MITM3 is scheduled as you note. Signup will begin, formally, right here in NAM on or about June 1, 2008. At that time we will open up for:

• Event Registration
• Lodging Registration
• Volunteers (mostly MINI5280 folks)
• Swag
• and more.

In the meantime, Rick or I can answer any and all questions that you may have about the event. We do know and can tell you the basic agenda at this time:

• Wednesday, August 6 - Setup party begins at Copper Mountain Resort CMR at 5 pm. Pitch Tents, bring supplies, maybe an ice cold beverage. No formal events this evening.
• Thursday - Scheduled rides all day long. Dozens to choose from. Dinner hosted by the R50 Owners Group and will be informal, at 2 or 3 locations in Frisco proper. Vendors all day at Copper.
• Friday - Scheduled rides all day long but the big ride, and the one we recommend, is to Rocky Mountain National Park. Dinner is at Winter Park Resort (not Copper) under the tent, outside. Evening ride after dinner is either up Mt. Evans (14,246 ft, paved, at midnight, nekkid) or back to Copper. Vendors all day at Copper.
• Saturday - same as Friday. Dinner at Copper Mountain Resort, gifts, giveaways, prizes, auctions, and more. Vendors all day. Midnight ride up Mt. Evans to view the Perseid Meteor Shower.
• Sunday...breakfast in Frisco. Event adjourns.

Please POST with any further questions you may have. We will give all a heads up on when we will open our registration.

Thanks,

Jonathan Souza, organizer

Please send me a PM right here in NAM with the following if you wish to volunteer:

• Full name
• Cell and email addresses
• Days you wish to volunteer
• If you have a special talent

Generally, we have volunteer groups for:

• Checkin and hosting the event tent
• Leading rides (of your choosing) as they are all mapped out
• Dinner logistics, decoration, etc.
• Miscellaneous

As for lodging, you will be given a discount code with CMR and about 15 lodging options depending on your budget. We will also (again) have our famous 'Budget' lodging option which is basically a dorm room in the resort. Suitable for sleeping and showering, it is basic. But then, who needs more than that?

Thanks for asking and offering. We will all have (yet another) blast!

Jonathan,
Can't wait, sounds great! And thanks for the info,. Just found out about your other thread "MITM3 Coopers Return to Copper!" - so I'll keep an eye on that one as well.

 

Count us in too! I already have it blocked on our calendar. This year I'm hoping to find some staff coverage in the store so Nick can join us for the fun too.

the car wash is yours.

What else will we need down there this year to make you comfortable?

JPS

 

Probably a sign telling me limit my washes to one per day!

 

I think Chuck needs a wash tub for his cabrio. That way it (and he) can soak for a few hours instead of just getting a quick shower...
Rick

 

We should be there.

Stevie and I will be up there for the 2nd year in a row...we're totally stoked for MITM3. We had such a great time last year and look forward to seeing every one and meeting all the new people!

 

Jennifer and I will be back this year! Missed last year due to 5 year anniversary vacation...

 

Excellent! We look forward to providing supplies and a retail tent again this year. Glad that you will have us again.

I can't think of anything we would need off the top of my head. Last year worked out just great! Thanks, as always, for asking.

Heather,

Will you be taking pre-orders for gallons of your wonderful products again, with pick up at MITM? I should need to sock up by then.

Thanks
Marlow Main

When is the estimated date for registration this year? This year I don't have to split my time between Minis and Wings. Yippee

 

allright! this time ill actually have a mini so i can go

 

expect registration stuff to start in June, that would be my guess.

 

giving us 60 days to take orders, then about a week to get production shipped here - tshirts, license plates, etc.

This year, there will be some info in NAM but registration will happen at the new, dedicated, MINIs in the Mountains website...

Hi my wife and I just purchased our first mini, we wanted to attend the rockies event, is there camping close to the event?

thanks

 

Check at www.summitcolorado.com (the resort and the event are in Summit County) and anything at or near Frisco, Dillon or Silverthorne should satisfy your needs. Camping spots are at a premium up there, and the closest that I know is the Frisco Marina area on Lake Dillon. Check it out.

Dillon's 344 campsites accommodate tents, pickup campers, RV's, and trailers. All campgrounds have a drinking water supply. Camping is allowed in designated sites only. Most campgrounds are provided by Forest Service. Reservation number: 1-877-444-6777.

Congrats on the purchase. 5280 is a fun and passionate group of people. Post some pics of your new ride.

 

thanks all,,the wife and are enjoying it greatly, she drives it one way and i tear it up the other. quite the machine.

 

Hi All, There will be several MINI's from STL area again this year. Love CO. Motor On, Dan

 

Stl MINIs can visit us in Denver on the way up there. We moved from StL three years ago and would love to have the road weary travellers over at our place for some cold drinks.

 

There'll be four of us motorin' down for Seattle for this one. Lot's of twisties along the way! I too am looking forward to booking my reservations sooner rather than later so information on where to stay would be good.

Thanks,

 

I've requested the time off, so count a Montana as represented at least once.

 

Somewhere I think I've seen evidence that MINI5280 has printed and distributed among its members cool MITM3 posters of the event announcement (illustrated in Post #1).

Any chance that these could be made available to some of us out-of-area folks for a nominal fee? I'm sure many of us would love to assist in your outreach efforts. Please post ordering and pricing details if this is possible.

See you in August!
