Hey all-Has been awhile since I have been on the Forum due to recent move and all the Projects I have had on my plate..

Starting to think about all the GREAT Yamaha Riding Events we have had over the past 10 years or so... from  begining at Moab- to California- back to Utah, Colorado- Arizona and Eureka Springs, AR.... all were amazing 3 to 4 day riding events that delivered everytime!

So.. been thinking about maybe putting some plans on paper to get something organized for this year...

Likely late Summer and or Early fall...Locations considered-Utah- Beaver or Moab- Colorado- Ouray / Silverton Area-  Arkansas- Eureka Springs / Ozark Country-

We have been to all of these areas multiple times and the riding is Incrediable!   and our core guys continue to talk about the great memories and the beautiful rides we did.

Anyway- just looking for some feedback here and if anyone would be intetested in this... we have plenty of time to figure out timeframe and location taking into consideration of your time off from work and or life responsibilites that would allow you to attend.

Talk it up here and we will see where this idea goes-

Greg, it would be good to see you again, but Arkansas is probably a bit too far for me to go. Let's see what others say.

Hi Greg,
WOW!!! I am so very happy that you have returned to the forum AND are planning enduro rides like the old EnduroFests! The EnduroFest ride that you and Dave Meis put together in Ouray, Colorado was one of my all time favorite rides! I truly wish that I could join in on future rides. Riding the trails with you and the other forum members was much more than exciting………those rides were extreme thrills and super great memories for me. Unfortunately, my trail riding days are now over (old age). And my wife and I are now spending a lot more time traveling around Europe, we will be there again in several weeks for a 26 day trip.
 To all of the forum members:  Greg knows how to put together fabulous riding trips!! So, if you can join in then do it, don't miss out.

Personally, even though I would not be able to attend.. I would be thrilled to know that you’re considering stepping up where the Incredible Dave Meis left off.

Proud to hear and read the Enduro Fest will continue on the Trail..

I'm in west-central Arkansas and I would love to be a part of an event for our beloved Enduros. Arkansas is a great location for this event because we're more centrally located. The Ozarks are rural enough to provide adequate off-road trails but they're not so rugged to be too challenging for mature riders on 50 year old machines. I don't know where most of the potential participants are located, but if a great many of them are west coast, perhaps Utah would be a better choice. I wouldn't hesitate to drive 1100 miles for the chance to participate in an Enduro event. Count me in wherever it is! (I have an RT3, two AT3's, an AT2M and an HT1B that is my pride and joy)

Replied by HouseofEnduro on topic Possible planned Yamaha Enduro RIding Event- 2024?

Hey Greg,
I appreciate your idea and effort in putting together an Enduro get together in 2024. I had assumed over the past couple years that my first Endurofest in Beaver, Utah back in 2021 was going to be the only one - I'm happy now to see that the spirit lives on. Being in Los Angeles I would make the journey to either Beaver or Moab, both absolutely beautiful places and well worth the drive. My riding abilities were limited in 2021 and are certainly even more so now, but I can do the easy to moderate rides and enjoy them all. I'll check back on this forum more regularly now that this is a possibility again!
