2014 Cruise Schedule

[Vettezuki]

At this time not sure what we'll do this year. Both the Vette and Hello Kitty Miata are basically out of action and my time is crunched. We'll do at least a couple runs in the second half of the year.

[Shaolin Crane]

I'm feeling gassy, congested and some kind of way.

[firstshadow]

Sounds good to me, I miss the motorgen drives!

[blackax]

I should be down

[Darkstar]

Looks good. Itchin for a good cruise.

[BOOSTMONSTR]

Let's make it March 16th, so I can go. I'll be driving back from Seattle on the 9th.

[silvein]

I'm good for March 9th or 16th.

[blackax]

I'm ok with the 16

[Vettezuki]

If we do March, it will be the 16th as I'll be on a plane on the 9th.

[blackax]

How about this roue for the Cruise?

[kdracer73]

I'm out for Mulholland...

[Redondo Jon]

Me too, I’m out for this one.

[Vettezuki]

Ditching March. Don't have the time to put anything together.

[C5Natie]

I'm going to the SVT meet this Sunday but if anyone would like to go up ACH on the 16th I'm down. I've been wanting to go up there. I know it's scheduled for July but I can go every month. Lol. Also I'm always good for Supercar Sunday too. Just lmk if anyone wants to come along.

[Redondo Jon]

Hey Natie, do you know if ACH got any snow from this rain? Is the road even open?

I don't think ACH opens up all the way through until May at the earliest.

[Redondo Jon]

Well it’ll probably be the same bunch of us idiots who did GMR in the dead of winter. Actually, that was a pretty fun run.

Well I guess ACH will have to wait. GMR has no snow. Thats always a fun drive.

I don’t think my back can handle GMR at the moment; I need a more flowing road.

Looks good to me. Let's see if anyone wants to join like last time. Get a little group up there.

[firstshadow]

^ ditto. I'm down for that :)

[Redondo Jon]

Good. All we need now is a start-time & maybe a few more people. Also, we don’t necessarily have to start where this map says. We can always do what we did last time.

[firstshadow]

You mean at panera/the habit? That works good for small meets.

This sunday? What time?

[Redondo Jon]

Yes. I just pick that other spot on Oakwood because it’s very quiet & we’re left alone. Panera Bread has that parking structure where we were last time & that’s fine for our small group. Time? Well, I don’t care when we go. Hopefully Natie will chime in soon.

[BOOSTMONSTR]

So I guess there's no official March cruise... That's too bad, I just picked up my new ride.

[Redondo Jon]

No “official” Motorgen cruise but you’re more than welcome to join us for this.

[Redondo Jon]

Okay, meet up on the top portion of the parking structure behind Panera Bread: 990 Town Center Dr. La Cañada Flintridge, CA 91011 at 9:30 A.M. leave at 10:00 A.M. March 16, 2014. Sound good? :whistle:

I'll see if I can make it out

[Darkstar]

Im in.

[C5Natie]

Man I hate to do this but I'm out for tomorrow. Some last minute stuff came out and i gotta help my folks out. I was really looking forward to it too.

[firstshadow]

^ but tomorrow is Saturday and the meet is on sunday...

[DarkestSpade]

Darn, I could make it tomorrow but not a Sunday Cruise.

Have fun.

[firstshadow]

Well, looks like the forces are against me. I was lubricating my rear sway bar bushings and when I torqued the mounts back down, the studs were all stretching and falling off. I replaced all 4 of them and then when I put the rear of my car back on the ground, I somehow got a flat tire from a pin (while it was in the air???) :surrender:

Well, I'll aim for the next meet at this rate. Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong :sm_laughing:

[Redondo Jon]

Unless there’s some folks who want to go but just haven’t said anything, let’s scratch this one.

[silvein]

My life gets interesting, I stop paying attention here, and I miss stuff.

Oh well.

[firstshadow]

I've never done palomar - what is it like compared to mulholland, crest, and gmr?

[Vettezuki]

It has its own character. Mix of valley road leading up, tight mountain raods (slower than the ACH), great scenery, meadows on the backside coming down to the lake, and a good BBQ restaraunt at the end.

Unfortunately I can't do this, me mum is having surgery on Friday and I'll be looking after her that weekend. So this is not on the schedule. Updating OP.
