I live North of Denver and the local kite group has not shown for two of the last two get-togethers.

So what that it was 30 degrees...I was out there for 6 hrs and had a BLAST.

Anyone want to come play with me???

There is a kite retailer in Boulder.  You might want to check whether they sponser or host any events.

The website for the Foothills Kite Club is here, but outside of monthly flies, their first event is listed as April 10th.

The Rocky Mountain Kite Association is located in Golden.  Their website is here, but it is a tad disjointed.   If you have an account, you might have better luck on their Facebook page.

Denver is also the home of One Sky, One World

There are about 40+ AKA kitefliers in CO, you might want to introduce yourself on the AKA public forum.

So far there are only 3 CO kite events listed this year:
04/10/2010 8th Annual Arvada Kite Festival at Robby Ferrufino Park, Arvada, CO, USA
05/01/2010 Fort Collins Kites in the Park Spring Canyon Park, Fort Collins, CO, USA
10/10/2010 ONE SKY ONE WORLD Stapleton Central Park, Denver, CO, USA

ATB,

I'd love to "come out and play" but ski season is my busiest time of year. I rarely get to Denver any more. Still knee deep in snow around the house - and it's been a light year - but I did manage a nice hour on my Revs a few weeks ago in Ft Collins.

Check out the ideas Sam offered. I can give you a contact in FC if you'd like, but he flies mostly indoor in the winter. Arvada is coming up and I'll be in FC May 1.

Send me a message.  I live in Fort Collins.  Fly just about every day.  Always looking for flyers.

I've been rather disappointed with the Foothills Fliers.  I called the guy up and he laughed at me when I asked him if he was going to fly that weekend.  Not a good way to start a relationship.  Oh well...it might be better once I meet him.

I am planning on the Arvada festival (since I work 2 miles from it).  Again, I sent a message to the Foothill fliers offering to help with the April 10th thingie but did not get any response yet.
 
I am planning on the Fort Collins flying.

I am waiting on the One Sky / One World to announce when they will be meeting.

John...I will be taking you up on this!  Are you available Sunday morning (3/21) or maybe Saturday (3/20)?  Is there a good place in FC that you visit?  I live in Frederick which is East and slightly South of Longmont.  Prob a 20-25 minute drive to FC.  As I said, I went to the Longmont park on Sunday and had a blast (abiet by myself).  What do you say?

I believe Bob Matteo is somewhere North of Denver.I;m thinking he is in Steamboat what thats some 150 miles north of Denver right?

[thief]

bob is Mtnflyer.....and yep he is north and left of denver a bit...in a beautiful little valley

[jeepersjoey]

John and I have connected and plan on flying on Sunday.

I appreaciate the name of MtnFlyer but Steamboat is 2.5 hrs away from me.  It is WAAAAAAAAY up in the Mountains.  2 hrs West of Denver probably.

[jeepersjoey]

John and I connected for an 8 hr day of flying.  I had fun...but I think I wore out his vocal cords with the number of questions I asked.

What a great day tho!

[fidelio]

that's awesome. it's so nice to have someone to fly with.
