I'd be in for some meet ups in the Springs area as well. Castle Rock might not be a bad place to meet from time to time so north and south could all attend.

Definitely! I've heard a lot of interest from people in the Springs, so I'm thinking that in addition to the Denver brewery meets that Gary organizes every month or two, I'll add on one in the Springs area for people from a bit further south. More details will come after this trip as I pick a date and get one organized.

I'd be up for Castle Rock meet also, it is better than Denver and a lot easier to get to after work.

@Douglas Marker - Awesome, I look forward to meeting you! (If you're planning on coming be sure to RSVP on the Rally Point event!)

@Caligirlnic - I'm planning on camping in the Oil Well Flats area. (I'm a MTBer and it's the only place I've camped out there)[/QUO

If you want to camp further away, try Royal Gorge. Its free and there is 1 trail there. Views are pretty nice too.

I would love to run down that way, I went on a trail run next to Woodlawn park (Scharbarth) a few weeks ago, which would be a good otion for some wheeling met-up and maybe an over nighter, but maybe later in the year cause it was quite muddy at the bottom and camp spots might be a little small for a larger group. if I do make it it would just be me (David) as Jan works most Saturdat mornings.

@SoCOTaco What part of OWF do you camp at? I know the further up the more room and less crowds.

I've only camped there once, but I went just about as far up to the mesa as I could. As of now it's looking like we'll have around 10 rigs, so I'm thinking we'll head up there a bit and find one of the larger open ones in the fields.

Sounds good, we'd love to have you on this trip! The meet time isn't until 4pm in Canon City just in case that changes anything about her availability!

We talked about it and if we go, I think we would have to plan on catching up with everyone. Never been exploring that neck of the woods, but have done a day trip down to see Biships Castle and used to go to West Clif area for retreats. Will have to see, I would really rather goes as a couple.

If we come down it will probably be earlier on Saturday and set up camp. We will also take the bikes and explore OWF I bit. Anyone else up for riding too?
@kaylodad we’ll be bringing our off road camper

No problem, just RSVP to the Rally Point if you end up deciding to go so I can keep you in the loop.

Depending on what my weekend looks like I may be down to join, I'd just have to go back into town to meet everyone else. Have you ridden there before?

Awesome, I look forward to meeting you! I know myself and a few others on this trip are going to Expo West too, so it'll be nice to meet some people to try and coordinate camping with!
