Ok starting a new thread for this comming weekend. Let's start with day, which day is better for everyone. I can do either day. I can do any time pretty much, but mid morning might be best.

D33PBLUE has a ride he's been wanting to throw out using some back roads like 83 etc. We could even start off of 25 and 470 at the starbucks near the mall. And go from there. I do not know the specifics, but I rode part of it and it was nice, going east, nice long hills hardly any traffic.

 

I'm in for the 26th in the afternoon, i will be out of town till sunday morning/mid day. HWY 83 is good, there are a couple good sweeping turns, and no gravel on the roads yet and a couple long straightaways. The canyon drive last weekend got a little rough with gravel the higher we drove.

I'm in for the 26th.

 

Ok, so Sunday afternoon it is then. Now we can decide on route on 83

 

Oh well...can't make the afternoon...only morning....have a nice ride folks

 

I'm in for the 26th

 

What is the latest in the AM you can do?

DC, what is the earliest in the Afternoon late morning you can do. Let's see if we can compromise....

 

I'm in. May even have an option of cars to drive, cause I know KKA and S-Line both are almost done. just let me know what everyone decides.

 

ill prob be in on the 26th as well...

 

~11:00, but don't change things on account of me

 

I'm in for sure as long as we do it in the afternoon on Sunday. The later the better for me actually as I will need to come home from spending the night in Breck first.

 

I'm in, doesnt matter when.

I can go up North early, meet up with everyone, then maybe 83 South to 86 West, stop for Gas/Coffee/Food then either 83 or 25 North. Its definitely not the peak to peak, but am doing recon for a fun route just west of the Springs.

There is an ok eatery on the south/west side of the road from the Outlet mall, its called Yard House or something like that. LDC probably knows what I am talking about or a better suggestion.

 

eesh the springs? Thats pretty far...we cant do it a little closer?

 

Boulder seems pretty far to the rest of us, yet we have done it. What Chris was talking about is parker road. That is not a long drive, no longer than Boulder and peak to peak and no further, considering how long it takes to get into boulder.

We can pick a meeting point at At Starbucks in Monument. The Starbucks is either 551 Highway 105 or 624 Highway 105. We can then take highway 105 to route 83 which is parker road. take 83 north all the way back to Lincoln. On the way there we c an stop at Roman Villas restaurant or Las Delicias restaurant both in Parker right off of 83 and Main st.(Roman--18701 E Main St # 2, Parker, CO - (720) 842-4760‎). Las Delicias - 19553 E Main St, Parker, CO - (303) 840-0325‎

This should be a fun ride to keep us pout of the mtn's and still have some nice roads, with even better driving potential. I am definitely staying away from the mtns.

Chris, if you were thinking something better but about the same start and end points bring it...

 

You Boulderites....yeesh :-) I've gotten up at 0500 a couple times to meet up in Boulder (and I'd do it again), just means more time to drive :-)

The CoS drive is something I'm planning for the future, wont be this weekend.
The CO83 to CO86 back to CO83 or I25, it's basically a backroads run to Castle Rock then back to Denver, fun drive, but again, its not a peak to peak by any means.

For fun / debuggin, I generally take 83N to 86W and then either back or take 25S to get back home, its fun loop with straights, twisties and elevation changes. I have another local drive, the sceneray is blah, but its perfect for durametric and high speed runs, its out near "Mexico Springs".

Dennis, whatever the plan, do you want to be the meeting point for us SoCo's?

I'm brainstorming a future drive, Im just a participant this weekend :-)
