DENVER Sat 1/29 - Yankee Hill Snow & Pizza Run

Jaderunner said he was going to post this, but I don't see that he ever did. (I'll be going.)

Rising Sun Club's Snow and Pizza Run

Where: Yankee Hill area behind Central City with pizza following in Idaho Springs.

Saturday Jan. 29th

We're meeting at 9 am in the dirt parking lot (next to the cemetary) about a mile down the road west out of Central City. We'll hit the trail at 9:30.

We will be meeting at Beau Joe's Pizza in Idaho Springs around 5 pm for Pizza.

I talked to Adrian on the phone, and he siad he doesn't want to take his truck out for a while. He's still seeking employment, and I think he doesn't want to risk another repair bill. I invited him to come along as a passenger, but he didn't commit to accepting the invite.

Would it be unwise to make this run with my MTR's that have about 1/4 of an inch of tread left on them?

Mike invited me and I am going to have to pass.

My truck has established a pattern of destroying IFS parts, so it is off the trail until it has a solid axle or other arrangements are made. Right now it drives like stock and has a basically brand new front end. I am not going to destroy that for a while.

Have a good time.

There might not even be that much snow. (Last run there wasn't.) Please come. It would be really nice to see you. I think you'll be fine.

I'm bringing the boys. Donna's got some dog show to go to, but she plans to meet us for dinner at BeauJo's. (Hannah has a birthday party to go to.)

I'm in the same boat Mojo, we have the same rigs, and I'm leading the run. Treads all worn out.

Remember our runner's do real well in the snow compared to some of the big heavy cruisers. We really hope you and Anna make it.

sorry...

Darn, I've been dying to go wheeling but I have to get my cage put in my car this weekend. I've just been putting it off for too long.

Have fun, take pictures!

That looked like a good turn out of people. Now I am kicking myself in the butt for staying home and ripping apart the transfer case.

Looked like fun, I will have to join next time.
