Last weekend 1oftheBoyz and I rode up to Vail and took a little detour to Redcliffe, CO. This is a very senic location with lots of great open road and Colorado history. What we discovered, upon riding down from the bridge at CO Hwy 24, was the old mining town (and soon to become ski boomtown) of Redcliffe. As soon as we made it to the bottom of the hill we turned right and there in front of us were 20 bikes parked next to Mango's.
Mango's is a brand new three story bar. They were preparing for their GRAND OPENING on Saturday, August 5th, 2006. Yep, that's right, this upcoming Saturday! The bar is stylized in the era of the mining town days and yet is completely modern inside (unlike the rest of the town). You really get the feel of Colorado's mining history in this place.
Mango's has a full service bar on every level and a large outdoor deck on top. They will be hosting a band for their grand opening Saturday. They have excellent food, lots of parking both on street and in their lot. Inside, you can find a pool table, fooseball, video and pinball games on the second floor. Comfortable accomodations abound!
So, here is the "inside-skinny". Soon, very soon, the public debate over development of Colorado's newest ski area will begin: Battle Mountain. This will make a total change to the area and now you can still have the chance to see it before it all changes.
We ate, drank, listened to the band and met the locals--all were great! We even met one of Colorado's who has his studio nearby. Stanton Morris' work can be seen in many famous galleries in Colorado and throughout the world. He even invited us to stop by during Mango's grand opening.
Who's in for a great ride up to Redcliffe? More to follow.
