He is jealous because when I stayed at his house he begged me to slip him the salami but I told him I don't date older men.

Yup...He begged me for Chorizo and Eggs. I told him I don't roll that way. He cried like a ***** for three days.

The White Rim Trail Garmin files for those interested.
GDB file which has a bunch of other way points and tracks along with the route file.
GPX that has the route file only.

What is the total distance for that loop?
What kind of weather can we expect for the rally?

1) 100 miles. https://www.utah.com/offroad/white_rim_trail.htm
2) Should be warmer than Ontario Province, Canada! Below is weather information from the Red Rock Jeep 4WD Club based in Moab, UT.
Q Weather?
A You can find out the weather as predicted and followed by the Weather Channel online at https://www.weather.com/ - type in Moab Utah or the zip code which is 84532. But in terms of specifics, Moab is one of those places where the weather changes from each trail location and potentially several times throughout the day.
Elevation runs from an in town range of 4000+ feet, to the upper mesas in the 5000 plus range, and the La Sal mountain range offering even higher elevations with peak points topping out over 11,000 feet!
The region tends to be dry - not humid, but spring time rains and even snows are familiar to those who've attended the spring events in past years.

100 miles, like Don said.
Weather wise, it's the same all over the southwest: Could be cold, possibly hot. Chances of rain or not.
What's funny is that's as accurate as any weatherman ever is. Anyone know where I got that weather forecast? I'll buy a beer for the first correct answer.

Sometimes HotRodZilla says something making me believe he does have a couple of brain cells in his head, because he's indeed right about SW weather.
huron52, this Jeep Promotional Video was shot last Easter Sunday at the Jeep Jamboree and I don't see a lick of snow on the ground, but it's damn cold!

I'll be carrying one gallon of extra gas for those with stock tanks. I think this ride (White Rim Trail) should be good for anyone with the motivation to complete it. We will not leave anyone behind and laugh at ourselves if/when we fall down. Everyone should be pretty self sufficient or pair up with others so that you make a team that can repair a flat or otherwise get your bike out. If you need a buddy let me know because I'll probably need one too.
If it's anything like riding in the high-desert it can be real cold in the morning, hot mid-day and cold again in the evening. A little rain or snow is no big deal as long as it doesn't flood or stick. Hard to dress for other than layers and have a way to stow the gear you shed. We'll make sure everyone understands the forecast as we know it before leaving. If the weather is crap a trip to the dunes might be plan B.

I need a buddy. I don't have lots of off road experience but am excited. I will have a pump and plug kit with me.
