Elite  2791     Denver |  Subject: 3/27/2011 Rockin' La Sandias...Notice how I like to make sure I'm adding the year on the date of these runs? Just to make sure we're all on the same page?  So over mimosas, it sounded like we were leaning towards rotating locations between central, south, and northwest, so I propose we do our run this time starting at La Sandias in Park Meadows mall, DTC. Travis made it sound like we could link up with the 470 trail pretty easily from there. Who's in? Run, then margaritas and GUACAMOLE!!!! |

Master 1402 Highlands Ranch | Subject: RE: 3/27/2011 Rockin' La Sandias... Sorry to have missed today's run, other issues ruled the day... while I will never stand in the way of Margs and Guacamole, there are several nearby meeting locations that provide access to 'better' running trails, IMHO. Options include Highlands Heritage Park at Lincoln/University(selfishly close to both me and Kath2163), Bluffs Regional Park off Lincoln/Yosemite, and Rocky Heights Middle School at Monarch/McArthur Ranch; all three are conveniently close to the Park Meadows Shopping Magnet and provide lots of options for trail, dirt/gravel road, and paved trail. Thoughts? Opinions? Edited by StMaas 2011-03-20 8:37 PM |

Master 1402 Highlands Ranch | Subject: RE: 3/27/2011 Rockin' La Sandias... Just curious about the Park Meadows choice...I liked La Sandia when we went there, nice patio and all. There are a few other Marg spots close by (Brewery Bar III, Rio Grande, Los Arcos) that don't require wading into the mall, and are also a bit more 'budget friendly'; but if LS is a favorite, or there's a Tequila Bar requirement, 'nuf said. And about that pre-marg run, any thoughts re: distances, terrain, etc? |

Member 220 Denver, CO | Subject: RE: 3/27/2011 Rockin' La Sandias... I think the patio was the appeal, IIRC...although my brain may have been a teeny bit mimosa-infused during that discussion. I'm good with anything, honestly. I'm a broke student, so cheap(er) is better for me, but I can/will budget it in as necessary. Same for the run...I'd like to do at least 8-10, other than that, no real requirements for me! |

Master 1402 Highlands Ranch | Subject: RE: 3/27/2011 Rockin' La Sandias... If folks are agreeable to meet at the south end of the parking lot at Highlands Heritage Park , there are three trail options from there, each with slightly different terrain. Form the one mapped in this link, after that first 1.5, there's options for hills (Bluffs Regioanl Park), single track trails (Wildcat Reserve open space), or more conventional routes, anywhere from 4 to 10+... |

Sounds good to me! La Sandias was just a starting point, mainly because the view from the upstairs patio is unbeatable. I have absolutely no familiarity with any part of Denver, so I'm pretty useless when it comes to location suggestions, so whatever you guys come up with is awesome. Let's go ahead and plan on Highlands Heritage Park at 10AM, be there or be square. |

I'm in park hill. it's not a matter of the the drive, more the time commitment. sundays are busy with the wife, kid, and fam so losing an hour to a round trip is hard. my bad for mising the run last week that was just around the corner from me. thanks for the offer though 8-D |

We'll be rotating locations, so most likely we'll be back up at Lowry on the next round. |
