It will likely be in single digit temperatures on Saturday. I'm a bit concerned because I'll have my kids with me. What are the thoughts of the group? As this is a day trip, it would be easy to move it to the 25th. I don't want to be the wet blanket though!

January 24-26th is the snow camping weekend, so I wouldnt be able to do a day snow run, but you could still do that date for any that can’t/don‘t want to do the camping weekend.

Sorry, I forgot the snow camping event was the next weekend. Well- looks like we'll need to bundle up for Saturday! See you all in Rathdrum!

But it's a dry cold. Make sure you and your kids are plenty hydrated, start the night before. Cold weather and elevation makes it easy for dehydration to sneak up on you.

Will do! We grew up in Montana, so we know cold- maybe my greatest concern was tires coming off the bead in the cold at low pressures. Nah- I just had a moment of weakness! :)

When you edit the rally point there’s 2 locations to edit the allowed head count, one is the displayed amount and the other is under the send invites area. You don’t have to send invites but change that number as well and then hit send 0 invites

Wierd- I didn't see a place to modify the invites under "Edit Rally Point". I did add you as an administrator. Not sure where I'm missing it. Amateur here :)

Definitely in... colder the better for me... but yeah worrying about kids is a whole other matter. definitely wouldn't blame you if you called it for them! but a few jetboils worth of hot chocolate and I'm sure they'll love it! lol
