So Cal Canyon Driving

Sup guys!

Aight, I was thinking if any fellow Benzers (copyright...jk, lol) in so cal would want to go canyon driving. The place is called Glendora Mountain Road. Check it out at on google maps. Went there once and was really fun. Its quite a technical course with a lot of twists and turns


Plus, I havent met any of you guys in person and would be a great ice breaker...eh eh


Oh, I know it is hella short notice but I was thinking maybe tomorrow. If not obviously next weekend or when we get enough guys/gals to come out.


List.

It will be 40 miles from Best Buy to Glendora Mountain Road (GMR)

Damn! I love GMR. Calling MIKE/JOHN/MJ/FRANKNOW!

We should have a meet-up with everyone after you guys caravan from the OC. In-N-Out would be the best choice, since it's pretty much off the 210 and we can all head up after.

I'm down, just let me know if we're meeting up in Tustin or the In n out. I'm not familiar with either area--so what location will work better for me since I reside in Long Beach?

well, long beach in 20 miles north west of tustin. So its up to you if you want to caravan with us or head up directly...

the tustin location is right off 5 and jamboree if that helps you with your bearings...

or just get the directions from online and see what suites u best...both the address for in-n-out and best buy have been posted earlier

Hey guys. I'm a cyclist and I just want you all to know there are cyclist who ride GMR. When you all go for this drive. Please be carefull and keep an eye on cyclist on the road. Specially when they go down hill (cars coming uphill) It get's pretty technical and challenging handling those road bikes. There maybe times when they occupy the other lane.

Other wise have fun & be safe.
