The cruise and shall be in honor of ryanmmacoustic's grandmother who passed away this morning (March 7th). RIP. it will be [size="7"]rescheduled for March 20th[/size] due to the chance for rain/snow along the route for
So after the other thread I posted about getting some interest going for another mountain cruise, it seems like March 13th is turning out to be a good option. I was originally thinking a bit later on as March can be pretty snowy, but it seems like people want one sooner! March 13th is DST, so it could mean some beautiful driving depending on what time we go out.
I think the idea is to meet somewhere out further south. The Great Indoors might be a good option right off I-25 near C-470, or there is a Super Target complex on Lincoln just a bit west of I-25 (like another exit further south from the mall). The goal is to get as many people as possible to go on this cruise, so this will all depend on weather. The weather has been really nice and is supposed to stay really nice for at least the next 10 days according to weather.com, and there hasn't been a ton of snow in general this season, so hopefully it will be nice on the 13th.
Meeting place: Home Depot
4277 S Eldridge Street
Morrison, CO 80465
Possible route (I don't know a whole lot about the mountain roads, heck I've only had my license for 7 months, I just got this from looking at Google Maps):
Start at The Home Depot near C-470 and 285.
- Take US-285 S to Co Rd 126
- Turn left at Co Rd 126/Pine Valley Rd
- Continue to follow Co Rd126
- Continue onto CO-67 S
- Turn left at US-24 E
- Turn right at S 8th St
- Turn left at W Moreno Ave
- W Moreno Ave turns right and becomes Sonic View

Feel free to suggest a different route, but let's try to keep it down in this same area so we can hopefully get some people from the Springs to head out on it too!
