In! Will probably have a pre - ride set up from the Highlands Ranch area like the past few years for those in this area who want to roll out. Hopefully the weather is as awesome as last year. I'll check tomorrow see if registration has started at the harley dealer at county line next to GPM.

We usually meet up at the Village Inn on Tower and Hampden out in Aurora which is about a 10 minute ride to the Aurora Sport park complex which is where the staging will take place. I'm sure times and what not will be posted within a few weeks so keep an eye out here for that. Some groups do a pre-ride from their areas and into the Village Inn or others just ride solo down there, up to you.

Madvlad thanks for the info. I used to do these every year back in Kansas and am looking forward to this one.

Anyone going from the North? I am in Longmont and wouldn't mind meeting up and riding with some people to the event and back!

No problemo dood, it's a really good time!.... I wonder if the children's hospital that just built next to my work is going to have something similar cause I'll donate twice if that's the case haha

Looks like weather will be chilly for that weekend and dry but doable if you layer up. Just signed up at the harley dealer by GPM yesterday and seems like GPM and few other places as well are signing up people. Make sure if you have a passenger it has to be present with you at the time of sign up or else you're SOL lol

UHATEIT
Wed Nov 20th, 2013, 02:47 PM
it is a tad early to be signing up, but if I remember it was free to sign up so I guess it doesnt hurt. Hopefully the weather will be great like last year when it was something like 60+ when the mid day came around

madvlad
Wed Nov 20th, 2013, 06:14 PM
The Weather is calling for mid 40's so far, hopefully it gets warmer but 40's is doable.

If it ends up being too cold and others want to car pool/cage it, let me know if your in the Montbello, Aurora'ish area.... I got plenty of room in my pick-em-up truck.

madvlad
Thu Nov 21st, 2013, 09:18 AM
I think James' brother will be caging it in his hummer as every year so those who want to cage it instead of riding even if the weather holds out you're more than welcome to join us. You'll just be entering the park to a different area than we will and you'll come into the hospital with the last groups which are the car clubs etc

If it's all Winter Wonderland on the-day-of, I'll be rolling in the Suburban and I have room for... um... lots. Chances for clouds inside the 'Burban will be 100%. :siesta:

Done. Just put this little red sticker on your forehead, so I know that you're pre-registered.

I'm likely to go to this. I'm in Erie so we could meet up!

If it's above 50, I'll ride my bike. Below that I'll just have to bring my integra with the Train horn :twisted:

If it's wet, I can provide rides from the caphill/wash park area.

Would love to... gotta find a job first.

Given that all the out of state people are draining not only our jobs but just filling the state with their stupidity, I'd say that's a long shot lol... I'm wanting to leave cause of all the idiots that are invading us plus changing scene a little bit would be nice, however economies on other states and job stability is sucking something fierce.

Looks like BMW of Denver is your best bet. Right next to Infiniti of Denver and Land Rover on Dartmouth and Havana.

That's awesome. I was thinking they meant the BMW dealership way over in Lakewood. That one off Havana is right by my way home. Thanks for mentioning that. I spaced out for sure.

So, looking at the forecast for Aurora on Sunday, at 8AM, it's supposed to be 1 degree Fahrenheit, and snowing...

Does anybody still plan on riding?

Who's caging it?

Who's out completely, cuz it's just too damn cold (or otherwise)?

I'm definitely still in for breakfast, and dropping a toy or three off. :up:

Does anybody still plan on riding?A friend rode his DRZ in bad weather one year and the officials wouldn't let him in the parking lot, so he just waited down the road and joined in when everyone went past.

I'm caging it. Couldn't get the bike out if I wanted to at this point, plus the subzero temps make my mangina flare up.

If I manage to take it easy during our site Christmas party, I'm in, and will be riding. Believe it was 2 years ago they turned the bikes around, so the few of us who rode had our own little parade. They still doing the little red sticker?

I spoke to Rocky Mountain HD this morning and was informed that, for safety reasons, 2-wheeled vehicles will not be allowed in the Aurora Sports Park.

Not sure if we'll make it for breakfast this year. We might just go to the hospital and drop off toys.

I guess sportbikers don't roll as hard as Harley folks, when it comes to rep'ing for charity. Even the Ruff Ryders had a noticeable presence at the turnout. Oh well... maybe next year.

There's been other years with snow and it was still packed so not sure if the game had something to do with it.
