Default CCC - Drive on 10/18 ?

The weatherman says it may get back into the 70s this Sunday. This might be a great chance to have one last drive before the real snow starts to hit. Anyone up for it?

I hadn't gotten that far yet. Hwy 103 may be nice. I don't know if there is a lot sand/salt on the road now though.

Damn, bad timing. Crossfire's is in the shop - Air Bag warning light on. Fourth time to the dealer for this problem. Looks like I have to catch you guys next time. Sorry.

At least you will not have to worry about the weather. We had ice fog down here last weekend, 60 car pile-up on the interstate! Have fun - be safe!

I just drove it in the Boxster, and it is clear all the way through from Evergreen to Idaho Springs.

When and where do you want to meet up at?

BC.

I cannot remember the name of the restaurant, but should we meet in the Coors parking lot and go from there? You can call me on my cell, 303-918-9617.

Will do. We might try to get the bikes out for a quick spin before the drive depending how the morning goes. My lil roadster is looking forward to another mountain run before winter sets in too, yay.

The name of the place is "Old Capital Grill": 1122 Washington Ave, Golden, CO (SW corner of 12th and Washington). If you drive past the 12th and Washington intersection on 12th, the next block will have ample parking.

Hey Itsky,

Thanks for another great day out having fun in the sun!
Bat and I, as always, enjoy driving with you.
What a beautiful day for a drive.

For the rest of you who weren't able to make it today, you missed out on a great time.
We started out on Squaw Pass (CO-103), then zipped down to Genesee Mountain Road, and finally down Lookout Mountain on Lariat Loop Road.

Great day!

BC.

It was a very fun day of driving! Besides a few slow Subarus in front of us, it was prefect!
