Just got home and unpacked...ready to go again way before 2012...but then again I'm a patient guy
I'm down.
Anyone wanna go to Ouray before then?
I'm in too. Fer - sher... [thumbsup]
Marco
I'm already planning for it, and I will bring some form of Italian motorcycle next year....maybe.
Next year...
I'm TOTALLY down for this bike/friend/booze/cigar/ankle-twisting event again!!!
(ok, maybe not the ankle-twisting bit...) ;)
This is my new cult gathering/vacation ritual!
(we just need a better 'Kool-Aid' is all... That drink @ the hotel is too sweet...) :P
Sorry for the double post guys, but I need to post this on several forums so I did a little copy/paste. DitR 2012 is only 9 months away, see you soon!
A Review of Ducati in the Rockies 2011
2011 was a great year for Ducati in the Rockies (DitR). Attendance was up and we saw several new faces among our old friends. We had approximately 70 people from seven states. The food at the Saturday BBQ was a huge hit, as were the Italian Margaritas served at the Best Western’s Tiki Bar. Both of these will be back next year along with some new ideas we are already working on.
Next year’s Ducati In The Rockies will be August 10th - 13th.
We’re already planning to make next year’s event even better. DitR has a new website with more photos, more detailed ride maps and the latest event information. Be sure to check out the new 10 minute ride video on YouTube showing a quick run to the top of Red Mountain Pass (Million Dollar Highway). We also have a new FaceBook page that will better serve our event.
Please contact us and let us know if you have any questions or comments.

You guys (meaning NMMR hooligans and friends) need to make that call....I'll be happy to try to facilitate.
Let me know [Dolph]
I vote for yes. Had an awesome time.
I'm gonna try and make it this time. ;D
I agree on the condos. We may have been in a separate one from yous guys but yous guys was fun to hang out with! And the food... [drool]
Hoping to ride the whole way out this year while Robin drives the support vehicle from Iowa.
My friend Steve has been talking to Titty about possibly dragging his band out to play both in Denver the Thursday night before and then Saturday in Ouray.
Good music and an awesome dude.

The weekend of Aug 10-13 for DITR is the same weekend that SMRI (Albuq) has a track day and race day. That would probably keep me, Scott and maybe some others from coming to Ouray. [bang]
Since it is very early in the planning process, is there a chance that the date could be a week earlier, Aug 3-6 or a week later, Aug 17-20, instead....?
I understand the implications for messing up the Mayan Calendar and the end of the world rituals..... etc.
Just asking... [bow_down]
I believe the date is firm...we have to book things a year in advance to lodging.
^ DDGM is right
Titty was already handing out card last year on the dates, its already pretty firm for the sec weekend in aug...I'm sorry guys :-\
... Thanks for doing a date check of the DITR event.
It was a long shot question, but worth asking.
Have fun..... [thumbsup]
Maybe get the SMRI day moved? :P

Ed,
Not good...Who will show the youngens up in Ouray without you?
Not to mention missing your guys performance on the track :'(
I would be happy to pass along my Ouray area route maps and secret locations for gas stations to anyone that would like these.
All this information is available for the price of one micro-brew at a suitably discrete location where the exchange can be made.... Use the code words... "Turbinator Glass"... 8)
SMRI has negotiated with the track for race dates and with other clubs for some equipment, so there is no chance of their schedule changing. As for racing... we will see if I can get a good track combination working for the two race bikes this year. The competition will be looking to gun down the skinny, farm kid riding the crazy mule up front... [laugh]
Scott may also have a few new tricks up his sleeve for the new season. I'm guessing that the new holes in his frame are for Nitrous lines. His passes this year should be spectacular...! [thumbsup]
So, my tentative start date for flight school is September 28th. However, they're telling me I have to put in a request when I want to check into Pensacola. It has to be sometime between May and the end of August. Long story short, I'm putting in for August 18th, but really they have the last call. We'll find out if I'm gonna make it to DitR or not.

The weekend of Aug 10-13 for DITR is the same weekend that SMRI (Albuq) has a track day and race day.
Actually, there's a track day on the 10th that I'm obligated to run, but the race day for August is on the 24th. That means you're clear to head for Ouray, Ed!
I'll see if I can get shed of this obligation, but I feel pretty guilty about asking.
Just got this email from Titty
"I just wanted to let you know that I talked to The Best Western Twin Peaks (BWTP) yesterday and finalized the hotel prices. The website is updated. Please visit it and let your people know.
DucMouse, your guys might want to jump on one or both of the condo deals they are offering.
The BWTP said that a few people booked before they left last year, and a few people have already called in Feb. Sounds good!"
But of course none of us really stay at the hotel, so I assume we will do the condo again....should we get a head count?
Here in the coming weeks we will start getting all the stuff together and arranged for DiTr....
But a couple of things I would like to bring up now and gets everyone's opinion.
1-Did you like the catered food?
2-how did you like the location? we got complaints that people didn't have a places to sit(but of course we can't please everyone) any suggestions on where we could do? I was thinking the park, but we can't take booze out there.....
Would be good if we could get an approximate head count and rooming preferences [Dolph]
Ro & I are IN, & we would prefer a room (private too...)
[clap]
I'm in. I'd prefer a room, but I can sleep on a couch if we're at capacity.

I'd like to go, I put in that I don't want to check into Pensacola until the 18th of August, but they might make me show up as early as July. More to come later. If I do go, I'd be just fine with floor space to pass out on, preferably a couch though. [cheeky]
how many rooms are there? i would like 1+anonymous

We had 4 private bedrooms last year when we rented the two condos.
I will check on availability and pricing next week.
Hey Scott, are you sure that you are looking at the right month on the SMRI schedule?
The SMRI website lists June as having a track day on the 10th and a race day on the 24th. But, in August the two dates are Aug 11-12.
That whole darned thing has changed since I last looked. The schedule was pretty liquid for a while but it's definitely solid now. Let me make sure, but if what's up now is correct, you're absolutely right.
Snaps! :'(
Confirmed, Aug 11-12 track day and race day. Damn.

Robin and I have the same condo we had last year booked. Trying to get confirmation from the guy who bought my Monster as to whether or not he will be going. If he does not, I will have a fold out sofa available for purchase...plus whatever breakfast Robin decides to cook.
So, word from my detailer is that I'm going to Pensacola June 15th. May not be possible after all for me to make DitR. :(

Put me down for one, please.
Preferably one of the double bedrooms, but I'll take a couch or floor space if it comes down to it.

Can do and yes Pam will be doing her thing again and is taking requests as well, assistants are welcome :D
I rented the same condos again and a head count with preferences would be helpful [thumbsup]
of course you know us 2 will be there [thumbsup] and we prefer a bed ;D
I'm hoping I can come, all I need is about a 5'7"x2' section of floor. :P
I'm in & a +1. This year, we'd prefer a room with a door. That closes. ;D
I'm in, as is Haddad from back east. Justin is still undecided ... But hopefully he'll relent [Dolph]
Two beds would be dandy!

no not just a Duc gathering, we welcome all people that love to ride and enjoy the open road [Dolph] but the majority of people are on ducs....
yes it is in Ouray..the price varies depending on where you want to stay. Typically a group of rent condos and it saves us money....But with gas prices the way they are...I plan on taking at 800-900 total (thats for matt and i) if you want to buy things in ouray it can be expensive.
we also get together on the friday before we leave (august 10) meet at the starbucks in Bernilillo at 630ish-with a leave time at 7am [thumbsup]
Hope that helps...
also pam will be in our cash car with food supplies. We buy the food here and just make it at the condo to save money. oh ya and bring cash with you because places only except cash( and to be on the safe side) you will also need a little cash for the group BBQ that we do on sat eve....
also guys I am working on an oline shop to set for people to buy shirts this year ;D
I will keep you informed when its up and running.....

Checked up on our reservations today and found out that we
are occupying Best Western units 7 & 8 instead of Alpenglow 14 & 15 which I requested
since we enjoyed this set up last year. Seems like they failed to mention that last year's
accommodations weren't available when I booked on 3/12 and gave us similar accommodations.
The room and sleeping arraignments are identical minus two couches and the cul-de-suc parking.
On the upside, we have access to the hot springs, free omelet breakfast a la carte at the Best Western dinning room, housekeeping
Link: http://twinpeakslodging.com/rooms.html (http://twinpeakslodging.com/rooms.html) click on condominiums and virtual tour
Just a few steps north of where we stayed last year with access to the same hot tub and BBQ.

but there was so much room even for just us 4 up there.....
OK...I am confused. The condos you ended up with are the same complex as the Alpenglow or at the Best Western complex?
Just trying to see if we are going to keep our condo on the cul de sac or switch it up to the hotel...
Best Western is a sister to the complex. We will not have the same condos "Cul De Sac". Same building just different units.
After thorough investigation and resources used that required me to commit to a blood oath, I now see what you mean.
And no reason why we can't lay claim to the cul de sac yet again this year. I mean what's to say I didn't bring 20 or 30 bikes myself? ;)
Thanks Matt.
Anyone looking for a place to crash at Ducati in the Rockies this year? Robin and I have a fold out couch available for $75/night. Let me know. Breakfast from Master chef Robin is included along with whatever beer and beverages find their way into the fridge. We will be staying at the Alpenglow Condos about 3 blocks from the epicenter of festivities at the Best Western.

Chris & JJ,
We have only floor space left. My recommendation would be to get floor space in the two bedrooms with the twin beds (currently occupied by Scott & James and Ed & Haddad) so you don't have to sleep in the living room, which adds a little more privacy.
Let me know if this works for you.
Absolutely...works for me! Thanks [thumbsup]

My bad...I read it as you needed all 3 days. We need someone for all 3 or not at all hehe
Karl/Krystal,
DITR is on August 10-13. Based on our plans to leave on two wheels from the usual Bernalillo Starbucks, how many working days need to be vacations? Are 10th/Fri and 13th/Mon sufficient? Are we leaving on Friday early morning and returning by Monday evening? [Dolph]
Thanks! About time to notify the bosses...! :P

Quote from: ZILBERT on June 18, 2012, 08:26:57 AM
Just trying to nail down a roomie. $75/night gets you our sofa sleeper plus breakfast. You can pay us when you get there but I want to get a commitment from someone so the wife unit stops hounding me about a roomie. lol
Do you still have me down?
Sorry dude. I hadn't gotten confirmation from anyone so Dirty Duc committed.
If you can't find anything else, we do have floor space available and I can bring a queen sized pillow top air mattress with us. Floor space is like $25 a night (even though the wife hasn't given the OK yet...)
WTF
hey chris I thought you were staying with us in the condo?
Quote from: cb_abq on July 25, 2012, 05:48:31 AM
WTF
I just needed someone to confirm. And you went over a month with no response while I posted up asking for confirmation.
And it isn't like I just said you can sleep on the deck outside of the condo. I am offering a pillow top air mattress, a fridge full of beer and breakfasts that kill anything the hotel has to offer for $25 a night. So if that makes me a douchebag, then so be it.
T-15 days guys....
So just to make it clear I figured we would be the same thing as last year...
*Meet at Starbucks in Berna-illiilli-ooooo around 6:30 with a leave time of 7:00
*Go captured L'Scott and make him our slave
*Eat lunch in Durango at the same BBQ place (unless someone has another suggestion)
*Then crave the pavement like were Gods on a mission [evil]
Reach our destination and pull out the beers [beer] [Dolph] 8) ;D

Chris,
Still giving you first dibs on the air mattress but I need to know soon. Otherwise, Adam has a friend who needs space. I want to give you first crack since the other deal fell through.

Since I had several inquiries about location, accommodation and rates, here you go:
We are staying in Best Western units 7 & 8 at the corner of 3rd Ave and 2ND Str.
Rooming arrangements are as follows with the cost reflecting a 3 night stay, 2 breakfasts and dinners and several hang overs ;D:
Both condos have a master bedroom, a regular bedroom and a bed room with two twin beds.
Master bedrooms are occupied by Adam and Krystle & Matt (you also house Matt P. and David on the floor)
Regular Bedroom are spoken for by Ro & Stew, Pam & her guy
Twin beds are shared by L'Scott & Buckethead and Chris & Ed (you will also house JJ on the floor)
Jim, Kawa John, Jonezy, Marco and Scottie will utilize couches and floors.
Masters are $350, regulars $300, twin beds $150 per person and couch or floor is $100 per person.
Hope this works for you and please let me know in case I left anyone out.

Karl's sausage was impressive...
A little spicier than last time I had his sausage in my mouth. Good thing I was drunk. [coffee]
I was impressed with how firm yet yielding Karl's sausage was. And VERY juicy.
Thanks for noticing guys ;D [laugh]
We made it back safe, too. It was great seeing everyone. Robert was passing through Indianapolis the follwoing weekend with our bikes in tow as the MotoGP race was letting out. He called asking what was going on since there were sportsbikes galore on the road.
Congratulations, John and Angie! Didn't realize there was a wedding happening either. So happy for you!
Thank you, Pam, for the tequila lime barbeque sauce. As always, it was wonderful seeing you and Karl.
That was some of the funnest riding I've done in the last two years. I am so glad I was able to go. The roads were unbelievably clean. The best part was reconnecting with all my Ducati friends. Will post pictures when I can download them from my broken phone.
Bonfy: was Lance with you?
Of course! That little knucklehead would have pitched a fit if I tried to leave him behind. Will post a picture as soon as I get them off my phone.
