NoCo Cruise June 18th

Okay, I know there are a lot of cruises happening lately, but I figured we could get one rolling for the NoCo/Wyoming folks. We have some fantastic roads up here as well and beautiful scenery!

Here is the route:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=W+Co+Rd+38E&daddr=40.5997,-105.34101+to:40.68817,-105.36247+to:40.64203,-105.18689+to:Co+Rd+19%2FS+Taft+Hill+Rd&hl=en&geocode=Fd5zagIdOA28-Q%3BFZSAawIdrp-4-Sk_2A5-Fj9phzEsm-BibiZrZw%3BFSrabAId2ku4-SmHg0irAD1phzETvZXsD8b4RA%3BFe4lbAIdtvm6-Snza8b-EDdphzHzTJhtfS1gPg%3BFRBqagId_BG8-Q&mra=dpe&mrsp=3&sz=12&via=1,2,3&sll=40.587103,-105.232201&sspn=0.210926,0.445976&ie=UTF8&ll=40.58971,-105.24147&spn=0.210918,0.445976&z=12

58.4 mile circuit through the mountains. We will meet up at the JJ's gas station at the NW corner of Harmony and Taft Hill in Fort Collins at 11:00AM.

Map: http://maps.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x87694bfac670681b:0x722b579af635ceaf&q=4015+South+Taft+Hill+Road,+Fort+Collins,+CO+&hl=en&sll=40.531476,-105.115991&sspn=0.006295,0.006295&ie=UTF8&ll=40.536748,-105.12723&spn=0,0&t=h&z=16

I'm thinking it will be good to start this around 11AM. Cruise will be approx 1 hour so we can be back in town at Noon and grab lunch or part ways. If there are any objections to the time or schedules to work around we can probably accommodate.

I know we won't get a lot of people but that's okay, but still the more the merrier!

RECAP:

What?: NoCo Cruise up Rist Canyon
When?: 11:00AM Saturday, June 18th 2011
Where?: Meeting up at the JJ's Gas Station at MAP, Taft Hill Rd and Harmony in Fort Collins

Can I sign up? I'd love to meet some of you NoCo folks that I haven't had the chance to meet yet. I really need to continue to break in my motor.

Of course you can! This isn't exclusive to NoCo members, just more convenient for us since all the cruises take place in Denver or south. Any and all members are welcome and encouraged to join!

Wait is it? I looked on my phone and it said different. Hmm

Edit:
Oh that's why. My calendar didn't change to June when I was looking so it still said may ha ha hush. I still have to see if I can get it off regardless as I work that day

And dude, how did you get the route so smooth, I tried to draw it on google for the last cruise

It's really only about 45mins or so if that.


And it got all sorts of jacked up....... I couldn't get the whole thing to run together..........

Haha Jamie actually did the route for me since he knows the area better than I do!

First post updated with attendees.

I should know my schedule by mid-week.

And this will be a little odd, for me, as it'll be backwards from the way I normally go at it. The person with the best radar detector goes 1st ;-)

That area is pretty empty for the most part...but a radar detector in the lead car would be helpful!
