Ducati in the Rockies 2009, The official thread

[Rev. Millertime]

Once again, we will be packing up and taking our Ducs to beautiful Ouray, Colorado for the 2009 Ducati in the Rockies.

What:  Ducati in the Rockies 2009
When: August 7-10
Where: Ouray, Colorado www.ouraycolorado.com
Why:  Because we can! (And it's great to meet, ride and party with other DMF members!)
Who: Anyone who wants to come!

As it says above, we will be heading to Ouray the second week in August.  Hotel information has been finalized and rooms can be booked immediately.

Hotel info:
Accommodations have been arranged at the Best Western Twin Peaks Lodge & Hot springs.  Price per night is $138.54 plus tax.  All rooms we have blocked off are double queen beds with mountain views.  The Best Western also puts their reservations on computer, versus the post it note reservation system we experienced in the past.  The hotel is also much closer to downtown Ouray, so the hike home after a night of adventuring will be a lot less brutal.

To get your discount, you must call the hotel directly and mention "Ducati in the Rockies". 

Best Western Twin Peaks Lodge & Hot Springs
125 3rd Avenue,   Ouray, Colorado, 81427, US

This will be my 3rd year heading out, and it's definitely worth it.  The roads around Ouray are a blast and the views are amazing.

There will be plenty of opportunities for riding with different groups going in every direction.  Make sure to bring your camera!  Of course there will be the Saturday night group BBQ and awards... Oh and cake too!

I have created a facebook group and website for information.

I swear, one of these years, I WILL attend...

otherwise I'll never hear the end of it from randy or krys

[needtorque]

Well, in a couple years when Im done with school and working again I hope this is still going on.  I've always wanted to see the Rockies and what better way then with a group that already knows their way around,

[swampduc]

Talked with Bick about it last night. Can't wait!   

[Scooter Montgomery]

Just lastnight I was thinking about trying to pick up a second job, for extra money. Now this comes along, again.

I guess i know what i'm doing this weekend, filling out lots of job applications.

Glad to see it hasn't died with TOB.

[El Matador]

Sweet!

To repeat the post I made in the NM thread,

"I would rather take speed and watch piranha eat my dick than miss this again"

[zarn02]

if the korean won doesn't nose-dive horribly, and i actually come home with enough money for a bike, i might be able to make it this year.

(if the won does go to shit, it's anybody's guess where i'll be and what i'll be doing in august... )

[Bick]

Glad to see it hasn't died with TOB.

Our hopes are that it will be back to what it was the first couple years, and continues to grow and get even better!

Hey..I just got back from the WPM that first year.  Hard to top riding in Italy.  I'll savor that one for a long time. 

IF..I ever get a chance to go to Ouray..it'll be cool.  If not..oh well.

No you won't.  You have a mortgage to think about now!   

and who's the lil'guy who always talks big about my living in a tropical island paradise?

don't hate me on, baby

[grandpa nate]

Hopefully can make it.  And hopefully the little wife will have her 696 by then.

[DuciD03]

Reverend:

Your too organized!  It's on my list of "go to" events; I'll conform closer to the date. 

Those intrested in going form the NW feel free to contact; I'm considering riding and or trailering and could handle a couple of bikes in an enclosed 6X10 Trailer.

[DuciD03]

Ho and also ...

I saw a vintage Ducati rally that was very cool; how can you / we incorporate a show & shine of vintage / heritage Ducati's and you'll get more intrest with that.
