This cruise is spreading like wildfire throughout the various Colorado car forums. This is shaping up to probably be one of the biggest Colorado cruises ever! Metrodubs is coming for this as well!

Sounds like fun. I'll be there. Hopefully my slow ass can keep up.

Hmm. Lets see how fast I can do an engine swap, 02a trans conversion, and passat dash swap. In a perfect world I know I can get that done, but we'll see. I might just spend that day wrenching.

How long does the cruise take? I have a concert to see in Boulder at around 7 that evening.

0dd_j0b · « **Reply #14 on:** March 10, 2010, 04:15:32 AM »

probably an all afternoon event. I would say 3-4 hours of driving? or less? I don't remember. and maybe an hour for lunch.
And I probably won't make it.

Yah, it's probably going to be 4-5 hours. If you are coming from Denver, then the cruise essentially ends once you get to Denver -- or if you have plans in Denver area, just continue the route to your destination. I would estimate the cruise ending in Denver around 4-5 p.m.

lnferno · « **Reply #17 on:** March 15, 2010, 02:24:39 PM »

I drove the route on Saturday. There was a bit of gravel, but not too bad. I'll keep a close eye on the weather on Friday. I'll update this thread either late Friday night or Saturday morning if we have to cancel this due to weather.

Sorry guys, due to the weather predicted for Friday/Saturday, this is cancelled.

Again, sorry for the weather and cancellation of this cruise this weekend. We value people's rides and more importantly, people's lives. For those that may not be aware, the route for this cruise is deep in the mountains with lots of twisties. These are just not safe conditions to have a cruise this weekend. The snow conditions in the mountains are a lot worse than in the city areas, so it's just not worth taking any unnecessary risks and putting people's lives in danger.

No sweat, it was a good call to cancel based on the weather. It seems that it will only get worse as the night goes.
