple wheeling spots!! I know of several, and ones I don't know of my buddies in the Utah Jeep Crew will certainly know of more. Hopefully it would be early enough in the year to be able to do Skyline Drive before the snow closes it.

And as for temp roomies, I hope you're not allergic to cats...

[EDIT] Oh, and as for going through Calgary, wish I was heading there, too. Several of my Canadian military friends live in that area. Would be fun to see them again.

Good luck with it! All sounds very exciting

Kell_ee001 · 20-09-2011, 21:13

Glad to hear it's still all on track!

Pheebs · 20-09-2011, 23:01

Isn't the Skyline Drive on the East coast? (Potentially being daft here!)

We've been watching Mondo Enduro and it's certainly getting us excited!

There's a production meeting coming up soon... will be interesting although not getting too hopeful! We'll keep you updated!

Thanks for all the comments guys, you're mega

I do believe there's quite a few Skyline Drives around the country. But the one here is the only one that you can see the entire Great Salt Lake from.

Check out post number #5 in that thread for some pics of a similar location.
