The meet is this Saturday. Hopefully the cold front coming Tuesday night, Wednesday morning doesn't bring anymore snow. I plan on being there as long as the roads are clear.

How long of a cruise do we want this to be? Short and quick with a view or something longer with some good twisties? It will depend on the conditions of the roads come saturday, there is still some slush out that could play havic with route choice.

The best short run IMO is the Lookout mountian. Its a tight technical road, nothing terribly fast and you really have to mind speeds as there can be a lot of people on the road and most of the corners are blind. When you hit the top its an overlook of golden and downtown denver with a nice parking lot for pictures with the mountians as a backdrop. Nice places to eat near by and fast access to I70 for those that need to jet. Its a good cruise back down the same route into golden to do brew tours or just swing by some of the nice spots of golden. Total time up or down the route is maybe 20-30 minutes depending on speeds and and roughly 30-45 from dave and busters.

Looking for about an hour cruise and not going too far much north. Us Springs guys have a long journey home. Last northern meet I went to I ended up in Boulder. >:l

Hmm kinda tough to say what's a good route, most of the good stuff is probably the suckage w/ snow. The cruise to the springs last time to GoTG wasn't bad. Someone should drive up lookout mtn road prior to having a cruise up it just to make sure we wont be having our cars turn into 3,000lb sleds

I will almost bet you the lower haft will be free and clear and shiny, the last 5 or so minutes worth once you hit the trees will be little bit nastier (nothing you couldnt handle as long as you are safe, ive done it through some thick snow for kicks once.)

I'm running on some pretty slick KDW tires. I was doing 10-25mph on 25 coming home from Parker after that little blizzard we had in Oct.

For Lookout, we can always call the Buffalo Bill gift shop for road conditions.

So if its GoTg then would we be driving back down to the springs to meet the springs people rather than the Dave and Busters bit?
