Flexible Mobility

Back at home in the mountains of Boulder it is snowing like crazy this Sunday evening... though it was in the 60s when we dropped Zippy at Gebhardt BMW on Friday morning for some quality time with his brethren. 

This weekend Laura and I were set for an adventure to Moab for the Red Hot 33k trail race so we decided to inquire if Gebhardt was participating in the i Flexible Mobility program. Per the usual, the team at our relatively small Boulder BMW home is out-in-front - even though this program is optional for BMW dealers they already have it going and were happy to accommodate. We dropped Zip on Friday AM and hopped into a 2015 328xi - and off to Moab we went. 

Before concluding this story - sincere thanks to the Gebhardt team for embracing the comprehensive program that BMW NA is designing in order to enable true adoption of EVs in the US... and for contributing to a great weekend for Laura and me. On Saturday morning Laura completed not only her longest race ever - but her longest run - almost 19 miles! And one year after crutching my way to the start line to watch two of my dearest friends (Andy and Peter) start the race I should have been running if it weren't for my recently broken leg - I ran too... and finished 15th.

So that brings us to Sunday. A drive back over the Rockies, into snow by Dillon and even harder snow upon arriving in Boulder. After dropping the 328, we were re-united with Zippy and drove back home with the temp dropping from 32 to 22 by the time we were home and "awesome" roads as we drew near :)

Gebhardt - ya'll are the best. We hope you will have us again soon when the open road calls.
