I got there late like 8:33 and I didn't see anyone, so I rushed to Highland Valley then to OJH and gave up at Santa Ysabel and headed home through Sunrise Highway. While I did have fun, I truly missed you guys.

gameson · 08-12-2007, 02:18 PM

No worries, you probably missed us by seconds because that is about the time we left. I took the small group on a slightly different run, starting with palomar so we drove by highland valley in the morning but we didn't actually drive on it until the end of the run

Hayseed · 08-14-2007, 04:38 AM

For those of us not going to the Historics; I'm going out Saturday morning (got a Padre game Sunday). If anyone wants to get out on Saturday let me know. I'm flexible on meeting place, but I would like to get going early.

Went out Saturday at 0700, did the usual Mesa Grande/Palomar run and coincidently ran into Shinoo and Neal from Sector 111 on the top of Palomar. Shinoo had his Ariel Atom and Neal was in the Spider/Stripper, all sixteen hundred pounds of it.

I talked with them for a while about superchargers and CARB certification before heading home through a CHP-infested Mesa Grande. No ticket though, they didn't hear me coming and were aimed in the other direction. I'm definately keeping the stock pipe.

dammit...I am new to SD, and miss out on this run, for not checking the forum

Would someone call me, next time there is a run? 310 924 4839. I don't have family/friends here, so Lotus is my life

CALtd · 08-19-2007, 06:01 PM

I am thinking that only week day runs are in my future. There are just too many donor cycles out on the weekends (according to U-T many are dying each weekend). If you want to do a run on Weds. I am up for it. I leave with the ET trip to UK on Thurs.

Mike, sorry I didn't make it up early Sat, but I was up late working on Randy's servers.

loanshark · 08-19-2007, 06:07 PM

CAL..wed might work for me. I will look at my schedule and post back tonight

I am a donor cycle rider...though I ride my Ducs at 5am or so, when the starbucks drinking, poseur kids are not out.

Hayseed · 08-19-2007, 06:18 PM

Wednesdays...Hmmmm? Not regularly but maybe occasionally.

Leaving early on Saturday, the roads were wide open and the CHP didn't make an appearance until after 1000. I still think that the weekends could be fun. We dont push it that hard do we?

If anything I think getting out earlier than the normal 0900 would make a difference on two fronts, Traffic and CHP. This time, moving my start time up to 0700 sure made a big difference in traffic.

Have fun in the UK...you'll be burning your greenbacks for heat. They're approaching worthless over there at the moment.

I'm leaving again for the Med on Thursday, so I'm out until Sep 4.

See ya when I get back.

Sector 111 Track day at Streets on the 7th?

Mike

loanshark · 08-19-2007, 06:21 PM

I just got back from Dubai/Qatar earlier in the summer. M-east is the place to be.

I am up for a 7am start on Sat or Sun, but trying to start that early on a work day, there is too much traffic. I am thinking more of an 11-1 lunch run.

Wife and I are going to France for the week after the UK trip and return evening of the 7th. Then I have regatta on the 8-9th. I don't really know if I will make the boat with Jet Lag.

That really depends on what your surname is!

Or the amount of green in your account or the Black Amex card

Randy Chase · 08-19-2007, 06:26 PM

I would be more interested in a midweek drive too. Specially if it is a smaller group.

*randy sticks fingers in ears and make a loud humming sound*

I don't want to think about that exchange rate.

p.s. At least it dropped back under $2/pound

I have never seen CHP on Mesa Grande before. About where on the road were they?

Shark4God · 08-27-2007, 05:27 PM

How many people going on September 2?

gameson · 08-29-2007, 11:25 PM

i m glued to my TV now every sunday morning, so unless there aren't any good soccer matches to watch, then I am IN...

Vantage · 08-29-2007, 11:33 PM

Tivo / DVR man!

gameson · 08-29-2007, 11:39 PM

i m working on it!! unfortunately living in USA, I don't have many channels to watch beside Fox Soccer Channel, and they only broadcast EPL. I like Italian league, so most of the time, i have to settle with Internet TV from Asia since those countries are the one that broadcast EVERYTHING, from EPL, Serie A, La Liga, everything imaginable.
