That Cruising Grand event in Escondido sounds fun, but for us, the southbound traffic coming south out of Orange County on Friday afternoons/evening (OK, most any day of the week!) and the return trip would be a bit much for us.
We look forward to another weekend get together with y'all! That last run was REALLY fun!

How about this Friday, June 1st?
Gerry...sounds good to us, I will call on some of the North County guys and see if they want to join in.~Esther
Cruising Grand is a great time! My son and I go up (usually with my PT, but also with my Speedster) to meet and look at some of the real antiques on wheels that are up there. Just a word of warning, unless you get there early (4:30pm at the latest!) the streets are filled. My PT club meets at the East end of Grand at a dirt lot which is usually filled with cars. There is also a bandstand there which plays as long as there is a crowd, too. I know you have to make reservations (but I don't know who you have to talk to, to do that) to get one of the side streets off Grand reserved. Lot's of car clubs do that, maybe we can as well.
If you go out the East end of Grand to HWY 78, and then head East, you go through a great valley which has the Wild Animal Park. A few miles beyond the WAP there is a little road called Bandy Canyon road which leads south and then west up the hill to Hidden Valley road. From there you can go clear into Romona/Barona/Julian via a narrow, 1.5-lane road that is ideal for Speedsters. It would be ideal for a summer cruise to go to Julian and then to Barona!

I must agree with Jim, that would be a great Cruise...
I lived in Poway for 10 years and cruised all the canyons in East county...the cruise spot back in my days their was the T-Bird diner.
Judged many events at Deer Park just north of Escondido....
Put something together for later this summer...

Ok...who will be going to cruising Grand tomorrow nite???? and where are we going to meet??? ~Esther
Hey Jim,
I thought Hidden Valley Road was my own proving ground. Along with lots of bikers! Ya gotta be honest with yourself on that road. The potential for expensive, unplanned bodywork - or worse - is always close at hand. I met a biker once, trapped about ten feet off the road, halfway down a canyon, and still upright. He could not get off the bike or he would loose the whole thing down the hill. We got hm out OK. Last time I swa him he was a the bottom of the road, siting under a tree, pondering his luck.
Cuyamaca is pretty great road road too, along with the back way off Palomar, via Mesa Grande Road.
