Default Thunder in The Rockies

Anyone going? Or been previously?
I am thinking of heading up but won't bother if it sucks...

No machine guns (thank God). It is an okay event. There are a few vendors, bike show, and lots of people mingling around. It is free and the weekend will have good weather. Why not ride up and have a nice time.

Midget wrestling. Not a drop of shade for fifty miles. I'd pass and ride west into the mountains.

Yup, that is pretty much the size of it. Went last year and stayed only a few hours. You can see everything in one afternoon. Not mindblowing, but a good way to spend the day.

Kinda lame as far as rallies go but it's local and it's something to do.

It's ok, probably worth the 40 mile ride.

Cheers,

Thought it was pretty crappy last year. If you've never been I would say check it out but you won't need the whole weekend, perhaps 2-3 hours unless you are going to check out one of the concerts.

Edit: This should probably be moved to the Mountain section of the board.
