Moving to Colorado

We are relocating to Fort Collins, from Fort Worth, TX at the end of June. I can't wait to get out to meet everyone. It looks like you all have a lot of fun!

Hello Starsky, and welcome to Colorful Colorado!!

Where is it you are coming from? We like to welcome newcomers with:

- A hot, home cooked meal
- A paddle
- A new jar opener and a rubber thing to open bottles
- A big group ride in our MINIs, for picture taking that you can then send back to your friends in wherever

Well, we do the ride part, anyway.

Please post here and let us know when you are first available. Since we now run 3 groups in one (MINI5280, MINI5280 Northern Colorado Motoring and MINI5280 Colorado Springs Motoring) we all want to call a GTG in your honor.

Please post some dates here, I will organize a ride, we will stop by the house and GET you, and we will take you to some of our favorite roads.

Thanks for the heads up!!

Read the message, dummy

It does say Ft. Worth...

BTW, I am sitting on the Bank of the Guadalupe as I write this, sipping a cold one watching many of God's Little Zoo just float on by.

Greetings from Groene, TX.

We have made it!

Can't wait to see some other MINI owners, I have seen lots of MINIs.
BTW - I LOVE that the owners here wave and return waves.

Sounds like it is time that you got

a new MINI5280 window sticker on your car. To do so is easy: Please contact

Rick Gonzales Membership@MINI5280.org and he will make the arrangements.

BTW, these are now the OLD MINI5280 stickers - the ones with the block letters that transfer - and not the NEW 2004 version with the white background. For some reason, these latter were not as popular so we got the OLD ones back and you can now get yours.

Thanks, see you soon at one of our events. MINI5280 monthly meeting (absolutely NO business, just SONIC) next Tuesday night at Schomp....

Welcome! My husband and I just relocated to Loveland a year ago; this a great area to be in. Let us know if you'd like to get together sometime, and maybe we'll see you at a MINI event at some point as well.

Jed,

We stopped by Whole Foods after the ride to Bishop's Castle but we couldn't find you.

Welcome [from nearby Longmont]

Hi and welcome to Northern Co!

I am justg a bit south of you in Longmont. I ride up to Estes nearly every weekend [the extra fun way, via Rt7]. I would highly recommend the little loop off HW34 called Devil's Gulch Rd. It's a 25 minute 'back way' into Estes off the 34 Highway.

If you want to get together for a two-MINI run some weekend, please let me know!

cheers,

Rob Clements
Longmont, CO

Now THAT sounds good to ME!

Rob, would you like to host a ride up the way you describe later this month? Maybe Saturday the 13th or Saturday the 27th...starting about 11 each day or so?

If so, PM me your personal email and I will send you the ride sheet to fill out and post for attendees.

Thanks, it sounds like a great route!!
