It's the end of August and that means the annual SCPOC Twist-O-Rama is returning for 2010.
This cruise is our normal end of summer event. It will see us travel through the back roads near Chula Vista, working our way up to Julian, then up to Palomar Mountain, and finally through Pala on our way to the dinner at Outback Steakhouse in Temecula.
The drive will start at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista at 10:00am SHARP! This means
DO NOT BE LATE or you will have to play catch up.
If anyone is interested in caravanning to Chula Vista and you're not already in the San Diego area, you can meet us at the designated SCPOC Orange County meeting spot [it's available on the club website @
www.scpoc.com]. We will be at the meeting spot around 7:45am and leave NO LATER than 8:15 am, to give us enough time to get there and gas up.
Itineraries are available via the club website and are in both
Microsoft Word format and
Adobe Acrobat format.
Please, it is important that you print out this document and have it with you on the day of the cruise. Not only does it have the schedule of events, but I've taken great care to have turn-by-turn directions with map pictures to help everyone out.
Take the time to read the first page of this document, as it has very useful information regarding conduct and the use of FRS radios. SCPOC strongly encourages the use of FRS radios with privacy subchannels. We use these radios to coordinate our group during club events like this one. They are relatively inexpensive and most come with the privacy channels. Also please take care to exercise courtesy when using these radios during an event, as they are for communicating important messages, not for idle chatter.
SCPOC also has some "rules of the road" that we follow during our cruise events as well:
- Limit your FRS radio communications to delivering messages pertinent to the cruise.
- We will have a maximum speed limit and it will be determined by posted speed limits and/or driving conditions.
- There will be no passing to move from behind a "slow" vehicle.
- No tailgating of any kind will be tolerated.
- This event is NOT A RACE. There are no points awarded, nor are there any trophies.
- Failure to adhere to the above guidelines will result in your being asked to leave the group.
We hope that you will have fun during this event and at the dinner afterward.
See you there.
