One of our astute members / readers Jayme Harris (MINIAC, and yes, she is back) alerted me to this late last night:

• The www.coloradoconclave.com site notes that you MEET for the Ride the Rockies today, at 8L30 to register etc at MEMORIAL Park in Arvada (8001 W 59th Ave). There is NOT a map to this site in the Conclave website, but it is just N of 58th, E of Kipling, W of Wadsworth. Behind the MUNI buildings, there is a parking lot, that is the target.
• The www.coloradoconclave.com site DOES state that we meet at Memorial Park, and the ride begins at Oak Park. This is west of Memorial Park, across 58th to Kipling, N to Ralston, NW to Oak, then N to 65th.

My guess is that they will just send us from one park past the other and that is where the official directions begin...it was so last year if memory serves me.

Anyway, if you get to Oak Park and nobody is there, find a Brit car and follow them to Memorial Park. It is S and E of there....across 58th.

The cross street off 58th is Balsam, take it 1 block N to Memorial Park from 58th.

Good Luck. Look for us.
