    Colorado Front Range Informal Spring Drive - Sunday March 9th (Added Pics)

    A few local M Coupe owners and I were talking about getting together for an informal spring drive on Sunday March 8th. We just wanted to extend the invitation to anyone on here that wants to join us.

    We were thinking of meeting around noon and heading west into the mountains with lots of stops for photos and a bite to eat. Although the route has yet to be decided, Denver / Boulder would be a good place to start because people are coming from Colorado Springs and Ft. Collins. I'm open to suggestions as far as a route is concerned, feel free to post any. The weather is forcast for partly sunny skies and a high in the 50's. I'll post more details in this post as we figure them out. For now:

    Date: Sunday March 9th
    When: Noon
    Where: Meet at the intersection of HWY 93 and HWY 72 just North of Golden.
    Head West on HWY 72 through Coal Creek Canyon to the Peak to Peak HWY.
    Head North on the Peak to Peak through Nederland and Ward.
    Then:

    Option 1 - If the roads are bad. There's a bar on the Peak to Peak just above Ward where we could grab a bite. After that we could head down Left Hand Canyon. Take 36 back to Boulder / Denver.

    Option 2 - If the roads are good. Stay on the Peak to Peak to HWY 7 and head down St. Vrain Canyon to Lyons and Grab a bite at Oskar Blues. Take 36 back to Boulder / Denver.

    Who: At least 1 M Coupe + anyone else who wants to join us

    Any chance of doing this on Saturday, instead of Sunday. The gals are having a baby shower at our place on Saturday, they're kicking me out.

    There is a strong possibility I will be able to come. That makes it 4 M coupes if I do.

    LOL @ Drunken posting.



    I have a track day Saturday, and a lot of work to do on the car before the following weekend (trip to San Diego)... Wish I could make it.

    Wow, just wow. Sorry about that. I dont even remember typing that after I came home last night. Anyway, Alex and I are researching possible routes.

    Alex - I haven't gotten a chance to look at anything yet and between work today and the biggest hangover of my life I don't know when I'm going to get it done. Maybe tomorrow at the earliest.

    Hmm, sounds very interesting... I'd like to join, but it depends on the weather. When will a starting point / route be decided?

    We're shooting for having it decided on as soon as possible. I'm thinking by Wed or Thur.

    Sweet. I can't wait to get my car out for the summer. The Jeep is ok, but it's no rock-solid piece of bavarian street-burning steel.
