Default Dragon Run Thread

Hey Guys,

It looks like I have a legit date to be home so it’s time to start getting a roll call going. I understand this could be a Regional thread but more people hang out here.

The plan is to be in the area from 2-4DEC. I’ll probably be up on the 1st to putt around but we can see who would like to partake in the event. @GC996 mentioned some really nice adjacent rides that can be included. What say you all? I’m open to suggestions. An asterisk by your name just means you're still a "maybe". There are couple dudes I follow on IG that are semi-local(right now that number is 2).

Just wanted to say thx to the guys that put this together. All i had to do was show up and drive and man did we drive. I burned up about 23 gal of fuel in about 8hrs on the road. @TheChunkNorris picked an excelant airb&b and @158Sierra (and wife) did a kick butt job of leading the pack. The group was rounded out by @Justin76 . You guys that didnt make it missed a fun ride on some great roads even though it lightly rained most if the day. At least there was no traffic and not of us had any drama with our cars. I even surprised @zbomb and let him drive the last leg of the trip, the tail, to be honest it sucks sitting passenger in your own car . We rounded out the evening with some good food, beer and conversation.

I would like to attend. I’m bad at scheduling but am a very solid maybe.

As an aside, I love this idea.

I'd really like to make it, but I don't know that the timing will work out for me. I'd put me at a solid maybe as well.

Sweet and hopefully your schedule opens up.

Perfect and I’d like to Pikes Peak in 2024 so this isn’t going to be a one time thing.

Ha absolutely, I'm purposely not getting it clear coated until after the run so people can check it out.
