First thread for me! Pretty active over at subaruforester.org and ORS.org as well, figured I'd throw this up here.

 

Planning a get together via SF.org if anyone is interested in attending. I don't usually have anyone show up, but hey it's still fun for me!

 

Will be hitting trails suitable for a stock Forester, offroad tires would be helpful but not required. There are plenty of offshoots if those more capable want to have some more challenging fun. I don't recommend anyone go out in a stock height vehicle without underbelly protection, but I will leave that up to the attendees. Some good spotting and we will keep your belly safe if you don't have skid plates.

 

Date: Saturday, June 27th

Location: Central City

Time: 11am

 

Eat breakfast before you come and bring a lunch. If you plan on bringing dogs, let me know so I can leave mine at home (I have one that is pretty dog aggressive).

 

I will update this thread the week before with an exact meetup location. I need to go wander around Central City to find a good spot for us to group up.

I might be up for a trip up there. My gf has to work till 12 is the only problem. I could leave boulder by 12 for sure so that might push back your start time. Let me talk with her and ill post up some more info, prolly camp up there too. We could meet near the cementary, or go up the mammoth gulch side.

You and your girlfriend might be the only subies besides us, another friend with a Frontier might be joining us too. I'm thinking the cemetery is a perfect meetup if everyone knows where that is.

 

Not familiar with mammoth gulch (new to the Denver area), you'll have to show me.

Mammoth gulch is the same area but you stay on apex road till further up, then take a left. I think mammoth gulch is better than central city side, but its all good and all connected.

Roll up thru apex? We've been up there, but was earlier last month and everything was still snowed in.

 

I'm definitely down for some new trails for those that know the area.

 

I'm running an '03 XS Forester, 2 inch lift, no sways, AT tires and front/rear skid plates. Only trouble I get into is that my car is a manual, so without low range I have trouble doing tricky steep slopes where I can't get a run at it.

 

My buddy's Frontier, if he comes, can handle more than my Foz can, so I'm probably the weakest link.

Have you been to Bunce school road yet?

Only areas I've tried near Denver so far have been off the Campground Road above Central City, and up a Forest Road off the main pass road above Georgetown (didn't get far up there cause of snow). Lol I need to start learning all these names!

Too sore right now to join in but come back and post next time you are going I will try go drum up a few older Subaru's to come along.

Alrighty, I'm headed out in the morning for a motorcycle trip to Virginia, I'm planning to be back on the 22nd, but might be back on the 23rd.

 

There is a rafting outfitter at the base of the Central City Parkway with a nice big dirt parking lot. It'll be on the right as you come under I-70 on the Central City exit. I'll be there from 11-11:15am, then will head up to the cemetery. Bigo, I figure we'll meet you there. Looks like probably an Outback, and Outback Sport, maybe a SF Forester, a Nissan Frontier, you and me.

 

IF YOU HAVE 2 WAY RADIOS PLEASE BRING THEM!! Will make this much easier.

 

 

 

Bigo - pm coming your way with my phone number.

Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow Bigo. Will probably hangout at the meet spot at the base of central city parkway until 11:30, then head up to the cemetery to hook up with you.

I just saw this, i totally forgot. My bad. How was it?

That's alright, didn't see you up by the cemetery so figured you weren't able to make it. Would've been nice to meet you! We had a good time, had some offroad newbs with us with basically stock Foresters with skid plates, so you probably would've been bored. Report is here if you want to check it out:

It looks like you had a good time. PM me sometime and we can hit up bunce School Road, its near Lyons.
