hey cathy, my son and i will be going up on saturday...

[mtnairlover]

Cool! I'm sticking around Loveland on Saturday, since my youngest is having her b-day party then. Probably gonna head down to PPIR as soon as I can rouse myself outta bed on Sunday morning, though. I'll search for ya on Sunday, but don't think we've been formally introduced...you'll have to flag me down;-)

[chad23]

got the message, I'll talk toCat and see what she says, but for now it sounds like a good idea, I'll get with you later about it

[mtnairlover]

Okie dokie

[ChrisCBX]

Cathy,

My wife and I are going to ride down, weather permitting. Let us know what time you are leaving and we can meet up somewhere.

[crazyhammer10]

[mtnairlover]

Cool, Calvin.

I'll post up places that we (the caravan) can stop along the way south on I25 on Sunday, to pick up those who post here.

we will definately have to meet soon then- my name is shahira- didn't get too creative with my board name...haha....
i will see if i can change plans and go on Sunday- I would love to ride down with you and some other folks!

[mtnairlover]

It's looking like the weather will be just a tad on the chilly side on Sunday, so for now, I'm planning on caging it. I've got room for 4 other peeps (marshmellowy, sweet and soft types), so if anyone feels like carpooling, then just let me know.

Edit: Down to 2 more spots in the ol' 4-wheeled thingy, er cage.

[Sean]

Wish I had some time to head down to the races! gosh darn school You're gonna love it there Cathy, watching these crazy mofo's on this size of a track, is amazing! have some fun for me.

[mtnairlover]

Will do, Sean. Will miss ya though...

Anyhoo, for those wanting to tag along from up North (way North)...I'm leaving the land o'love at 7, so I can get down to Starbucks on 120th and I-25 by 8. Gonna pick up Shahira and her son there. Post up if you wanna join the caravan, or pool it.

[rybo]

Cathy,

I just want to say "thanks" for coming down to support us and join in on the action!

I'll be in north garages, Number 14. Stop by, say hi and drink some of the free Vitamin Water!

Drive safely, see you soon!

Scott

[Foolds]

What time will you be back in north Denver?

[mtnairlover]

What time will you be back in north Denver?

It depends on how much race fuel I can huff when I'm there...if I can get my fill easily, we may leave early...of course someone else will need to drive...

KIDDING!!!

Um I think to answer your question is I'm going to play it by ear. Factors that will push my time will be weather, children, people freezing there nether regions off, etc. To put in other words, you tell me and I'll make it happen...or as closely as possible.

[Foolds]

I'm thinking about going but cant leave the dingo home alone too long. Would need to be back by 4-5 ish

[mtnairlover]

Hmmm...might be workable. If you're thinking about it, then I'll be at Starbucks by 8 to pick up Shahira.

[schwagman]

I wish I could go. You guys have fun.

[MRA 32]

Cathy, stop in at the garages. I will be in the same as Scott Rybarik! I hope to see you all down there! Thanks for the support!

I wish I could make over to the Haus for coffee more often but between night classes, racing, work and oh yeah my wife, I seem to be a little busy.

[mtnairlover]

Holy crap!!! Don't encourage her!

I was really glad to have met new people today as well. Shahira, you're sumpin else.

Oh and yes, I took lots of pix and some came out ok as well. I'll post up what I've got, but there were so many to choose from, it was hard to whittle it down.

Here's a start...



From the spectator's POV

[mtnairlover]

There were several awesome battles going on in the various races. I caught this one and didn't even know it...watch the numbers change in the progression of pix...







LOR




RYBO had busted up his elbow the day before, but raced anyway. All he needed was to not finish last...he succeeded...


Other bikes...oh and yes, I do like this corner...there's lots to study in body positioning on this corner...


Yeah, I didn't discriminate on the backside shot...I got the guys too;-)
