StallionProject86 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) So long time in procrastination I think there may be enough interest in a little tandem. Further consideration led me to believe Big Bear Mountain isn't really the ideal location. Glendora Mountain Road also referred to as GMR has been noted and now pursued..June 21st; meet by 10am @ the Starbucks on 1832 East Route 66 Glendora, CA 91740. There is also something in the works to be carried out near the end of the month of October with similar conditions so I can understand if you want to pass on this gathering..I'm mainly staging this so I and whomever else can get a feel for the pass and of course hang out, can never get enough of that. After or before we can grab a bite to eat preferably after so we can get to winding down but either way works for me we just need to decide here. Let's make it happen! State any additions or concerns you may have under this subject and we'll see what we can do. Attendants:1. Myself2.3.4.5.

tankbob Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Sunday is usually best for most people it seems, but any weekend day works for me. Planning a weekday might work if there are only a couple of us. Friday-Monday are my free days that I can request work off, other days I have school.

StallionProject86 Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Yeah I like Saturday or Sunday, I prefer Sunday more however as there's probably the least amount of traffic in terms of the weekend. Convette, as soon as you get a muffler and your glass tinted let me know I'll go off that along with weather reports to establish a day.

Guest Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Those roads are packed on weekends. Specially on Sundays. Alot of cops also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StallionProject86 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) Really? Last time I was up there I saw no cops. .maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. .well do you have any suggestions? I can't think of any other place with the scenery Big Bear has (with consideration to relative distance). Would you be willing to try.? If things don't pan out we'll reroute on the next one.

mistapickles Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Tons of CHP on Sundays...we could drive up but it wouldn't be invigorating.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankbob Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Ive done turnbull and los angeles crest, turnbull was EMPTY on a sunday but it is relatively short and not a whole lot of scenery. GMR is also an option but Ive never done that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StallionProject86 Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Tons of CHP on Sundays...we could drive up but it wouldn't be invigorating.... Okay well Sunday is definitely out then, I just assumed it would be less heavy then Friday or Saturday. I guess durning the week would be best in terms of population. But that's not going to work. Ive done turnbull and los angeles crest, turnbull was EMPTY on a sunday but it is relatively short and not a whole lot of scenery. GMR is also an option but Ive never done that one. Yea I would rather go to gmr. The reason I like BB though is once again for the landscape, eatery's, ect. I guess it just depends on those willing to go if you want more of a spirited drive or if your leaning more towards a cruise. I'm willing to do either.

Guest Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Big Bear and Angeles Crest National Forest roads are nice and twisty. They have great sites and the roads do lead to cities and eateries. Don't be discouraged by the cops and traffic. If you leave early enough, you can have a spireted drive here and there. Just gotta keep and eye for cops, Park Rangers and CHP. If you start at Big Bear, you can make it all the way to Little Tujunga Rd that dumps you into Glendale/ Burbank/ Tujunga and if you keep going, Canyon Country and Palmdale. It's a long haul, tons of twists and turns, ups and downs and of course, great sites. If you end up going all the way to say, Canyon Countr, there is a bomb BBQ joint and watering hole called Lucille's. Ya'll can wet your whistles and eat some really delicious BBQ. http://www.lucillesbbq.com/locations/valencia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont let me hold you guys up on this.Sure thing man. I have to get my sr20 radiator fabricated before this as well so no worries. I have updated the op once again and am looking at the first weekend in Oct so hopefully we can both get our work done in time.

MasterVivi Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hey guys, I'm totally interested in driving on Glendora Road, I really hope it will be a Sunday though (even though someone said cops like it) because I have Sundays off! Let me know further details. My number is (760)807-8342My name is JeffI live in San Diego, CA Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterVivi Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 And even though my quest will probably be the least awesome, and I'm the most newb out of us all, I'd love it. I'd love a chance to drive around with you guys and learn a thing or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StallionProject86 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) I'd love to go to Laguna such a distance though I need me a toy trailer just in case she breaks on me. Aha.And Jeff we'd be glad to have you, also from the poll count so far it seems like it will be a Sunday. Stay tuned.
