Ride the Rockies 2008 (September 13-14)
September 13-14 has won the popularity contest, so that date has been picked for RTR. Thanks for your input.
Now it's time to sign up. Since we'll be staying in 2 to 4-room units Will and I think it will work best to collect the money for lodging up-front (surplus will be returned at lunch on Sunday). That will save a lot of hassle checking in, reserving rooms, and insure against dropouts at the last minute increasing costs for everyone else. That is how Jeff B did it when organizing the first RTR and worked well.
So, to sign up this year of send me $100 via check or $103.20 via PayPal (to [email protected], extra $3.20 is to cover paypal fees). To get my mailing address, if you're not on the NSXCO email list, email me (NSX-related folk) or email Will (S2K-related folk). If you're only joing for one day (no overnight), this obviously isn't necessary.
As I receive your deposits I'll reserve the appropriate number and size of units. Most 4-room units have 1 king, 2 queen, and 2-twin beds...so if you're going to be doing RTR alone and don't mind sharing a room to save on room cost (or if you want a separate bed from the person accompanying you) let me know and I'll try to make things work out there (i.e. get you in a room with twin).
We're staying here (Champaign Lodge at Trappeurs Crossing Resort):

I haven't finished the route and Will hasn't finished the meal planning, but wanted to get the info about date, lodging, and sign-up out so peopls could plan.
If you don't know what RTR is it's essentially a two-day group drive through part of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The following posts have info from 2007 and 2006. It's not exclusive to NSXs - we explicitly invite the S2000 club, friends with fun cars, people with Integra Type-Rs who never drive them, etc.
Based on the feedback from last year I think 2007's version is a good template for this year's RTR, with some tweaking (per the same feedback).

Rough Cost Estimates:
- $100 for gas (600 miles / 25 MPG x $4.20/gal)
- $80-100 for lodging per bedroom (paid from your deposit to me)
- $40-120 for food per person (varies depending on each individual's choices)
