Come to think of it, while uploading the video, it did ask me if it was "general" content or "adult". I didn't think anything of it at the time. Front page says that it is a site to store videos for sharing with friends and family, so I ran with it. The only problem with the site in general is that there are lots of ads, they can be kind of annoying. But again, free (to me) file hosting, so I won't complain too much.

Hope I didn't get anyone in trouble.

I'm going to get some details to Rick and Chuck today or tomorrow for distributionon the various sites. Please consider joining us at 10 am on the 21st for the run.

Do we have a google map of the ride? It looked like some kind of map on the video but too small to see well.

No trouble. Here the IT Gestapo even prohibits me from getting to my Yahoo email.

I don't have the full ride (turn by turn) compiled yet, but I have just sent PMs to Rick and Chuck with information for the website and calandar. Heck, you know what? I'm going to put it here too. You heard it here first folks.




M is for MINI



Rough timeline on 6/21/08:
10:00 am - Begin arriving at starting location
10:15 am - Leave starting location
12:00 pm - Arrive at Centennial Cone Park for tailgate/picnic lunch
01:00 pm - Leave park and get back to the twisties (optional to finish off the canyon)
02:00 pm - Possible photo op and/or stop at the Wondervu Café (giftshop and sweets)
02:30-03:00 pm - Arrive at final destination
After 03:00 pm - Being close to the mountains there are still a bunch of twisties at hand, so if anyone wants to consider additional roads, feel free. Everyone can decide what’s best for them and head their own ways from here.

Or at least that’s the rough idea. We’ll see how it holds up, I’m no travel ****.

Starting point is in Golden near the base of Lookout Mountain; come fully fueled, coffee’d, and ready for a good time. Get onto 6th Ave from North or South of Golden and proceed to the middle. Go West at the light for 19th St, and proceed up the hill. After the third street there’s a long stretch of shoulder, we will line up on the North side of the street (between Smith and 19th says the map).

START map here

I will provide a hard copy of the driving instructions at the meeting location. PM me if you have to have them in advance for some reason, I should be able to accommodate before the 21st. Oh and if you’re one of those people that can’t be without $tarbuck$, the four closest locations can be found HERE.

The most important thing to remember is that we’re having a tailgate/picnic lunch at our midpoint. There are NO FOOD SERVICES anywhere near here, so you need to bring your own food/drink. There are no electric/water services either, but there is a port-a-potty. The stop will be at the North trailhead for Centennial Cone Park; more info on the location can be found through http://openspace.jeffco.us. The brochure that I have in hand says that pets are allowed, but must be leashed and cleaned up after. So if you want to bring your pets, this will be a fine time to do so; they just won’t get to go running around the open space (3,369 acres I’m told). The brochure also has a number listed to report bear and lion sightings, so keep in mind that we’re on their turf. If weather turns bad, I’ve got a backup plan for lunch at a restaurant, but that shouldn’t be a problem.

That’s all the information for now. If I’ve overlooked something or there are questions please let me know. I shall do my best to answer them.
