Re: [emrat:8523] CHUCK FERRARI RIDE IS A GO - SUNDAY APRIL 10TH

Thanks for carrying this on every year Martin. Chuck was unique and I'm glad we got to harass each other.  He always made things just that much more fun when he was around. 

By the way, you missed out on some good BBQ in the Springs. My advise to everyone is that if Tomas wants to lead you to someplace to eat, FOLLOW HIM!

Just want to say thanks again for everyone who came out to honor Chuck's memory with a ride to benefit the Colorado Humane Society. 

Our "stats" were:  13 riders departed Morrison, two peeled off at Woodland Park and the remaining 11 rode all the way to Skyline Drive where Larry met us, so I'm counting 14 participating riders.  It was an amazing ride, despite being a little chilly between Pine Junction and Divide/Ute Pass, but after that it warmed up nicely!  I got about 10 minutes of rain coming over the Palmer divide on my way home but other than that the weather was perfect, which is nice after our two weather-related postponements! 

We raised a total of $300 and had a great ride to Skyline Drive.  I'll post a separate message with the photos and they'll be posted on the Facebook group as well.  Thanks to Manuel for getting this on the Facebook page schedule and special thanks to TK for sharing a couple of great photos of Chuck. 

Take care and ride safe!

  The 4th annual Chuck Ferrari Memorial Ride is a GO for Sunday, April 10th. 

We will meet at the Conoco in Morrison, kickstands up at 9:00 AM.  We will ride to Woodland Park on CO-126/CO-67 and then ride down through High Park ending up in Canon City at Skyline Drive.  Ride time from Morrison to Canon City should be ~ 3 hours with a fuel/regroup stop in Woodland park at the Conoco on Highway 67 just before it hits US 24.  Distance from Morrison to Woodland park is about 70 miles and distance from Woodland Park to Skyline Drive is about 60 miles. 

Right now the weather forecast is for partly cloudy skies in the morning with a chance of rain or thunderstorms later in the day, so bringing rain gear is advised.  High temp Denver is forecasted as 69, high in Woodland Park is 61, high in Canon City is 76. 

Highest altitude on this ride will likely be around Ute Pass / Divide at about 9100' so be prepared for cold temperatures.  We should get to Skyline Drive around noon, and there are a bunch of places in Canon City for lunch.  My portion of the ride will end in Canon City and at that point people will be on their own to get back home. 

Bonneville Bob Tapper rode part of the route last week and confirmed that there will likely be sand in the corners, so watch out for that. 

I will be taking donations for the Colorado Humane Society, which was one of Chuck's favorite charities, and they do lots of good work.  I will take the donations over to the Humane Society some time next week. 

If anybody's got any questions, please let me know.  If I can get a tentative head count that will help me make sure that we have everyone with us when we gather in Morrison.
