I'm in, this ride was a lot of fun last year. I'll try to meet up in Lyons also.
Like Ralph said, skipping that section takes out some of the best parts of the route.
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet.
Tommy Knocker’s would be a better choice for a large group in Idaho Springs. You’ll be waiting a while for a table at Beau Jo’s on a holiday weekend.

Yep. We were there on the very same day last year. Parking was fine...we had a whole side of one of the levels in the parking garage to ourselves with about 45-50 bikes. The buffet was fine as well, as not all of us ate and then some of us had a sandwich at the deli instead.
It's one of the solutions that seemed to fit the need the best.
Someone I work with suggested Kermits Roadhouse, but I'm not sure where it's at exactly. It's supposed to be biker friendly and the grub is like "greasy-spoon" kind of grub.

Kemits is at the bottom of Floyd Hill on Hwy 6…never have stopped there.

Harley bar. The service is shit, the place looks unhygienic, but their pork green chili is fucking out of this world. I think it has crack or something in it. SO GOOD.
I stop there on my way home from skiing, often.
EDIT: They also have hot dogs, I think, but their main food is the home-made chili. They have red chili, too... but it's not as good as the green. OMG.

Be polite. Be professional. But be prepared to kill everyone you meet.

Looks like my buddy will be bringing someone he knows as well. So 4 of us at Lyons at 9am.

What time do you think you will be in Ned? Not sure I can make it yet, I'm going to try and make arrangements so we can join you. I haven't been to Deckers or Idaho Springs yet. Sounds like fun. I need to get some miles in on my new helmet....

Um...correction...we'll leave Lyons around 10 (according to original post), so we'll more than likely be in Ned around 11, everything going the way it should go, of course. I'm thinking Blackhawk by 12, maybe 1230'ish.
