Harv kindly organized a club drive for today. We met at the Denny’s in Boulder for breakfast and a mandatory drivers meeting. Most club drives are pretty casual – show up at the assembly point, perhaps hand out a short route description in case we get split up, then have lunch at some mountain restaurant.

This time, Harv added a little fun: four pages of detailed route notes full of interesting trivia and interspersed with questions. The team (driver/navigator) with the highest score wins a prize.

We had a nice group turn out – four Elises (BRG, LRG, black, yellow), a Caterham, a Miata, a Mercedes, and Harv led the way in his Porsche GT3. The route started up Boulder Canyon to Nederland, then down Coal Creek Canyon, up Golden Gate Canyon, down Clear Creek Canyon a bit, then over to Squaw Pass and finally to Jenny’s Restaurant in Empire for lunch and the all-important scoring of the test.

We generally like to find a scenic place to regroup along the way and also to get a group photo of all the cars. This time, all our regrouping was just beside the road so I didn’t have time for the picture. So no group photo. I did have Michael try to get a few shots from the cockpit, but those aren’t exactly ideal conditions. He got a couple of nice ones, but I need to give him a bit more instruction on how to use the camera 🙂

Note: if you order the pie at Jenny’s, be sure to share! They serve giant pieces.
