Getting drunk and being able to walk to your hotel room. That's about it. So, about 60% of the activities.

Hey Fly!

Steve was just kidding there...you won't miss a thing. As close as Frisco is, you just come on up to Copper and the parking structure each AM, and stick around late each PM, and you will get it all in.

Heck, if you take the Friday night and Saturday night rides with us up Mt. Evans (midnight, 14,264 ft, paved, at midnight, nekkid) you will actually get home about 15 minutes earlier than all the rest of us.....

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hello Marlow Main!

Glad to hear from you. As with last year, there will be caravans from StL, KC, Omaha, OK, TX and parts west. Watch for the StL Caravan thread (Doug will probably post it) and see if it works for you to join up these folks...they know how to make time.

Jonathan

Steve, you crazy dude you

Watch our thread on 'Budget Logding at MITMI' and you will find that our budget choices will beat any price you can get at any cheap dive in Frisco or anywhere in Summit County. Good, basic lodging just a few steps from all the activity....but space is limited! We will give you a 'pre' announcement so that you can RSVP early when registration opens up. It will be on or about April 29th or so....

Jonathan

We brought our motorhome last year so we would have a place to leave the dogs during the dinners, but we would like to find something closer and better than Leadville. The campground there was very disappointing, much too far away, and way TOO crowded.

Do the hotels accept dogs? I have three Corgis that travel with me.

I am not sure about the dogs

but when you make your lodging RSVP, be sure to ask that. Keep in mind that your lodging choices will be:
  • The hotel
  • The Condos
  • The budget / discount lodging (special for this year)
When you call, tell them you need accomodations for animals....if they can accomodate, I am sure they will...

Registration will open on or about April 29th....

RV Parking

We brought our motorhome last year to accommodate our bulldog Minnie. We stayed in Breckenridge at the Tiger Run RV Resort. First rate and an easy winding drive.

We look forward to seeing everyone again this year.

Randy and Debbie

Take a deep breath, and repeat after me....

April 29
April 29
April 29
April 29.....

and on and on and on. (Note: Onandon Anon would be a help group for compulsive talkers).

BTW...how was AMVIV?

A few more items

  • The omnipresent water bottle
  • Chap Stick
  • Digital Camera for memories
  • Soft microfiber cloths for touchup
Please note that Ralph Schomp MINI will have their 'Pit Stop' set up this year so that they can help with minor maintenance issues on the spot. God Bless MINI and Schomp.

Oh Man, I'll actually be in town this year, and the Grand Prix is cancelled, so I'll be there!!! Super excited to come. I'll see you there (Shellbell, and hopefully a non-footinfected Renee).

Brad, that's good news.

The other good news is that Ralph Schomp MINI (Shelly, Rene et all) will have the first "Ralph Schomp Pit Stop" to aid and service MINI Motorers at MITM. As you know, last year we had a few boo-boo's and a bit of service will help.

See you there, if not sooner.

Jonathan

That dude would make a killing with all these detail oriented people.
Good idea! We have a couple of guys we work with from time to time who I think would be up for that for sure.

Jonathan- Would you like me to contact a dent-ding and paint chip guy? Or, just let me know if you want some contact info instead.
