Re: Rocky Mountain Run, Colorado
 

As this is essentially the first Rocky Mountain Run, think of it as a "shakedown" adventure - i.e., not (yet) the polished Appalachian MRs.

That said, there are 3+ people who are or have lived in the immediate area on the committee who have and are continuing to check out the best twisties and points of interest, which will be a topic of discussion and planning around the bar at the end of each day.

One point of interest for sure is the Royal Gorge bridge photo op. In fact, Canon City will be the first over-night stop so that we can be at the bridge before it opens to the public at 10AM (we will need to be there around 8-9AM (ish) for photos, and then taking a scenic route to the base station hotel in Black Hawk for the remainder of the adventure!

Specific locations and routes remain a 'work in progress', and with the guidance and recommendations of the locals on the committee, coupled with the abundance of things to see within a day's driving, I (being one who lived there for 3 years) can tell you there are PLENTY of treks that will keep your eyes wide open taking in the views as well as rubbing some of the tread off your tires, in the mean time!

Suggested routs include the Rocky Mt Nat'l Park, Royal Gorge (mentioned), Breckenridge, South Park (yes, it is a REAL town!), and several passes and secluded towns dotting some of the prettiest mountain runs anywhere. (Makes me all "tiingly" just to think about it. Only about 6 weeks away!)

As for hotel reservations, Ted is working out the final arrangements. I would expect to see an announcement in the next week or so with specifics. Stay tuned to this channel for more information! :dancing

Thanks Paul for getting back to me.

How many people would you guess are interested at this point?

Re: Rocky Mountain Run, Colorado
 

Est. about a dozen cars +. Once REGISTRATION has taken place, we'll have a firm idea. It could be 18 cars, but that (I expect) would be a lot for a 'maiden voyage', as it were...

Was excited to attend but dates are in the middle of annual family gathering at Tahoe. Drats.

Paul,

Is the initial meetup still at the casino?

Re: Rocky Mountain Run, Colorado
 

Initial meeting in Canon City first night. Hotel info TBA. First stop is Royal Gorge Bridge (photo op), and then make way to Black Hawk via scenic twisties.

Re: Rocky Mountain Run, Colorado
 

I will be there, on the way home from a Northwest road trip. The Royal Gorge photo op and visit will be fun. I already made reservations in Canon City for July 19th.
