Some day, explain to us what TrinityBLK means.

Please pick a date for your ride. Sundays work good. Give me a time, place, loc etc and I will send you the ride sheet to prep. Allow an hour for Denver pp to get down, then let's go. Pls pick a place for food, that is always good. and give your ride a cool name.

Let us know when you want, we will put it on the calendar, and we will put the word out...

Thanks,

JPS

 

Did I give my ride a "cool name"...I can't remember.

Try these...
Gods of The Skyline
"High" Way Run
Ride In The Sky

I could really go on forever. Take your pick

Sean

 

is what you decided. I don't know if that is cool or not, but it sure is unique.

Below is the ride sheet Sean prepared for Saturday. Note that ALL the detail you need is there, including his CONTACT NUMBER and meetup details. It is carefully prepared (with Dani's oversight) so that there will be no confusion. Please print this out in advance, and we will bring copies for those of you who cannot.

Questions? Post here or contact Sean directly at the number herein.

Thanks, see you Saturday.

Note the MINI5280 ride this Sunday - "Cruise in the Country" will be coming thru Colorado Springs. We meet in Denver at 11 am, leave at 11:15, and should arrive down at Constitution and Powers (SONIC) about 12:45 - 1:00 pm.

Come on up and join the country ride down or just meet us there. See the ride sheet in our MINI5280 Forum and call me if you like. I can give you an ETA.

Motor On to the Springs...

I would love to but I will be boarding at Copper.

Sean

 

--- school work ---

I'll see if I can make it to Sonic .... it's a short drive. I'll see if I can remember to go too!

 

Would you guys please STOP coming down here when I go up there!

One day I'll get to ride....sniff sniff!

Any way.... Have fun!

 

Just come on up the night before like you and John did before.

I will buy or make dinner. Save you the $$.

But, come out and let us meet you at AutoX at DIA.

Then on Sunday, you are at AutoX at Coors Field (SCCA) too. Well, we have our Poker Run that day and....don't tell....we could make the AutoX one of our stops that day too.

Hmmmm..two in one.

Think of the possibilities.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hello all, need to add another Colo Spgs MINI S - '04 DS/Blk, bonnet stripes, nav, etc. . .spends most of its time on I-25 between COS and Denver - methinks it needs to get out for a fun run to stretch it's legs. We didn't see the Garden of the Gods run until the weekend AFTER the meet - I about died when I saw the photos on the 5280 site - we were so close that day, must have just missed ya. . .

Anyhow, we'll be watching the sites to see when the next COS event is. Looking forward to meeting up with some of you in person!

Keep on motoring.

 

Welcome to Rocky Mtn Motoring.

We actually do have another ride this weekend coming down your way, albeit briefly. Please check out our ride schedule in the MINI5280 calendar here in NAM and in the MINI5280 Forum in NAM also.

To find the calendar, click on calendar on the left, scroll down, jump to MINI5280 calendar, look at the entries and dates. Click them for details.

Hope to have you join MINI5280 and we will keep you in touch and invite you to all events.

Hope to see you out there soon!

Trinityblk & Weeee here. 04 CooperS Inidi Blue ( AKA Weeee)....only identity marker is an orange cone as an antenna accessory. I'm in the southern part of COS but work and play in northern COS and denver a lot so you should see us buzzin in your area some.

Weeee and I also Autocross and drag race so if you would like some info on that sort of fun I'd be happy to share!

 

Jonathan! I like the way you think. I'm all for 2 N 1 deals! Keep me posted. I've got a place to stay that weekend up there already so got that worked out. Just need to do the registration thing for BMW. It's on my list.

 

Trinity/Weeee,

I'd love to get back into AutoX, but I don't think Mama will let her DS beauty touch a track (hence my interest in getting my own MC or MCS soon, but I'd need to sell my Jeep and my quad and trailer to pull that off!)

Gonna have to play it by ear - but we'll definitely keep an eye out for your Blue Sooper Cooper - actually, I think I might have seen you around already. . .

 

It's like they say " If Mamma ain't happy..... No one is happy!". Good plan. I'm going out to play April 23rd ( BMW ) & April 24 (SCCA) for Autocross events. You should come out and look. Rides are free!

 

Hey all,

New Colorado Springs MINI owner here. Well... almost. My baby's on order (gotta wait 'till september! owch!). Just thought I'd say hey and let you know there'll be a new face around in a couple of months.

Glad to have you as a part of the Colorado Motoring Community. A few notes:

www.MINI5280.org is the Motoring Society of the Rocky Mountain Region. You have found us I am sure. We have a very close group of folks called MOTR Minis of the Rockies who are largely a group of Classic Mini owners, but where there are some of us who swing both ways. So you know, MINI5280 has two subchapters, one in Colorado Springs (contact Biggripper right here in NAM) and another in Northern Colorado (contact Johnna right here in NAM). You can find details of events, rides, and gatherings for 5280 and the chapters in the MINI5280 Forum and the Rocky Mtn Forum.

Also note in the left margin the NAM Calendar. Go there, then scroll down, and JUMP to the MINI5280 calendar. We post all events for all 3 groups there. When you join MINI5280 you are automatically a member of the CS and NorColo groups, which do not charge separate fees.

To stay in touch, go to the MINI5280 and Rocky Mtn Forums. Click the button on top to 'subscribe'. What that will do is notify YOU when there are new posts, and you can read them without actually going into NAM. Or you can click the link and come to this site.

Finally, please be in contact with our MINI5280 officers and steering committee. We are:

Jonathan Souza, President@MINI5280.org
