57, I was thinking about it, but will probably go for a 3-4 hour ride with Missus Fender Bunny, instead.  Have you ever been there?  What do you think of it?

It's about a 20 minute ride from here.
Looks like about 30 to 50,000 are there.
Crowded.
Will be there everyday.

I live in Loveland Co. Crowd keeps droping each year. They need to stop charging to see the venders. No where near 50,000 people maybe 10,000. Todd and Shelly the owners of Thunder Mountain are really trying to make a go of it but I don't think it will happen.

Seemed like tons more were there than that.
I agree on your comment, charging to get to the vendors. That doesnt work for me.
The vendors at TMHD are upset that they are in the lower parking lot also. Should have bike parking down there.
The riders will still go into the store but the vendors will also get more exposure.
Many say they wont be back and Saturday they said they will be in the hole unless Sunday and Monday turn out much better.
With the weather, I doubt it.

I went on Sat. $10.00 to get in, $5.00 for an iced tea.  No wonder they aren't making much, too greedy. Spent all my money to get in and have a drink, so I didn't buy anything from the vendors.
