Johnathan,

Can you give some more directions to the meeting place at CU. I have only been to that campus 2 or 3 times.

Thanks,
Brad

Brad,

No problem.

I still like to poke my head in to the mini5280 & rocky mountain forums every now and then, just to see what's going on.

Sound like a great drive.

Maybe ....

Looks like fun! My wife and I have been talking about a little roadtrip to the peach orchards on the Western slope. Maybe we'll be able to hop in on the first part of the ride. I'll work on it.

How about poking your wheels in and join the ride?

Saturday Ride - MINI5280

I have recd communications from 3 pp in Colorado Springs who plan to join. Let's hope the NorColo contingent can come too, for some more dandy photos.

We will be on campus at about 8, then leave by 8:30. Call if you get hung up on Saturday AM...

I'm ready

Coun't me my dog and maybe my dad in. Since I am coming from the Springs, would it be best for me to take c470 around Littleton and get off around Golden and take that way to Boulder. I will need to leave around 6AM so what is the quickest way for me?

You know, Hwy 93 is fine and scenic but

as long as you can get thru the constr. on I25, it may be faster. I will be going that way.

I will plan on bringing Bo, our critter, too. I presume that the park allows dogs on leashes....

I believe Brad, as well as Eva and John, may be coming up from the Springs as well...

I will need to be back into the Springs by 7:00 PM. Will that be possible or will I have to drop out early?

It'd be kind of a long drive for someone who lives in LA.

Yeah, it would be nice if it were easier for me to attend. I do miss the great MINI scene in Denver. Hopefully later this year I'll get back and have a chance to attend a MINI5280 event and see the new Webb Motorsports shop.

I'll have to keep BiD in mind, just in case. I do like the sound of that. :smile:

Giving it a little more thought, I suppose it should be DBiD or DiDBiD.

Hey, do you remember which of the cars in my sig picture is yours?

We will shorten the ride on Saturday

and cut off the Steamboat loop. We'll do that another day. On another note, the www.nps.gov site says:

[size=4]Pets are permitted in Rocky Mountain, but they must be leashed (six-foot length maximum) and attended at all times. Leashed pets are allowed only in areas accessed by vehicles, including roadsides, picnic areas and campgrounds. Pets are not permitted on trails or in the backcountry. They are allowed - leashed - on trails in some surrounding national forest areas. [/size]
[size=4][/size]
[size=4]See you all on Saturday...[/size]
[size=4][/size]
[size=4]JPS [/size]
