I have a feeling that this is going to become the cruise I look forward to every year. I loved it last year.:thumbs_up:
|
Sean, I have a few people that want to know the address for the "There's a McDonald's and Starbucks within walking distance of the meet up location."
Some of the LA people may want to meet up there, so what time would we estimate being there? |
UH..........Check the first post , my friend.

Alrighty boys and girls, we have a whole new ball game on our hands.
Hwy 2 just (literally 20 minutes ago) opened up all the way through. There is no need to turn around. I will map a route and test it, but we'll probably stop at the same place for a break, then continue on through and come return via Azusa. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la...,6585700.story |

Any mention of if you guys are stopping for lunch at that same place you did last year? Or are you just going to plow through? I think maybe a potty stop for those who need it might be in order...or should we just line it up over the edge of the cliff? JK |

I will be there. Will the guy with the Silver vert terminator be there? I would love to get SS396's newly upgrades 5.0, that silver cobra, and my vette to "pick the pace up" here and there.:drink:
|
Hey Carlos,
I believe you are talking about "Jose." Sean will have to update if he will be in attendance. I believe his screen name is silverterm something. |

For any of you guys that have video cameras (miniDV), PM me and I will give you a tape at the beginning of the run and collect it at the end. I want to get a lot more sources this year. :thumbs_up:
|
Man this looks like alot of fun. Count me in!!!!!
|
WoooHoooo! Let's do it....:drink:
|
Sean has floated the idea, and it makes some sense, of maybe separating into two broad groups.
I shall call them: Group A - Dukes of Hazard Group B - Driving Miss Daisy You get the idea. I know BADDASS wants to push a little. I push a little. Nothing so extreme or dangerously illegal, just a little fun. But some are just out for a nice relaxing cruise. What say ya'lls? |
Sounds good! Count me in group A. :drink:

Don't blame me! I will be well inside of the speedlimit. My goal is to enjoy the beutiful mountain scenery.:drink: |

Depending, maybe we'll even do three groups as I honestly think I'd fall somewhere in between. We'll see. Anyway, it's just an idea. You can get blocked real easy on these roads and there are often police looking for trouble makers, so there isn't going to be any Gumball action. |
I'll clean this up, but this is basically the route I'm thinking of taking. I will try my darndest to pre-run it and take notes for the day of.
C is where we had to turn around last time. It is now supposedly open all the way through. Unfortunately, that little connector right there to the 39 isn't open because that'd be bad ass. Still, the total run is about the same as last time in length (slightly longer) with no back tracking. Note: I map the 605 - 210 instead of 5 up to the 2 for two reasons. One) There is a lot of traffic going up through LA on the 5 so it's not much faster even though it's shorter. Two) it's much more motorcycle friendly because it doesn't have those crazy interchanges and nutty LA traffic. |
Seems like you're expecting a bunch of bikes with your posts....?
The 2 groups would be a good idea.. but i think it will happen naturally. I guarantee one group will be a good 10mins + ahead of the last person when we stop up off the 210 |

Carlos is right though. If you keep near the speed limit through the mountains, you're moving pretty good actually. A decreasing radius off-camber ascending curve is plenty fun at or (well below) the speed limit. |

Oh well. I did get a great view of ALL the other cars in my rear view mirror:thumbs_up:. I don't know what happens, but as soon as there was a slight bend in the road you guys were going so slow. |
