• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Sounds like fun and after living in the front range area for 18 years would love to visit again even tho we were just in Durango last year. Have to look at Hubby's work schedule tho. Thanks for the invite. Penny:ani29:
 
Pike's Peak?

This looks like a good place to ask this question... What are the Pros and Cons about ryding Spyders up the road to Pike's Peak? I drove it by car and the surface was not paved but was hard-packed and smooth, and didn't seem to have loose rocks that would move around much, if I recall correctly. It was in the early '90s.

How about it? Opinions? Experiences?

(I'm not suggesting you change your itinerary, just asking for future reference.)

Thanks! :bowdown:

The road is nicely paved all the way to the top now. Our group actually had a ryde to the top scheduled for yesterday but we rescheduled it due to a forecasted high of 30. We are going to give it another try later in June.... Come on out and join us.
