[CatLady]

I am so glad that you all had a good ride. It was nice to take a year off. $700 that is good. We will give a donatin in the spirit. Who has the money? I will just send it to them.

Cheers to good riding. I was with you all in spirit.

Sorry, I had to take a break this year.

A great time was had by all. We will post some pics when we get back to the big city. Thanks to everyone that rode with us.

PS A new XP can take a pine tree twice, forget the pine cone.

Cory, Thanks for Dinner!!!! If I knew you were buying I would have drank more. Speaking of drinking............hows Captain Chardonnay? Did he get a second wind?

Stacy you're a good sport! It takes alot more than a 2 foot thick Pine tree to slow you down.

A few more pics

Can you see those scratches on that mountain?

Was it the cornice or the 1200 foot drop. For 5 bucks I wood have jumped it! (not)

Beergut showing off on those hill climbs

Thanks for making the trip all the way from Utah!!!!

Nice pull Rob

Hardwoodee, you have a standing invitation. Come ride anytime. Do you always ride like your being chased?

 

[Snoman69]

Whenever my sled cools down the damn pull cord works fine....but warm it up again and it doesn't friggin work whats up with that?

I hat it when that happens.... I had the same issue a couple of years ago.... I rebuilt the recoil assembly and the problem was solved, Just an FYI... might want to check into that.

So..... This weekend went quite well thanks to Chad & others- fun & safe all around.

Let's think about what we could do to expand on this success for 2009!

For one, I think we could do a grill lunch out on the hill somewhere - maybe take a few grills up on the BR2k to the Y. And I think we could work with Morril(Yami/Poo), Fritz(Kitty Cat), and Lake City Auto or Felkers etc.. to line up demo rides for the event. Also - I was thinking maybe we could rent/beg/borrow/steal the firehouse in CB or the CB Arts Center for dinner.

If there's interest, I think we could keep it growing!
Let's pencil in President's Day, Feb 2009 for now.

Glad everyone came down.

MtnDoo

I like this idea MtnDoo...

Are you going to take the lead to start organizing this?

I will take the lead to do the donations again...

I think if we start this early enough, we could really get a big shindig going... I love the idea of BBQ on the mtn....

Let's get the ball rollin

You all wore me out!!!!

I just finished work for the day and I can not believe how tired I am.
The riding was out of this world.

Joe Mama and Crew thanks for the keg on Saturday night and for highjacking it for the trailhead on Sunday. Not to mention the Jager and Grand Marnier. It was great way to end an epic ride.

CBRob, you have a friend in me! We made a great team. Sorry we missed you at Mario's. It was not a pretty sight watching Nick turn into Captain Chardonnay. It is tough to get kicked out of a Pizza Joint (almost). Joe Mama found some gloves that look like yours. Are you missing a pair? I have them.

Ex5, you two were a big part of a great weekend for me. Eric, sorry I spent soo much time watching Deb's "body english".

Beergut, I am going to find you!..............................and hopely ride with you some more. Call me for a road trip.

Mule, it was nice to put a face to your screen name. You don't look anything like your avitar.

MtnDoo, you never fail to impress. That is one nice Xp you built! Do you want me to break it in for you?

GunniApexrider, between the glock pistol and running over MtnDoo, there is noway I am going to F@#K with you!

I am just settling into a beer and a good movie. Cory, thanks for the video.

Thanks!

Chad the guys and I would like to thank you for the keg of Fat Tire on Saturday night. We also wanted to say thanks to everyone that took the time to put this event together. The prizes, food, beer and riding were excellent.

We also wanted to share one picture that could have been extremely bad, but fortunately the planets must have been in the proper alignment for our group on Saturday. However, the slide did help justify drinking the rest of that keg of Fat Tire. The location of this slide was at the head of Elk Creek. Again thanks to all and hope to see everyone next year.

Don't thank me, thank Katmandeux (I think I spelled that right), he's the one who bought it. Thank you for getting the shell to Justin. Looks like you guys did find some more good riding, glad nobody got more than a scare...scary looking picture...

Arlen (PowderKing) and I were bummed that we had to take off Sunday morning...wanted to get up and ride again with you guys. Would have liked to ride with more of you guys. Next time we are down that way, we'll have to do that.

After getting asked to leave the pizza joint on Sun night we headed off to the last chance bar after all they will let anyone in. Lucky for us and them it was closed so we were off to the room where the good captn. chardonnay mixes a drink and we head to the lobby for a quick post. The next thing Nick remebers is the hotel manager saying "Sir the lobby closes at 10:00 you need to leave."

The drive home was brutal! Beergut was about an hour ahead of us and called back a few times with a road report. Monarch pass was a slow go but the last 40 miles to fairplay were bad. Ice on the roads from the 50+ mph winds and my big azz trailer. When we get to fairplay we learn that 285 is closed.....so its off to Colorado Springs via hiway 9 and 24. Then hit road work in the springs and Denver holiday traffic...I just kept thinking man that powder was great and what an amazing group of people we met.

Thanks everyone for a great time! Chad, great job on organizing it this year. Also a big thanks to Rob, Troy, and others for the hospitality and for leading us around. Got into some fun stuff on Sunday!

I'm glad I left before 7am on Monday; the roads around Fairplay were NASTY (just past Fairplay we were down to about 15 mph), but at least I made it through. I met a State Trooper going the other way, I'm betting he probably had a little input into them closing the road, probably just after I went through.

BTW -- am I just blind, or wtf happened to the "big" Colorado ride thread? I think there were some pics posted on that thread too...

Damn Snowsnake, that could have been ugly. The only snowmobiler fatality CB has ever had was in that spot. It was the mid 90's and it was a friend of mine named Rob Washborne. It has a terrain trap at the bottom that piles the snow in extra deep.
Troy, thanks for grabbing my gloves for me. 2 cups of beer and I start losing crap... lol..

It was Joe Mama that found your gloves. He left them with me.

Had a blast, looking forward to next year Drive home did suck... roads weren't -real- bad into fairplay, but i was sure looking forward to an easier drive. Jumped onto 9 and cut through breck/frisco before heading east on 70 after hearing kenosha pass was closed.
