I'm in its a long drive, but why not. I might need to check for E85 stations in Canyon city, or just take my computer and switch back to regular gas on the way home. Its also in the neighborhood of my other house, is stopping by a possibility?

It is a great ride. Deb and I can't make though. Cripple Creek has their annual Donkey Derby/street festival on 25/26th. Could be backed up in town. Enjoy the ride.

I always thought that was Skyline drive, but had myself convinced that maby it was another road. I have been going up there since I was a kid, it's short but cool having nothing on either side of the car.

I have a rider / camera opperator coming along. Gary of BoosTec the importer/distributer of the Sprintex S/C, will be tagging along in my car to shoot some video for their website, and take some pic's aswell! Peak Eurosport is also coming along with Chris's shop demo car, which has a few new upgrades as I understand it.

So this is going to be a good ride for us, a manufacturer, and a vendor taging along, just for a normal ride. Maby it's just me, or is MINI5280 getting a lot of bigtime recognition lately?

Cant wait for MITM '11, oh yeah I still need to register.

I'm going to grab a lunch and come south. I'll meet up with folks at the castle pines intersection at about 7:00 or so. see everyone there. hopefully, our friendly state patrol officers on I-25 won't say hello like they did on the last run.

Know before you go

Be sure to bring: camera, lunch........... chairs & radios if you have them.

The Northies will meet @ I-25 & Castle Pines, the first gas station on the right hand side around 7:30ish, I would like to leave promptly at 7:45 AM to meet up with the Southes @ Starbuck's in the Springs.

I have maps and I will bring extra chairs.

See everyone in the morning

Jamie

Ya I've been doing a lot of driving this week, getting it to run on corn.

$3.09 a gallon for 110 octane E85, loving it.
