Anything new on this ? @motochefarwi @Jason R @RogersW

Thanks for the feedback. Event costs have both declined (since we stopped having catered meals) and risen (from last year). 2021 was $128 and that was a huge decrease from the year before. 2022 was $160 but Owens River CG jacked up camping fees and then we added a silipint and added cost for water/beer since June Lake Brewing isn’t donating kegs anymore. They do only cans now and gave us canned beer in 2021 because they felt bad. Last year that had to be added as a cost. I also ended up short in 2020 when I set the ticket price before I knew the food cost went up. I understand the value perception year to year and catered vs no food. But if you look at other corporate events like ADV Fest at $499 then I think High Sierra is still a bargain. I like the idea of a waypoint competition and if that’s something you’d like to take the lead on then feel free too. I typically have little spare time at the event to track that kind of thing in real time. I have a bit of concern like with the ADV Rally in Julian of people getting in over their heads so maybe we limit it to the easier trails and points of interest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here's my observation. Event costs went up and the amount of amenities provided for that cost when down (catering, shirts, mugs, kegs etc.) Makes it harder to justify for a lot of folks, especially considering the addition of fuel costs to and from. For myself and several other gents that have been faithful attendees but missed last year, coincidentally, we all had scheduling conflicts. I love riding in the area and meeting up with guys I only get to see once or twice a year. The raffle for Motorrad Angels is wicked cool. What about an event refresh to add the "team / waypoint" friendly competition style?

Some fav pics...

That is so cool. I saw some of Arwi’s pics. I wish more riders would try these events. You don’t have to be an enduro champ and you’ll find you’ll have a great time and learn a lot. Maybe make new friends too. Well done!

Sunday was very muddy! Rained the entire day! In my class only 3 other bikes showed up, and I was the only bike to finish. Wasn't enough competition, and my 1st place finish didn't feel earned. Some hill climb sections had worthy challenges, but next year I'll move up a class and do the full 25 mile loop. This is a combination of all red loops riders on Sunday. I did include the electric bikes but note they needed to only race a minimum of 3 laps to make a finish.
