Sun Aug 27th, 2006, 09:43 PM
A few of us are planning to head up Stove Prarie road into Poudre Canyon and all the way out to Walden for lunch.

THis is a long ride. 300 miles round trip... more like 350 for you Denver folk.

Meet Sunday at 8:15 am at the Starbucks on 287 and SOuth Boulder road.

Right now the group going is relatively fast, if we get more people we can run a few groups at different speeds...

Post up and let me know.

We leave at 8:30, no exceptions... I hate leaving late, we hit too much traffic.

Count me in for sure. That last trip (8/13) was a blast. Too bad video didn't come out (I don't think the camera liked the wheelies on the way back)

LoL yeah you can call that a brain fart. I must have thought it was too good to be true and imagned it was Saterday. But in light of it being Sunday yes you can 100% count on me being there, unless I'm dead but even then my soul will be there;-p

P.S. anyone heading out there from Aurora feel free to tag along.

Bassil Duwaik & Craigar - We can definately meet up. I'm in SE Denver (Aurora). We could meet at the Shell Station at the Corner of W Coalfax & Kalamath. I know it's a popular meeting stop on Friday/Saturday nights. Say around 7:30? Let me know what you think. ERiC 303.815.5070

Looks like we'll be close... We may be about 30 min ahead of you or so...

30 minutes is more than enough. We could even meet up a little later.

If anyone else is meeting up at the Shell station please post up so I know who to look for before we take off. I'll be riding a black and silver gsxr.

I'll be there Sunday morning but I'll have to break off of Poudre Canyon Hwy at Long Draw Rd before we hit Walden and head south to make it to my Mother In-law's BBQ by 2pm. By the way, does anyone know if Long Draw is paved, or if not what the condition of the road is?

I'll be riding the green Ducati 998. aka torture rack. See you at the shell Sun

Never mind the road report on Long Draw unless somebody knows of any hazards, I looked it up on Google Earth and it looks like 16 miles of dirt before I can meet up with 34. If its passable it should be fun!:shocked:

Hey all, I'm in Littleton and like the sound of this ride. Can I meet up with someone traveling from this area to some me where I'm going?

Schnorbitz; we can meet a Lodo's on E470 / Quebec at 7:00 if you would like.

Thanks for the heads up Boy Scout on the "State Boys" My Bro went to Red Feather to go fishing and he said they are speed trapping "tuners" and "bikes" on the straight aways.

I live in HR also, I'll try to meet you guys at LODO'S (C-470 and Quebec). If I don't see you there or make it in time I'll bomb it down to the Shell at Colfax.

Eric, you know where you're going this time?? You could even get off at 120th and shoot west to 287... SBR is only like 5-6 miles north of that.

If you own a leather jacket you should definately wear it. If you got leather pants wear those too. If you have a 1 piece wear that instead It'll be cooler above 8000'.

Thanks, I'll wear all the gear. Sometimes I hate riding with it because it makes me feel restricted, but hey that's one of the things I like about the cold weather...I can always put cloths on whereas when it's hot I can only take off so much. Moreover, I think my bike loves the cold. See you tomorrow

P.S. do you know about how many riders we got?

Alright I'm trying to get maps just to be clear. I couldn't find S. Boulder road and 287 but I did find W South Boulder Rd, Lafayette, CO.

Here's google maps of locations someone else CORRECT me if I'm wrong.

Not too sure on the location of the Starbucks but if a bunch of us meet at the colfax shell around 7:30AM we should be alright.
