Rocky Mountain Run, Colorado

[tf95ZR1]

Just a heads up so you can arrange your schedule
if you are interested. Your ZR-1 Net Registry is
planning and organizing the first annual "Rocky
Mountain Run" based in Black Hawk, Colorado
which is west of Denver. The dates are:

July 18, 2018 to July 22, 2018.

We are still planning the particulars.

Thanks!

Ted Feder
ZR-1 Net Registry Events Chairman

Looking forward to it.

We should put a copy of this in the 2018 Events section as well.

A chance for the WEST COASTIES to meet fellow Corvette members for some ZR-1 fun in beautiful Colorado Rockies!

Pikes Peak
Royal Gorge
Rocky Mt Nat'l Park

...and many exquisite roads and views in between!

Lyndi and I will be on our way back from a west coast road trip and I have added a side trip to join the Rocky Mountain Run. This is going to be a great event. We are planning some epic excursions and getting to drive and mingle with some new Corvette owners will be fun.


We intend that this Rocky Mountain Run is the first of a long tradition, just like the Mountain Run in the Appalachian Mountains which this year is Mountain Run 6.


I encourage everyone to join us.

Any more information about the Rocky Mountain Run? Hotels, driving routes, etc.

Any more information about the Rocky Mountain Run? Hotels, driving routes, etc.

As this is essentially the first Rocky Mountain Run, think of it as a "shakedown" adventure - i.e., not (yet) the polished Appalachian MRs.

That said, there are 3+ people who are or have lived in the immediate area on the committee who have and are continuing to check out the best twisties and points of interest, which will be a topic of discussion and planning around the bar at the end of each day.

One point of interest for sure is the Royal Gorge bridge photo op. In fact, Canon City will be the first over-night stop so that we can be at the bridge before it opens to the public at 10AM (we will need to be there around 8-9AM (ish) for photos, and then taking a scenic route to the base station hotel in Black Hawk for the remainder of the adventure!

Specific locations and routes remain a 'work in progress', and with the guidance and recommendations of the locals on the committee, coupled with the abundance of things to see within a day's driving, I (being one who lived there for 3 years) can tell you there are PLENTY of treks that will keep your eyes wide open taking in the views as well as rubbing some of the tread off your tires, in the mean time!

Suggested routs include the Rocky Mt Nat'l Park, Royal Gorge (mentioned), Breckenridge, South Park (yes, it is a REAL town!), and several passes and secluded towns dotting some of the prettiest mountain runs anywhere. (Makes me all "tiingly" just to think about it. Only about 6 weeks away!)

As for hotel reservations, Ted is working out the final arrangements. I would expect to see an announcement in the next week or so with specifics. Stay tuned to this channel for more information! :dancing

Thanks Paul for getting back to me.

How many people would you guess are interested at this point?

Est. about a dozen cars +. Once REGISTRATION has taken place, we'll have a firm idea. It could be 18 cars, but that (I expect) would be a lot for a 'maiden voyage', as it were...

Was excited to attend but dates are in the middle of annual family gathering at Tahoe. Drats.

Paul,

Initial meeting in Canon City first night. Hotel info TBA. First stop is Royal Gorge Bridge (photo op), and then make way to Black Hawk via scenic twisties.

[QB93Z]

I will be there, on the way home from a Northwest road trip. The Royal Gorge photo op and visit will be fun. I already made reservations in Canon City for July 19th.
