In Denver for Training

I am in Denver (Greenwood Village) for a training class. Will be here all week. Any one want to motor with a Utah mini owner sans mini? I do have a rental car.
Let me know.

Ryan

I am OOT this week

otherwise I would treat you to a SONIC which is a good thing.

In any case, Jon will take good care. Let's get a crowd.

Wednesday?

I am available Wednesday evening (I get my MCS back from the shop today). How about a burger and a run west. Maybe even a quick dash to 14,400 ft Mt Evans? We could meet someplace and you can park the rental and copilot with me or somebody else, as a suggestion. 03Indigo? PM me and we can exchange phone numbers.

This sounds like fun for sure, let me know if you guys decide when. We'll be glad to visit.

Where are you at in Greenwood? There's a number of us that work in the neighborhood, so we're near. I almost feel bad that there's not a lunch scheduled for this week; then you could see a few more locals.

Let's push for Wednesday night. Some of the other folks on Motoring Underground, in your thread there, have mentioned Wednesday as more available.

Looks Like Rick is also more available that night as well.

As for a place to chow, that depends on where roggenmini will be, more specific than Greenwood Village, and what time he is available, etc.

I say, somewhere with a nice lot for parking and plenty of room for a sit down dinner/time for chit chat, etc. If we can get him down to Highlands Ranch area, LoDo's off of Quebec and 470 is a great place to go and hang, then easy to get to the mountains for an evening drive. Or we could do something simple like a Fat Burger or Sonic, etc.

Lodo's B&G Wed 6:00

Why don't we plan (at least for now) to all meet:
Wednesday, 6:00 PM (I'll be there sooner)
LoDo's Bar & Grill
SW corner of C-470 and Quebec (8545 S Quebec, Highlands Ranch, CO 80126
). Plenty of parking, especially between the restaurant & C-470.

If we don't linger too long, we can make a quick trip up Deer Creek & the High Grade.

Just a suggestion. Chime in!

Rick (got my car back. woohoo!)

Sounds good to me. I am located on I 25 and 7801 Orchard Road in Greenwood Village. If I am correct Quebec is one exit north of here.

Actually, Quebec is parallel to I-25 and the restaurant is on C-470, which is south of I-25/Orchard. You can either go a bit west and get on Quebec and head south. Or you can get on I-25, head south to C-470 West. Exit C-470 at Quebec. Here's a map.

Ryan, are you going to need a ride, or do you have transportation? Not sure I will be able to pick you up.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight

I really wanted to attend, but as the afternoon works its way to a close it appears that my work will not allow me to leave in a timely fashion. Everyone have a good evening, have fun for me too.

Cool Rick. I should be there right around 6p as well. I will be trying to park on the north side of the building, between the building and 470. I'll be driving a MINI
