1st Annual MCBG Fall Drive & BBQ

October 10th, 2010
M Coupes - Poudre Canyon

The Coupes in the Canyon

As promised, there was just no way we  could hold ourselves to just one BBQ per year. This time, we included a drive too which will undoubtedly be part of every future BBQ. The day started early for Colby, Lindsey and Kevin who met at 10 AM in Loveland to start the drive up to Estes Park where Alex met them later. On their way back, my wife Jenn and I joined up with them at a little general store in Masonville from which we headed north on what most of us now call our new favorite road in Colorado: Stove Prairie. It was a beautiful day for a drive with blue skies, perfect temperature, and the aspen leaves turning a stunning shade of yellow. We probably would have appreciated it more if it hadn’t all gone by in a blur. After a “spirited”, grin-inducing drive up Stove Prairie, we breathlessly pulled to the side road where it meets up with Highway 14 in Poudre Canyon for a few photos. The group ended up including:

  • Alex’s 2002 Imola Red over Imola Red M Coupe
  • Colby’s 2002 Alpine White over Imola Red M Roadster
  • Kevin’s 2002 Alpine White over Black M Coupe
  • Lindsey’s 2000 Cosmos Black over Dark Gray M Coupe
  • Jenn and My 2002 Steel Gray over Imola Red M Coupe

Ready to Move Out

 

Jenn then took over driving duties in Colby’s M Roadster, so he could take some moving photos as we drove through Poudre Canyon. They started in the front of the pack and worked their way back getting photos of each coupe.

I had a tough time narrowing the photos down to even this many. The results are amazing:

Alex’s buddy drove his car back, so he was able to take some nice photos as well.
