I'm a big ole maybe for this one. I want to repeat last year's camping trip down there but the 100 is getting a new timing belt the weekend before and the kid has ice skating on Saturday morning, so lots of moving parts.

I'll confirm or bail right before the ride =P

 

[COS80]

They're getting ready for us.

 

[LCPilot]

I'm looking forward to this trip.

 

[COS80]

I'll be meeting the group at Coyotes. Will we be making a fuel stop after Coyotes?

 

[krispykritter]

Yall have fun - I think I just have too much going on to make it this ride, unfortunately! Hoping to make it to a few more this year than I managed last year!

We don’t usually make a fuel stop after coyotes. But we can make a fuel stop if needed or desired. The most convenient place would be the Loves that’s between coyotes and Canon City on US50.

I just need to know if we are so i don't waste time filling up beforehand, just to go sit at a gas station again 2 minutes after we depart.

 

[Goslow]

I would fill up before hand. I’ve never known us to stop in route.

 

[COS80]

Will there really only be three trucks?

 

[Manitou Decline]

I might make it.
It's either go to cripple creek tonight to get my new shocks or stay home tomorrow waiting for them to be driven from CC to the Springs.

 

[TK470]

Is @Goslow ’s truck still in the shop?

Im in. Do we need chainsaws for the ice carving?

 

[COS80]

Bring a blowtorch, too.

No, I have it back. I’m going to ride with COS80.

 

[TK470]

I’ll also meet you guys at Coyote Coffee Den tomorrow morning.

 

[LCPilot]

Gas is cheaper at the Loves just before Canon City than in COS. I'll meet you at the Coyote.
