Great Andrew.

I arrive in Denver at 4:37 on the 31st. If you are still waiting for the shuttle we can share a cab into town

Eric, revised flight times. I now arrive into Denver at 16.19 on Flight UA 336 so I might now meet you there and maybe grab a cab or shuttle....

Sounds great.

Bertier

shuttle is 27v US$, how much is a cab ride ?

Mike Lucey

I think I read its around $50 - 60 plus a tip (10% gratuity).

Tips in USA are 15% for service, 20% for good service and anything above for a services above and beyond (last part is normally reserved for strip clubs)

Geez.... I'll have to try and remember that, Pete!

Hey Basecampers,

Whats the weather going to be like during our visit to Boulder? It's winter here in Sunny North Queensland

A balmy 24 degrees C and I haven't seen a jacket for months....

Today was 32°c in Boulder, pretty nice compared to the 41°c in Dallas today.

liam887

16°c in liverpool and I even braved an outdoor pool today! Cant wait for some stateside sun I will pack my factor 50

utiler

Ok, so no Skivvy or beanie then.

Was there mention of a hike somewhere?

liam887

yeah google are supposedly sorting one out however I am going for one on the monday/tuesday or saturday day to here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flatirons_Winter_Sunrise_edit_2.jpg
if anybody else fancies it let me know ill sort something out. im taking my SLR and walking boots anyway

"he Flatirons on Green Mountain are within the City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks system. They are popular destinations for hikers and rock climbers, with rock grades ranging from easy (5.0) to world-class (5.14)."

5.14 pfft i can manage at least a 5.22!

32 centigrade is not bad (I mean not too hot) but how is humidity? As it's the easter side of the Rocky, I would expect it to be rather dry than humid...

BTW Andrew (and Eric), I (and Rich and Mike) will not fly until Sunday so eventually we can have some after-party on Friday...

Could be in 90's or there could be a foot of snow on the ground, that is what makes spring and fall so much fun here. Best guess is mid 80's in the day, mid 50's at night, but either of those could be 20 degrees off either way. (all temps Fahrenheit). It won't be humid.
