Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southwest COLORADO CANYON RUN #3 APRIL 17th 2004 ! ! !

Oh yeah . . . This run is going to be awesome and everyone is welcome that can make it. I am ready, I got the car running better with a new tune-up. I just have to get a waste-gate actuator that opens sooner. 9psi, is going to do some damage in the long run, if I don't get a smaller actuator and can turn it down ! Well, I will be ready for the twisty in 2 weeks ! -B.

Who's planning on coming? 5 or 6 CEG folks, and how many SHO people?

hey bw
on your orig. message you said the directions & meeting spot were on the other post. would you mind explaining to a computer morod where i can find that.
thanks. looking forward to this.

I'll just post it here for you, but for future reference there a numbers at the bottom of the page. As post start fading in popularity, they fade into the abysmal and dreaded "Page 2" and so on.

The canyon run is laid out : We will leave Pueblo as close to 10am as possiable, be there early ! To get to the meeting place in Pueblo take : I-25 Exit 102 ( EagleRidge Blvd.)Far north end of town. Go West pass I-HOP to gas station on right side of roadway. we will meet here.
We will exit Pueblo on Hwy. 50 to Canon City (The most boring part of the trip.)Then, we go through the Salida Canyon (fast twisty area.)
We then turn off Hwy 50 at Texas Creek, to Hwy 69. (open your car up and see what it can do area.)all the way to Westcliffe, CO.
We then get on Hwy 96 and head toward Hwy 165. (Hwy 165 has the best twisty on the whole trip.) We will stop at Bishops castle to rest the cars, and take pictures of this great castle.
We will continue down Hwy 165 to San Isabel Lake for lunch.
After lunch we will back track down Hwy 165 to Hwy 96 again but this time we take a straight shot to Pueblo through the remainder of the canyon.
All in all should be close to 5 hours of Twisty fun ! Add in the time it takes you to get to Pueblo, and that's a good days worth of driving. Look at www.mapquest.com and follow the directions given here. You will then know where we are going.

Glad to hear that you are going to come. I will add you to the list. I am talking with the SHO club of Denver and setting up a meeting place up there, so all of you can drive down together. This will make the drive down much funner and faster I will post the spot as soon is one is agreed upon. See you all soon. -B.
