Rocky Mountain Run

RESURRECTED!

Date: TBD
Rain Date: N/A
Start time: TBD
Distance: +430mi

Event Page Added: https://www.facebook.com/events/177746729257655/
Please add yourself to the event if you plan on coming!

Participant list (unconfirmed):
1. Evil M (me)

3. slavik

13. Drift Unit


*Pending route modifications*
Total distance will be over 430 miles. Decided to start up North in Ft. Collins and go South, down to Colorado City. Definitely an all day event.
I am working on, and will have a list of each road and a description and checkpoints along the way. This route is E-85 friendly for those of you who use it.
Rest/Checkpoints will be established along the route for people who want to meet and drive, or not wanting to drive the full length. Actual stop points still need to be determined.

Leave some feedback! I'd like to get some input from everyone so I can decide what days and time will be official.
What do you think? Too long/far? Would it be more ideal to travel North to South, or vice versa? Who would be down for this?


MAP OVERVIEW
*With descriptions under image*






CO-165
Description: Good twisty uphill climb with technical high speed corners.
Traffic: Low
Surface Quality: Average-Good
Distance: 32.9 mi

CO-96/CO-69
Description: Fun, high speed corners exiting the mountains, transforms into wide open and very scenic.
Traffic: Very Low-Moderate
Surface Quality: Fair-Average
Distance: 46.5 mi

US-50
Description: 2-lane highway mountain passage with fast sweeping turns.
Traffic: Moderate
Surface Quality: Good
Distance: 16.5 mi

CO-9/ Teller 1
Description: One of my favorites. Very technical but fast with lots of tight areas and elevation change. This road has it all.
Traffic: Low-Moderate
Surface Quality: Average-Good
Distance: 40.2 mi

CO-67
Description: Nice fun road to drive, depending on traffic. Cripple Creek attracts a lot of travelers so you often get stuck behind some old person driving 20mph with a line of cars behind them.
Traffic: Moderate-High
Surface Quality: Good
Distance: 18.4 mi

CO67/CR126 (Deckers)
This long stretch of road is arguably some of the best the east side of the Rockies has to offer.
Traffic: Moderate
Surface Quality: Fair/Good
Distance: 47.6 mi


ROUTE BREAKDOWN

Poudre Canyon Rd (CO14) - Stove Prairie Rd (CO27)
Total Distance: 41 mi
Traffic: Low - Moderate
Surface Quality: Fair/Good





US 34 - Devil's Gulch (CR43) to Estes Park *Fuel/Rest point in Estes Park*
Total Distance: 25.4 mi
Traffic: Low - Moderate
Surface Quality: Fair/Good




*There will be a stop in either Granby or Idaho Springs depending on which route we take.


CO103 (Squaw Pass)/ CO5 (Mt. Evans)
Traffic: Unknown
Surface Quality: Newly paved asphalt on majority of CO103; Mt. Evans undetermined.
Total Distance: 59.5 mi




From here we will continue down 74-73 through Evergreen to 285. Next stop will be the Kum & Go on 285





CR126 - CO67 (Deckers)
Total Distance: 57.5 mi
Traffic: Moderate
Surface Quality: Fair/Good

More to come...

Just found out yesterday that I'm getting sent to Kentucky this weekend, for Cadet Summer Training...yay....

So obviously this isn't going to happen, unless someone else wants to volunteer to host.

I'd be interested if later in September; already committed for Labor Day Weekend. Colors will be changing late September....maybe the weekend of September 24th & 25th.

I've driven the roads you've outlined and while you could do it in a day, be much better over two days or in my opinion cut it down to a run between Ft. Collins and Colorado Springs. Meet up for breakfast at one end or the other, pick a lunch spot somewhere in between and a dinner spot at the other end.

Maybe Cafe Bluebird in Ft. Collins for breakfast, Lunch somewhere in between and dinner at Bristol Brewing Company in Colorado Springs; 240ish miles with Google saying 6 hours of driving....looks something like this:

Welcome....just looked at your post for the springs and wheels. I like the wheels on the white.

Saw you also are getting into the coding...have you done it before?
