Subject: [emrat:6541] Chuck Ferrari Memorial Ride Information. and headcount request...

Hi everyone!  As promised, here are the details on the 3rd annual Chuck Ferrari Memorial ride.

 

Date:  Sunday, March 15th

Start time:  Kickstands up 10:00 AM. 

Start Location:  Sedalia, CO, Sedalia Grille parking lot (note that the grille itself will be closed but there are at least a couple of gas stations nearby for you to top off, get snacks, water, restroom, etc.) 

Ride leader: Me (Martin Albright)

 

Our destination will be the Pueblo Weisbrod Air Museum located East of Pueblo.  The museum itself does not open until 1pm but I have arranged a tour for us that will probably take at least an hour.  My plan is for us to take about 1 1/2 to 2 hours to get from Sedalia to Pueblo where we will have lunch, and then head to the museum with the intent of getting there as close to 1pm as we can. 

 

Here is a link to the museum for those who are interested:

Address of the museum is 31001 Magnuson Ave, Pueblo, CO 81001 ‎

 

One quick question, can I get a headcount of those who plan on attending?  It would help me planning wise.  If we can get at least 10 people to go the cost for the museum will be a very reasonable $6 per person so I'd definitely like to get at least that many. 

 

The woman I talked to was excited to have us here and she says they love to have motorcycle groups especially if they include veterans and people with an interest in aviation.  Given that we're honoring the memory of an amazing aviator, I think the Pueblo Weisbrod Museum is an appropriate destination for our commemorative ride! 

 

As was previously stated, this ride will be to benefit the Colorado Humane Society, and I will be collecting donations to turn over to the Humane Society.  You can either bring cash or a check made out to the Colorado Humane Society. 

 

I'm still looking for a lunch spot, any suggestions are welcome. The one suggestion that has been made is the Shamrock Brewing Company in downtown Pueblo:

If that's OK with everyone I'll call ahead to make sure they have enough seats. 

 

Since we will be trying to make it to the museum at a specific time, we'll take a fairly direct route down:  105 down through Perry Park and then County Line Road to I-25, from there we'll actually stay on the interstate all the way down to Pueblo (yes, I know riding on the interstate is a drag but it's the best way to keep the group together.)  If we want to we can take a more scenic route back, perhaps going West on US 50 through Penrose and up 115 to enter Colorado Springs from the Southwest. 

 

Email with any questions and if you need to get in contact with me on Sunday morning you can always text me at 303-482-7848.
