    Default Pole Hill/Pierson Park



    Name of Run: Pole Hill/Pierson Park
    Date of the Run: Friday, Sept. 16
    Meeting Time: 9 a.m.
    Meeting Place: Diamond Shamrock outside of Lyons, 4206 Ute Highway (Colo. Highway 66), just past U.S. 36 on the left
    Directions: From Denver area, north on I-25, east on State Highway 66 (second Longmont exit) to Lyons; you can come up U.S. 36 through Boulder as well, then take a left on 66.

    CB Channel: 4
    The Plan: Head up to Pole Hill Road first and do 122 and the 122A loop, then head over to Pierson Park and run it from Estes to Meeker. These are easy to moderate trails, but fun.

    You need to take a day off once in while, Brad.

    I guess it'll just be me and the girls (c'mon, Robyn, where are you?). I guess I'll survive.

    so on the 122 loop are we also doing the 247? then back to the 122?"

    Now why'd you go and edit out that lovely comment about the back end of my rig? (Yes, I was just going through emails; the notification for your post was the original version. Ha!)

    Since Jackie's not going and it looks like we have more time, we can do the 247 loop as well, if you want to. We can also do the loops on Pierson and go climb the big hill.

    Man what tough luck you have. I hope you can survive!

    Maybe I'll call off dead from work and join you.

    Dang, Robby, you messed up the boy/girl ratio.

    But it'll be good to see you and wheel with you again. It's been a long time.

    If only missing school were so easy, calc is a PITA to make up.

    I might take Saturday off work and go do something. I'll post in the planned trail runs if I do, I'm thinking something challenging to really test the new meat. Or maybe I'll joint the monster middle st. vrain/coney flats group run that again.

    I might be able to tag along, but probably wouldn't make it to Pole Hill before 9:30-10.

    "OMG yea..I made the mistake of registering for that in college..I do have some books still..we can do the equations over the cb while on the trail! "

    I bet people would just LOVE that. Or we could have a secret CB math channel, like channel derivation of x^2 @ x=4.... man I'm a nerd...

    Impact of 4 wheeling on the environment.... that would spark some debate.

    Stephen, these folks are meeting at the Diamond Shamrock at 9:00. You will probably beat them to the trail head....

    If you head up to Pole Hill, get to the first Y and try to hail us on the CB, channel 4.

    I would suggest just getting a regular mounted one verses the hand held, most of the people I know who have those, have a hard time with reception.

    If I recall correctly your leader on this run had one, it's still unclear if it was the CB's reception or his "reception" that was the issue. Best not to distract him anymore than you need to anyway, you guys could be out there all night.

    i was thinking about getting a handheld and then an external antenna, but after looking at price i may just get a regular mounted one, any suggestions on where to get one? i wish i could get one i could plug in and out of cig lighter because i hate wiring, maybe ill get someone to help me
