What do you guys think about 8:30 at the McDonalds in Idaho Springs?

Why not exit 234 in Downieville at 8:30? Then we wont have to get back on I-70.

Well Fawk! Went to change my Pads and Rotors this evening, only to discover my passenger side caliper was leaking. Look at the watch and its 10 after 9, so everything is closed. There goes my Red Elephant trip. Went and picked up a new caliper this morning, got everything buttoned up, and everything is frozen, Jeep won't move. After looking closer, Vatozone (just a reminder why I usually shop at Napa), sold me a replacement for the composite type, and mine uses a cast type. Until researching, I wasn't aware Jeep switched from composite to cast in mid 99. Well now I know.

Sorry guys for having to back out at the last minute, trust me I would have rather been wheeling. Hope you guys have a great time, post pics so I can be jealous.

We ended up going to Middle Saint Vrain/ Coney Flats and then went to on to Lefthand. It was an interesting day to say the least. Hopefully we can get a trip report up soon.

Sweet! I feel like a d-bag having to pull out on my own run.
