Colorado Springs Drive

I know the MUTA is coming up, but will not be able to attend. I talked with Intercoolest about getting a local drive going. Intercoolest mentioned heading out West towards Woodland Park, which I am sure would be a pretty good drive. Anyone else interested?

ride suggestion

I mentioned to Jim&Tammy a favorite Motorcycling route, see google map.

At the end of the map (red marker) turn left to return to Cripple Creek or turn right towards Divide / Woodland Park to find refreshments / meal.

Before Cripple Creek & after Victor are fun twisties & great scenery.

This makes a great morning drive w/ lunch stop or aftenoon w/ dinner.

We were waiting for you to get home.(ha) No, we haven't gone anywhere as a group yet.

How was the 4 corners &/or the Arches trip?

MUTA was so awesome. I have pics posted in my myspace, but not sure if a link to that album will work or not. I will get them posted soon. Didn't go to the 4 corners.

No, nothing wrong with it, just the only other "place" I could think of at the moment.

Hot dog place

The only place I know that by the time you get through eating you've spend a great amount of time w/ great people that drive great fun cars on great rodes.

hahnsie, come next June, after the Dragon in NC, after the Springs snow melts in CO.:impatient, we will do the Hot Dog trip just for you, all over again!

Hi All

I am interested in any drives from the Springs. Unfortunately I sold my current 03 Monday and my 07 doesn't come in until Dec.

But that being said the gal I sold my car to seems very interested in the club so when she picks the car up today I will give her the mini5280 address.

Can you all keep me in the loop about rides I would be happy to go as soon as I get my new car
Thanks
Mindy

Did I hear hot dogs?

How about the MINI5280 Coney Island Run, this Saturday from Denver to Bailey? You could even take the really long way (through South Park) and come in from the south and meet us there (or go back that way). See the Nov. 17 entry on the MINI5280 Event Calendar, or click here.

Rick,

Hot Dogs on Saturday has potential. I will have to see if the RMVR feedback session lets out in time.

All I can say right now, sounds good.

I'd love to go a motorin, but if the weather's bad for Saturday, then Sunday would be awesome too. I'll keep me eyes peeled, so count me in for the drive in either case.

Wow, lots of interest. Forecast for Saturday is looking good.

I signed up on the calendar and will watch Ricks posting. Hope to see some of you on Saturday.

Hot dog move photos

If you're curious about how the Coney Island hot dog ended up in Bailey, see the photos from the "move day" (March 18, 2006). MINI5280 members followed the dog from its previous home in Aspen Park to its current home in Bailey. Click for to view my Coney Island Run photos. It was a fun day. Now I'm getting hungry for a foot long dog with chili and cheese!
