+ Carpool offers/requests

This Wed, 8/31, we will have a time trial at Green Mtn. Holding it on a
Wed allows us to to have a time trial while still having a more social
run on Thursday.

The time trial will start at Green Mtn, Rooney Rd lot, at 6:15pm. The
course is ~5km, from the Rooney Rd lot (actually from across the foot
bridge) to the Florida dirt lot, on the SE side of the mountain. The
course is on moderately rolling terrain, with pretty good footing. It's
a much easier course than Falcon. Although it's 2/3 mi longer, the times
are about 25% faster. After the time trial, we will do a casual, group
run back, either the same way, or one of the several ways over the top.

This Thursday's run is at Lair o' the Bear Park. The main group will
start at 6:20pm; the early group starts around 5:30pm.

The picnic will start at 7:30pm at the tables by the trailhead. The days
are getting shorter, so please time your run to be back by that time.
The course is out and back - generally uphill out and downhill back. So,
if you're planning to run for an hour, for example, please turn around
at 32-35 minutes.

The picnic is potluck. Everyone is invited. It's great if you can bring
food. It's OK if you can't. There's always plenty of extra for everyone.
It's a great chance to get to know the other runners. Things to bring
include: main dishes (e.g., pasta salads, chicken, subs), sides/salads
(e.g., salads, chips, fruit, dips), desserts (e.g., cookies, cakes,
pies), and drinks (e.g., sodas, juice, beer, wine). It would be nice if
a couple of people brought some substantial dishes (July worked out
great, but we had way too many sweets in June). Plates,
forks/knives/spoons, cups and napkins will be provided.

If you are new to this trail, please follow the link above to maps,
route descriptions, driving directions, and other information about the
DenverTrailRunners.

Tentative Schedule:
9/8: Apex

Tue morning runs continue at South Table Mtn (T=3, P=2, N=4) on Tuesday
mornings, 5:15am. You should bring a hand or head light for the start of
the run. Please see the message posted on Mondays, or contact Ray:
r2grundmeyer@...

Wed mornings, run stairs at Red Rocks. This is a "show-and-go" workout,
meaning that just start whenever you show up. People have been starting
anywhere from 5:30-6:30am. Is anyone showing up or should I drop this
listing?

The Evergreen Runners Circle (ERC) holds free runs every Saturday,
8:30am, on trails, in the Evergreen area. Several DTR regulars join
these runs. The ERC runs are typically about 60 minutes long. They
usually go out for coffee/breakfast afterwards. Please forward your
questions to Dave via the ERC link below. For more info about the ERC
schedules, go to: http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Lodge/7018/index.html

Schedule:
9/3: Genesee/Beaver Brook
9/10: Bergen Peak and Elk Meadow races
9/17: Evergreen Mtn from upper Alderfer lot
9/24: O'Fallon Park
10/1: Chief Hosa

I'd like to see if we can get enough people interested in taking a road
trip to the Silent Trails race, 10/8; in Laramie, WY.

The race is a memorial to 7 members of the Univ. of Wyoming
cross-country team, who were killed by a drunk driver, while driving
back from Colorado, in 2001. The race is 10mi, of single track trail, in
the Happy Jack Recreation Area, of the medicine Bow National Forest,
just outside of Laramie. Details at http://www.uwyo.edu/silenttrails

If we can get enough interest, it can be a lot of fun going to a race as
a group. Laramie is less than 2 hours from Denver, no farther than going
to Vail.

Let me know if you're interested.

Save gas. Save money. It's more fun to go with a group. Send me a note
if interested in carpooling to any upcoming events. I'll try to help you
find a driving partner. Please send me the information by the weekend
prior to the event.

Talon is looking to carpool to the Goblin Valley 50k race (see below):
"I would like to know if anyone is planning or interested in going to
this event. I plan on going and would love to carpool. If someone
would like to share a room, that would be cool too. I plan on going
down Friday and coming back Sunday." runtalon@...

Upcoming trail races and events:

* Imogene is full. If you're going, please let me know. We'll pick a
time/place to get together after the race. Maybe we can cooperate on car
shuttles the morning of the race, rather than relying on the busses.
