Whew! The weather gods smiled upon us today, and we all enjoyed a proper day of Classic Car motoring.

With an official winter weather warning looming over a short portion of the route, the day began with a slightly foreboding driver’s meeting. Were we destined for more of yesterday, or would today be better? Dave assured the group he had scoured the weather maps, and the route would be mostly below 6,000 feet. With Dave’s lucky flannel (ineffective on day one) retired for the weekend, we headed off and hoped for the best!

Today’s route started with roads that were all about flowing, swooping corners instead of arm-pumping switchbacks. It was a little more relaxed than yesterday, perhaps aimed at the grand tourers vs. the tiny sports cars. We explored abandoned mining roads, hidden farm-country access roads, and finished the day with an amazing mountain pass. Imagine, if you would, a bored road engineer who scribbled his idea of an amazing race track from point A to point B. The ambitious sketch was mis-filed, and Colorado ended up with our chosen pass of the day. As we enjoyed a post-drive beverage at the bar, we were struck by how the group is starting to feel like a close group of friends.

Sunshine (okay, brief sunshine), great roads and more importantly great people. Day two of the first ever Hagerty Silver Summit will go down in the books as a great and memorable day!
