SoCal cruise through OC canyons...

Any interest in reviving the previously postponed SOC Cruise through the canyons of OC and lunch potluck?

Looking for tentative weekends in October...possibly the weekend of October 3rd or Oct 10th, 2009 (for starters).

The trip sheet will be the same as from "Arrowhead alternative cruise..."

Suggestions?

The 10th is better for me

El Guapo....I have a question.... With all the fires from earlier this year and the ones currently burning, I think us left coasters wonder, "What's Left???" Time for meditation, and several medicinal brews.....

Vince - those nerf bars were the missing element on your car. Looks pretty cool.

Leon - I wonder if we can time our run when one of those canyon pot farms go up in smoke? We can always re-name this the Burning Man Canyon Cruise...

The 10th works best for me too.

10th works for us as well.

I'll volunteer to ride in that one Jim........I'm just sayin.....

10th sounds like fun. I am going to the Ventura Show Oct. 3-4 .

Figures.. the 10th I'll be in Clovis, fresno for Dylans XC meet... Big time meet with big time runners.. Should be a fun weekend! You guys have fun too, and keep it under 100 mph..

David, your starting to bum me out...

Have to check the calender, maybe???

I'm in for the 10th! Should be done by then.

I'm liking the 10th, driving Dave's sister ship since he can't make it.

I like the 10th....Where do I sign up?

I can't make the 10th, my kid has his school festival and I have shifts that I need to do, enjoy... I'll catch you guys next time.

Seat Heaters in So. Cal....sounds like a big pussy to me...

It seems that Saturday, Oct 10th, is the target date for this cruise (start point midway between LA/Hermosa Bch and San Diego/Oceanside) and would allow everyone to get home around 4:00pm (or earlier).

Here is the tentative trip sheet;

1. Meet Saturday, Oct 10th, at 10:00am in Mission Viejo, Target parking lot on Alicia Pkwy exit (2 miles south of the 405/5 junction in Orange County). Those coming from the North (L.A.) turn LEFT onto Alicia. Those coming from the South (Sandy Eggo) turn RIGHT onto Alicia.

2. Leave Target parking lot at 10:30 driving through Trabuco Cyn, Mojeska Cyn, Black Star Cyn and Silverado Cyn. Drive time approximately 2 hours.

3. After leaving canyons, progress to Turtle Rock Park in Irvine for lunch (pot-luck or bring you own?). Plenty of shaded parking for Speedster group within eyesight of picnic benches. Lunch and games (Bocce Ball and/ or Bean bag toss for prizes).

4. After lunch in park (approx 1:30pm), continue cruise down Newport Coast to Laguna Beach. Group can then disperse after Laguna Beach with easy access to 5 Fwy (North or South) via Laguna Canyon Road (Broadway St. in Laguna Beach/Main Beach). Or, if you haven't had enough of driving your Speedster, take the Pacific Coast Highway towards your home destination.

5. The usual video journal will be produced by MUSBJIM/Pineapplehead productions.

As always, cruise suggestions/recommendations are welcome!

Peace - Out!

Just stick your feet in the wrinkles and pray for the seven second buzzer ~

Nice Mike... I like the sister ship idea..LOL... but with all due respect "Seat-heaters!" in Cali...LOL.. gotta love our west coast guys..

CRUISE ALERT!!!!

Due to mitigating circumstances, I must regretfully say am unable to attend the OC Canyon Cruise scheduled for Saturday Oct 10th.

If possible, can we move this cruise to the following weekend, Saturday Oct 17th (or any other suggested date for optimum attendance)?

Peace - Out!

17th works for me....

17th works for me too.

Robert - sent you a PM.

17th is great for me!

The 17th is a big event in Palm Springs...both a bike and car event, we may want to consider that....I will have Teri see what rooms are available thru our club (worldmark)....
I assume that Lake Havasu is cancelled for the time being...

yep, i havent had to get up there and my neighbor says the prop is not repairable. but im game for another newport beach cruise

OK, here is what I have....Teri reserved a condo at the Worldmark Wyndam resort in Indio. 3 bedroom sleeps 8, for the night of Oct 17th. It is a full blown resort with water park type pool area.
You can look it up on the internet...google worldmark indio
200.00 for the room split however many couples we have staying over.
After the Duffy ride, I don't know how close I want to get to Gerd, but at this point in my life I am willing to take the risk...

Palm Springs has a full blown Car/Motorcycle event that weekend...
If you haven't cruised in P.S. it is a great thing to do....

I have until Oct 6th to cancel the room....
Let me know if this sounds like something the group would like to do.
If not we can go with the OC cruise thing as originally planned...

Vince - we have another evening committment after the cruise on Saturday so we're unable to take advantage of that great PS deal. Maybe make it for another SOC cruise/event.

Sounds good to me....Palm Springs is always open for us, and we have been wanting to spend a few days at the Worldmark resort in Indio...
Looks like a cool place to stay....for cheap....
Maybe a November cruise.....

17th might work out for me here... no races ...yet..

I would love to do a run from OC over the Ortega Hwy to the Palms to Pines to Palm Springs. Overnighting would be a blast! I can probably talk Debbie into that. No Vince, not" Ol Debbie"! Set a date, I am there. OC Canyon run on the 17th is OK with me.

I will try to put something together for November, an overnighter in the springs...

Musbjim & Ginny would be in for an overnight cruise to PS in November. We have a bitchin route in mind for this ride to the 'Springs'!

So will there be an OC run on the 17th with some continuing on to PS?

The 17th is just the OC....I will put a P.S. trip together for November, but it will be an overnighter....

Sorry, But I have an appointment to go kill a Dragon's Tail on the 17th.

OK the 17th sounds fine. I am still sorting the little things out.
On Sunday the 18th there is the VW/Porsche swat meet in Pomona. Any members going?

Bill - hope you can hook up with us on this cruise next weekend (17th)! We should have a pretty good group and the weather should still be in the 70s! Hope you got your car squared away!

Peace - Out!

Trying to make the 17th but have a few issues to sort out since the '30 year old wonder' has been sitting for a year....nothing major...might have to get a new battery and learn how to do some quick math calculations while driving as my gas gauge seems to be permanently hovering around the half way mark...
