Looks like it is going to be a smaller than expected turnout.

Small groups arent always bad though, it is easyer to keep everyone togeather.

I am definitely in for this ride! Sounds like a really good one and I've been anxious to go on another one after the Tax Recovery Run!

Sorry I've been so inactive on the forums lately! But I'm finally caught back up with life after my vacation and should be around a lot more often now!

I would never think of doing that Teena.

My car will be done tomorrow, so I might have a little time to even set up a little tune. I cant wait for this ride, it feels like forever since the car even ran.

Tickets are a part of motoring J. It all depends where you go.

Today we drove up Stove Prairie Rd to Poudre Canyon to scout out a picnic area, nice drive even in the rain

See ya Sunday!!

Meet up location

Just in case you're searching for the Starbucks on Google Maps. It's Rubey Rd (not Ruby).

Good to know Rick. I am so ready for this ride. I still have tuning to do, and I will be working on it on the ride.

Just geting her cleaned up for the run. Hey shees sat in the garage not even able to keep juice in her own battery for 2 months, shes a little dirty.

I hope everyone had an great time today, it looked like an awesome day for a ride. I run the Starbucks that you all met at today and it was sweet to see all those MINIs in the parking lot. Mine was the liquid yellow with black stripes MCS sitting all alone, yearning to join all the other MINIs for the ride. But unfortunately I had to make beverages all day. I hope everyone that came in had a tasty beverage and received great customer service. I wish I could have chatted with you all out in the parking lot today, maybe during the next ride.

Nice liquid yellow MINI, I stop at your Starbucks often. Next time try to swing your shift so you can drive.

Thanks Jamie it was a great drive, sorry I had to cutout after PtoP, but I had a nice drive down the hill to Lyons.

I pushed some pictures up to my picasa. Here is a good one!



Lots of new faces and nice people to motor with today. I bet the picnic was good, too.

I'm working on some video clips, new camera and me are learning together.

I may put a video of the Beast (DG's R53) in my album a bit later.

Next ride, hope to see all of you again and a few more.

I even got all the mulch moved, bagged and spread. Now I only have 3 tons of rock to move and spread.
