Vince - The Arrowhead Cruise is always fun, but you're right about the freeway time to get to the start point.
I'll draft another canyon cruise through OC (Trabuco/Majeska/Silverado) with a mid-day stop at a park across from my crib in Irvine. We can have lunch/drinks in a nice park setting with shade trees, then continue the cruise down the hill to Laguna Beach/Newport Coast where everyone can go their separate ways. Approximate drive time 4 hours (including lunch stop in park).
Ginny & I will be back from the Pre-Historic races/Laguna Seca by August 11 so we'd like to shoot for a weekend after that.
Any interest.....
