Starting Thursday morning, we are planning a drive up the hill from Denver to Copper, with lunch on the way.

edit---map provided by Vinni_MINI---> map link

Here is the plan so far. Meet at 0800am at Detailers Paradise in Denver, www.detailersparadise.com . Heather from Detailers Paradise said she will have some snacks for those that are there, so we can shop and eat at the same time . Richard, OctaneGuy, will also be there. In fact, Richard will be in Denver starting Monday...so for those that want to stop by Detailers Paradise during the week, you will be set!!! Between Nick, Heather, and Richard, there is no better place to get detailing advice!!!!

1745 South Broadway
Denver, Colorado 80210

From there we plan on leaving Detailers Paradise parking lot at 0830am to visit Randy at Webb Motorsports. www.webbmotorsports.com

3911 Norwood Drive
Littleton, Colorado 80125

I figure we would leave Webb and start to head up the hill around 9am or so. The departure time from Webb Motorsports is flexible as it somewhat depends on Randy's install schedule. I know people want to meet him and see the shop, and soak up a bit of his ever popular knowledge!!!! Some people or vendors are taking up big loads, so they have little interest in doing the Western Dragon. For those that want the twisty/scenic drive, I was thinking a driving through Fairplay, then over the pass into Breckenridge...and we can stop there for lunch and some pictures, etc. Then motor over to Copper Mountain which is about 20 mintues from there. Check in, get settled for those looking for a room, maybe wash the cars, etc. Then the Beer swap, then Dinner in Frisco around 6pm so we can hook up with the evening drive around 8pm as they drive by.

Let me know your thoughts, and who is interested in the morning drive up the hill and who is interested in dinner. I will keep a running tally!!!

Thursday Night Dinner at 6pm in Frisco, Backcountry Brewery, 710 Main Street, Frisco, 970-668-BEER (2337)Capped of at 50 people per request of Backcountry Brewery They are reserving a room for us, regular menu, there will be automatic gratuity added, and they said to realize that the kitchen can only cook but so fast, so it will not be possible to put out all dinners at the exact same time, as well as serve the rest of their customers. They are very excited to have us there though!!!! Each party will be responsible for their own tab, food, drinks, and gratuity. Let's be good about this and not stick anyone else with the bill, that is just bad Karma.

blasted ...I meant to put "Thursday Unofficial Events" in the title, but submitted before I could change.

Can a Moderator change that for me? Thanks

Jon

 

John like i said before...I'm in. looking forward it..

 

Tommy, I put you down for both the drive in the AM and dinner I am forcing you to join me for chow in Frisco, haha.

 

Just testing. Does this link show the proposed Fariplay/Breck route? First from Detailer's then to Webb then...

 

I'm down for dinner....
Will let you know about the drive. Depends if I'm needed to help set up @ Copper Mnt. Thanks for taking charge of this one Jon

 

Yup, that is the exact route. Thanks Vince!!!. Do you want to print that up for people? As the list grows we will have a number. If not, I can print it up.

So, are you in on the drive?

 

My pleasure Shell!!

 

Dunno yet if we're in the drive but should know soon. Sure hope so. If so, I'll be glad to print some handouts. Also, maybe I can save it as pdf and attach here.

Only 3 weeks now...

 

the PDF would be cool....then people can print out their own.

I hope you can make the drive...what about dinner on Thursday?

 

Jon,

yeah ill be there for the dinner and the drive. besides the brew swap ill i really don't have any thing else to do. it will be me +1. cant wait to see what you have in store for the car as well....also jon id like to look in to the motoringunderground..talk to you soon...

 

sweet, updated the list.

 

don't know about the morning drive, have to get my daughter's Scion tC up to Copper so Aesthetic Creations can put on some graphcis for her, and then back to Golden to pick up my MINI and return for the evening festivities. So we'll probably do the Frisco dinner so long as the Brewfest doesn't keep us there too long! 1 adult + 1 pre-teen.

 

Hey Jon,
Sign me up for the drive to Copper. My wife will be with me. Unknown about dinner in Frisco tho. Will be at the brewswap.

Regarding the map link, I was able to creat a pdf using Cute PDF Writer, but when attemping to view the file with Acrobat Reader, it brought 3 different computers to their knees. Maybe a Cute problem?? Anyway, anyone who can view the above link should be able to print from there. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if we can still use some handouts! Maybe someone else can create a pdf that works?

 

Thanks Vince....I think right now, we can just have people check out the link for themselves. I am not computer saave, so I have no idea how to create a PDF.

I updated the lists

 

Not sure when we will be coming in from OK. We are kind of planning on coming in Wednesday evening or Thursday morning so put us down for the dinner. There will be 3 of us.

We are getting more excited the closer it gets to leaving. Last year was great.

MINI GRANI

 

I might be in for it! I'm a maybe (+1). Haven't made definite plans, but sounds like a good thing to do! Driving up from Austin (Sat/Sun???) and stopping in at 4 corners before heading to Denver.

 

list updated, give me your names so we can try to remember what to call people outside of their screen names

 

4 corners is nowhere near Denver. About a 7 hour ride from here....

JPS

 

Thanks to gtshnzr for creating a pdf file of the (current) route from Denver to MITM2. I'll attach it here. Let me know if anyone has a problem with the file (my pdf didn't work but I think this one does).

The starting point is Detailer's Paradise at 1745 S. Broadway, Denver.

Time is gettin short!

 

Vince, thanks for that, it worked for me, and I was able to print it up just fine!!!

Wooo Hoo, so excited for the Thursday drive!!!

 

We could possibly join you for dinner Thursday depending on where you decide to go. I'll need to call them up and see if they have any gluten free options on the menu.

So it would be 2 more people.

 

not sure where we will go, I was gonna kinda leave that up in the air, as some people may want to eat something different. There are a ton of places to eat on Main Street in Frisco, but if everyone wants to leave it up to me, I can pick one and make a reservation so we can all eat at the same place, and at the same table, or group of tables.

What are your thoughts on this?

 

It's totally official...heard from Randy Webb, he is totally down with the Thursday morning plan....so, Thursday morning drive is set in stone...but we can change the route to up through I-70 to Bergen Park and hit the western Dragon if that is what folks want to do.....I thing no matter which way we go, there will be plenty of fun and great scenery.
again, let me know what you all think.

Wooooo Hoooo, this is gonna be fun!!!

 

OK, here is my dinner plan for those that need to call and check the menu.

Backcountry Brewery in Frisco, Colorado
710 Main Street
Frisco, Colorado
970-688-BEER (2337)
http://www.backcountrybrewery.com/

Their map they have on their webpage does not show their location. But from that map, the 2 major roads that cross are Main Street and Highway 9 which goes into Breckenridge. The Brew Pub is located on the South West Corner. I believe it is a 2 story place, with plenty of seating. Once I get a better idea of numbers, I will call ahead so they can plan for us to be there.



and here is the dinner menu they have online.
