Registration opens thursday. Breakfast meetup again this year?

[madvlad]

In! I'm assuming we'll be meeting at VI on tower as usual. I'm most likely going to post up a pre-ride meet up (weather permitting) for people in the Littleton/Highlands Ranch area and then roll up to Aurora as usual.

[darkwing duc]

Sounds like a good cause. I'm game.

[Penadam]

NOOOOOOOOOOO! Still going to be out of town. Was it this early last year? I was super excited cause I had knobbies and heated grips all ready to go. Was ready for more weather like last year.

[madvlad]

Its usually the first weekend of December as far as I remember.

[UHATEIT]

I'm down for this. Hopefully good weather at the time

[salsashark]

I'm full of bad feels that I'm not going to be there this year...

Have fun all. It's a great cause!

Even Masochist Sponge Bob enjoyed it...

[madvlad]

I stopped by today to register and they're not registering for this yet, I asked when they'd be starting and no one knew lol :wtf: ... I assue within the next week or so they'll be ready along with other local dealers

[Penadam]

Just looked at flights, considering flying back for this...

[asp_125]

Registered! :up:

[madvlad]

Gotta stop by after work here in a few and register. Did you do it at HD Jefe?

[asp_125]

Yup. The one on county line. There was some confusion as to stuffed toys - as long as they are new with tags attached, they will be allowed.

[madvlad]

Sweet, thanks! Stop by monday and do that then plus some toy shopping!

[asp_125]

Bump..

Go get some black friday deals on toys and show up!

[madvlad]

Forgot they were closed monday so stopped by today, thankfully I work 2 mins away lol

[DemonRider]

Registered !! Thanks for the heads up

[DK74]

I think I might join this one..... Registered at mile high HD today.

[Penadam]

Boss decided I needed to go to LA this week for a meeting and told me to spend the weekend back home, so I'm in!

[swademaster]

I'll be there again this year.

[madvlad]

All shopped up for this! A week away doods and dudettes, here is a link for the toy list:

[MileHighCritic]

I will be back in town from business this weekend. Where is the southside Littleton\Highlands Ranch meeting up and what time?

Looking forward to riding with the group.

[UHATEIT]

So the entry fee is a new unwrapped toy, do you just drop that off at the dealership and thats it? Is there an actual toy run cruise by chance? I havent done one of these so I was curious

You go register and they will likely give you a bandana or something similar. Then you go to the designated meet area the morning of the run, wait in a big staging area for a while, and then ride for the staging area to the hospital on Colfax as a long group. You drop your toy off at the hospital. If you can't make the ride, then you can leave the toy at a HD dealership.

You just go to a participating HD dealer to sign up; basically sign a waiver and they give you a sticker that goes on the headlight or windscreen of your bike. Come to the breakfast meetup and ride to the sports park with the rest of us to the staging area. If you aren't in a group they'll just stick you anywhere, surrounded by a sea of HDs and leather vests. At Children's Hospital they have a drive thru drop off, or you can park and walk into the lobby where they receive the toys.

Thats what I was figuring. The HD link just says the times for the registration and it is a toy. Sounds like a good event/run. I thought I saw somthing about there being a list of specific toys someone posted, unless any toy is fine and is there a price desired? Probably a $20 toy

Sorry for the many questions. When I sign up do I bring the toy and give it to the HD place or so I hang onto it until the ride to the Hospital. Reason I ask is because if I dont have to bring the toy this weekend to sign up I will just go to the HD place and sign the waiver and bring the toy next weekend for the event

Just go sign up, no toy necessary until the ride. And it's THIS weekend (12/2).. not next.

[UHATEIT]

Got my toy for the kids last night. Need to figure out how to mount it to my passanger seat with something.

[madvlad]

bungy or if you have a backpack that's what most people use

[DiddysR6]

Going to try and register after work today. hope I'm not to late. any word on a meetup place for us southern folk ? haha

[birchyboy]

Went and picked up a bunch of stuff. Now I need to figure out how to put a big bag of toys and stuff on the bike along with the wife.

[UHATEIT]

[ssutton21]

[Cap'n Crunch]

In for breakfast and the toy ride! Should be a nice day to deliver some presents.

:up: I was convinced the toys I bought would fit my backpapck but they won't so I'm putting those on my buddies truck (he's meeting with us tomorrow along with his brother and dad) and I'll be taking the small stuff with me. Going to be a good day!

[Cap'n Crunch]

Right on! I'll be + a couple of more people as well. I gotta run out east and wake my buddy up in the morning, but we should be there by breakfast. See everyone at breakfast...

[madvlad]

Cool beans, I also gotta wake up a few sleep ins haha. See you guys, girls and kids in the am!

[burnn88]

Looks like I will be able to make it out tomorrow, pending any setbacks.:up:

[mdub]

It's all for a good cause. But I will never participate in such a cluster. Just got back from a nice 5 hr ride with a cpl of others. Very nice today.

[salsashark]

It's actually an extremely organized affair.

You'd be amazed at how well they move everyone through the park and the hospital.

[madvlad]

It was extremely organized, no crashes or anything and man there were a ton of bikes. The current record got blown off today. Amazing day, great seeing you guys! I'll have pics posted later

[mdub]

Right. Last time I participated in something similar was st Patty's. that was the last. It's just me.

[madvlad]

St Pattys is a parade bro, obvious.... This is way different, don't knock it till you try it.

[swademaster]

The current record got blown off today.
Did you hear how many bikes were there today? One of the first years
I rode there was over 10,000.

Hey if you have fun doing such a thing good for you bro....

[madvlad]

Just saying and suggesting, calm down. You do what you do

[mdub]

Calm Dwn???? I just did over 250 miles today I'm pretty calm. Actually tired.

[Jmetz]

I hear ya. It actually was a very smooth affair. Like butter. I was impressed with how well it ran.

Not a for sure number, they were saying 8,000 but don't take my word for it

[UHATEIT]

Great turnout and a fun event. I would like to have joined for breakfast but I am not a morning person and couldnt get up that early. Well organized!

[psyclone]

Y, I agree, the organizers did a really good job

[MileHighCritic]

Great riding with everyone yesterday. Despite my missing key fiasco, loosing my scarf down the rode and missing coffee mug it was great riding with everyone. :)

Have a great upcoming holiday.

[asp_125]

Good showing.. I think the final count there were 31 of us.

[darkwing duc]

It was great meeting everyone. You all got some good pics too! Couldn't have asked for better weather.

[WolFeYeZ]

Did anyone lose a ipod shuffle on the run?

[madvlad]

Here are some pictures, nothing great but better than none. It was a great time indeed and just perfect weather for the event.
