Been wanting to get together to drive up Pike's Peak near Colorado Springs, CO. Decided to do it later this season when the pass opens to take some videos, pictures, and meet some fellow enthusiasts.

WHEN: June 4th, 2006 (First Sunday in June)

WHERE: Top of Pike's Peak!!! Looking for a good initial meeting place for some initial pics and then cruising down I-25 to the exit heading towards Pikes Peak for a BBQ and more pics, unless we do lunch in the parking lot before the cruise.

COST: I called Pike's Peak (tours) and asked about a group discount. The original price is $10 per adult, or max of $35 per car. Our discount will be $7 per person - each person(car) has to stop and pay - sorry!

WHAT TO BRING: $7, Food for grill? drinks? (note: it takes half as many beers to get crunk at 14k ft... be careful, bring DD...), and your CAR!

As you can assume, ALL AUDIS, old and new, fast and slow, are welcome. If you are VW enthusiast and want to join in the cruise, help find some VDUBs to cruise with, as currently there are 7 times as many Audis going.

As of NOW, there will be for sure 21 Audis, 4 VWs (I was a little late including other German autos...) and a couple of trucks to bring up a BBQ'r and food/drinks, etc.

I know seven bucks is a lot to ask... =) but over a month and a half? - We'll likely be staying up there for a few hours - until we run out of air to breathe. Specific meeting times will follow in the next few weeks.

INVITE EVERYBODY YOU KNOW (that drives vw= of course)! ~ IT WILL BE WORTH IT!

P.S. Post a reply - or e-mail me (<-- preferred... melinkobq@myawai.com w/ Subject: AUDI/VW Cruise) and let me know if you can make it. Include your car yr/mk/mdl, as well as any suggestions.

I will be in Fiji during this event and will miss it as a result. Where are all of the Audi's coming from? Is it just one club, a bunch of clubs, or what? Also, have you considered Mt. Evans? It's the highest paved road in north America. Pavement might be appealing to some of us.

I tried organizing a Mt Evans drive about 3 years ago.. a much better option in my opinion.

Anyway in true 719 style everyone decided not to go the night prior and the morning of the drive :mrgreen:

No doubt, pavement is the way to go - they will be paving the rest of the 'course' in due time... unsure of exact date. Most of the Audis are local to Colorado Springs, and fellow friends of mine that have converted. 10 of the Audis are family/friends. ('93 S4, '00 S4, '92 S4, '91 200, '92 100, '93 100 CS - all in same family... '91 200 x5!! '95 S6, '90 200, '91 Coupe Quattro, '01 S4, '00 A8 - all close friends. --> Just recently posted in forums, hoping to get some newer models to join andmeet up.

I would really love to add my '00 A4 18tqm to the list, but I will not be in the state. :-(

I'll most likely be there

Scott · « **Reply #6 on:** April 18, 2006, 01:57:32 PM »

That is the same day as the exoctics show up in Denver, and the Junebug showin Golden. I posted the same thing on Audiworld too, but I hope you guys have fun.

The exoctic show is too cool to miss and Pikes Peak will still be there anytime.

I would be more interested in going if it wasn't for the dirt road... Not into cleaning my wheels after dirt roads... sucks.

Oh God forbid someone has to drive their car on a dirt road :roll:

SHOVE IT, PAT. I drive the Jetta on a dirt road TO MY HOUSE all the time, but if the wheels are clean I don't see a point in causing like two hours of work to drive up there.

If you refuse to get your car dirty... then meet up with us somewhere in the Springs for a quick photo shoot - then don't drive up the mountain with us for an awesome time, and then you won't have to spend two hours out of the year cleaning your rims... Sound good?

Jesus · « **Reply #16 on:** April 18, 2006, 02:36:16 PM »

Uh oh

Man, I hate making people I don't know all mad... he doesn't know me or my car or the truck... I don't see a good reason to take the Jetta up there and I probably shoulda just said nothing in this thread and then it would be fine... stupid me!

Melinkobq · « **Reply #21 on:** April 18, 2006, 02:47:22 PM »

I just think you should meet up with us before. We'll still be waiting a couple of hours before we go up the peak, so no worries. You should still come though, more th' merrier!

Well, your super friendly attitude in your last post has certainly encouraged that!!!

Darn, the real me came out, lol... Sounds good, I might come out before you guys go up, depends on what the other half says.
