New Years Day- Los Angeles area TRE Motorsports Coffee and Bagels- drive afterwards

[TRE Cup]

We are sponsoring a coffee and bagels at our shop on New Years Day 7:30 am for the first 150 people. Afterwards there is a drive route suggestion if you wish- we are not sponsoring or administrating this, but offering a fun set of roads to follow.

Some common sense ideas:
Those wishing to arrive at the restaurant for lunch , in advance of others should leave at 8:15 am. Those wishing a more sedate drive should leave around 8:30-ish.
There is a large turn out area on Angeles Forest Highway (east of Mt Emma road) where we can all join together for pics.

If you come up on a slower car and wish to pass, turn on your headlamps and be patient. The slower car should acknowledge and wave by or pull over at the next SAFEST opportunity.

Be courteous to everyone as all it takes is one bonehead move to ruin it for everyone

I will post the suggested route tomorrow here. Please tell your friends- all makes of cars are welcome. Last year had about 120 cars.

The route goes over osborn /sand canyon to soledad
soledad to aliso canyon
aliso to AFH, then Mt Emma to Palmdale
Palmdale bl/ Elisabeth road to Lake Hughes
Lake Hughes to hwy 5 south
magic mountain pkway exist where there are several restaurants on the frontage road for lunch

So who is in?

That actually sounds like fun. I got family in town for the holidays . . . but maybe Junior'll join me.

Pencil us in.

Tony and Lois' Open House

I will see you in the afternoon, Marco. Thank you very much for the hospitality. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I take it you will be there at your parent's house, even though you are now located in Ducati riding heaven.

I've never attended this gathering before. I think I might give it shot. I'm assuming if it rains everyone will still attend.... What other tips do people have about this drive?

[Flieger]

Don't think you will be able to keep up with Dave for more than two turns. You will either be flying off the cliff or left in his dust.

[Chuck Miller]

All cleaned up, gassed up, and ready to go.... DOT's be damned .......

[TRE Cup]

With the ice forming on roads in the palmdale/ lake hughes area, a new route suggestion is posted on pelican. please refer to it , print it out so you have a copy. for sure, the Santa Monica canyon roads (all so cal canyon roads for that matter) will have debris and runoff. But the first route's ice challenge thrown in would not make for a fun time with all the cars and varied driver capabilities. We'll save that route for another time

See you in the am
