Out of town now but, will see if I have enough time to prep when I get back. Thanks for herding these cats to make this happen!

You don't have to go to that kind of trouble. We can give the people choices haha! And for those who are torn ... there's always next year.

Tim have you selected a trail for the 40"s only run?

Sorry for the whiplash - I had some issues with my truck that needed sorting out and it’s made the date bounce around a bit.

Could I ride along with someone and take pictures if I meet everyone at the trailhead?

With the amount of scheduling conflicts, this will be a manageable and small group, so no worries. There will be room for you so just let me know when you can.
@DomOfTheDead Show up and I’m sure there will be a seat for you. Guaranteed you can ride in the back of our truck. Maybe somebody else will have a shotgun seat.

You always have a seat in my Rig. I do plan to camp however but you’re welcome to do that too, if, then bring a bag and what not’s. Room for some food et c in fridge as well Unless you could tolerate some of mine.
Just let me know

We got our little skeleton crew and maybe a few more ... I don't know how y'all are feeling but I can't wait to get out of town for the day.
I was drinking coffee this morning and looking at photos on my phone that did NOT involve going to work haha!

Kind of feel like a fool, did not run Medano, reasons and don’t do Holiday weekends. Just Raton pass and back, driving from COS a few errands in town as well. Grossly ~ about 150 miles but took around a 30 ( correction, about 25) gal to do it. Found a spark plug wire burnt, now new ones. Back to a 180 from 160 degree Thermostat (read a great article, happy temps around 205 -215). Also doing my silly air intake mods and heat shield. But now I’m very apprehensive about it all. But I will keep trying to go on this run. Just a little more iffy now …..

Does this mean you're in or out? I don't know the specifics of all that work you described so I'm not sure if you have engine problems or what - I'm not following the problem I guess. Let us know!

Hey pending guys, as we're mid way through the week I just wanted to check in on how y'all are feeling. We can still play it fast & loose, but if you're able to give a solid yes or no that's helpful too.
And for the record, Karen and I are going, even if we're going alone. We have the weekend blocked off and we'll throw the tent out for a night. It'll be good to get out of the city. If the Inaugural 60s only run is a solo trip, then so be it! No pressure on anyone else either way!

Awesome! No pressure on the overnight - that's sort of an addition I tacked on just because Karen and I would be staying.

For those coming, here is the meeting spot: 39.77244, -105.68361.
Meet at 9AM and air down before starting. You do not need to air down to get to the meeting spot, it's a graded dirt road that runs 1 mile north of Empire. Please come fueled up and with everything you need. There is a small gas station in Empire, as well as several fuel stops along I-70 to the east in Downieville, Dumont, and Idaho Springs, and to the west along I-70 in Georgetown.
If anybody wants a Gaia GPS track, including some camp sites I have earmarked, let me know. Happy to send that along.
