(CO) Ft Collins Wheeling Trip

I was thinking it would be cool to head up north and try a trail up in Ft Collins, if folks round here are interested. Thinking August 6th. Also thinking of Moody Hill or Kelly flats. I was thinking of Moody hill over kelly flats soley because kelly flats is like 30 or so miles in from Ft. Collins, and Moody hill is much closer, like about 4 or so, i think.

Since you're from ft collins, are there any safeway's with gas stations up there? If so, that's where we should meet, so i can get cheap gas.

I'd say run Crystal mtn. after Moody. Moody isn't that long. And there a good chance we'll be up for it.

Okay, trail is set to Moody Hill continuing on to Crystal mountain. We still need a place to meet in Ft Collins, so I'll work on that.

IKE,

I've set this trail run up a few times in the past - and meeting in Ft. Collins is pretty much out of the way for anyone coming from the south. I suggest we meet in Masonville at the little shop. Ft. Collin people can meet us there or at the Moody Trail head which has a dirt pulloff right by the start of the trail. Just my .02 Here the thread I started last year - might be useful to you.

Okay, Masonville it is. So, where should we meet in masonville, since i've never been there? Also, i'd like to meet at like 9-10 am, because i've got to get back down to boulder by early evening, round 5 ish.

Sorry about the Safeway info Ike, work web access is keeping me from responding in a timely fashion. We're pretty slim on the safeway coverage up here. Sounds like it's been resolved though. I can meet in masonville.
I too would prefer as early as possible a gathering since I've got family coming into town later that day.

Awsome Adrian. I too have to be back in boulder, probably around 5 or 5:30.

Kyle, sorry you can't make it.

Okay, so, now that this is only a week away, we still need a location in masonville to meet at. An easy landmark would be great for anyone who's been there. Also, i know i started this, but it'd be great if we could get someone else to lead, since i have no idea where i'm going. once we figure that out, i'll post up with exact information on time/who/cbchannel...etc...
