Default Estes Park Run?

Anyone besides me thinking a group run to Estes Park for lunch would be great? Is anything in the works yet?

Welcome Strattian; it's been a while, I know you guys have made this run before.
Where did you meet?
Did you have lunch at the Stanley Hotel?
If we can get a group together we could do it in a week or two, we could take a vote on if Saturday or Sunday is best. Let’s try to make this happen.
Thanks everyone.

Thanks everyone.
Freak had us meet at the gas station in front of GO Chevrolet at 36th and I-25 which was a little cramped. I recommend meeting at Walmart parking lot at I-25 and 136th (West side of I-25). There's a Starbucks and a Carl's Jr. right there for anyone needing an early morning caffeine fix and it's easy to get on and off I-25 with a group of Corvettes. I've done this run a couple times and we can eat at the Stanley, in the nearby downtown Estes or simply wait until we hit Nederland and eat there. Certainly bring camera's as the views are great there and all along the way. Of course everyone should brush up on their automotive "Wave".

FYI - I posted links at ColordadoCorvette.com, Z06Vette.com, and CrossedFlags.com.

Personally due to traffic I think Saturday is better then Sunday. Battling Sunday afternoon I70 traffic sucks but I'd go anyways

BTW anyone want to go a garden of the gods run as well?

Well were starting to get a group together.
Do you guys want to run this coming weekend or wait until after Labor Day?
I’m ready most any weekend, and a run to Garden of the Gods sounds like fun also.
I know it’s over 90 degrees today but it will be snowing in just a few months.
Thanks

ok everyone what do you think?
How about doing the run on Saturday 9-08-07 .
We could meet at the Wallmart @ I-25 and 136th ave @ 10:00 am for our run to Estes Park.
I hoping this will give everyone plenty of notice. And maybe we can pick up a few more people.

I will be there.

It appears nothing, save the CO Springs dealer show, is going on between now and 9/8/07. Bummer...

How about Sunday the 19th? Saturdays are out for me now as it is high school football time and I have a game scheduled to Officiate every Saturday until November. It's a great criuse, not to many slow pokes this time of the year. Count me in if it's a Sunday!!! Also going up Boulder canyon to Nederland and then going across to Estes is a great drive.

Ask Bandit to update the 2007 list with this run.

While your at it maybe you can get a Z06 mountain run together. That event has only happened once; the year before I bought my Z.
