Here is the proposed route for the June 13th meeting. Edited 8:00 AM June 13th

Initially this takes us through some of the metro park system. Tinker's Creek is pretty cool and the fishing is really good for Rock Bass on a fly rod if anyone ins interested. Gasoline Alley is a really neat place to grab a burger in Fairlawn where this ends presently. I used to chase a WRX with my wife's Z3 around there. I have to drive the area again to see where we used to play around. This info to follow ...

Here is what I have so far:

Wilson Mills east to SOM Center and turn right
Turn left onto Cedar
Turn right onto Chagrin river road to Sulfur Springs Drive
Left on Miles and then immediate right onto Sulfur Springs Drive
Right onto Hawthorn PKWY
Turns into Brighton Park Blvd
Turns onto Cleveland Metropolitan pkwy
Left onto Richmond
Right onto Hawthorn pkwy
Left onto Northfield
Immediate Right onto Northfield
Right onto Cleveland Metro Pkwy
Right Split onto George pkwy
Right onto Dunham
Immediate left onto Tinkers Creek
Left onto Canal
Right onto East Pleasant Valley
Left onto Riverview Road
Past route 82
Rt on Chippewa Creek Drive (Could be Valley Pkwy)
Left onto Meadows drive
Left onto Valley Pkwy
Right onto Riverview road
Left onto RT 303
Right onto Akron Peninsula road
Right onto West Bath an then right jog onto Cleveland Massillon RD to Gasoline Alley on the left.


Please accept my apologies for not being at the Pub this weekend. I have two sick pups to keep an eye on here but they are doing better. Talking to Welzy while he was there, it appears I missed allot.

FYI,

All the checkpoints and rules have been finalized for the July Rally. I think you will all really enjoy this.

 

Sounds like a very nice drive. I used to hammer down Riverview & Akron Peninsula almost 40 years ago. I was doing my best Jimmy Clark in my MG Midget.

These days watch your speed down in the Cuyahoga Recreation area. The cops are out there looking for speeders. It's not like the old days.

 

You bet,

Same with Chagrin River Road. We will have to keep our eyes peeled .

I used to have a '72 Midget. Had allot of fun with that little car

 

I've sent you a PM about the route.

 

Looks like a great route... I'll be in the area this weekend, although sadly I'll be expected on the water for kayaking training at 8:30am... too bad!

Maybe I'll play with the new GPS i just picked up and try out a portion of the route myself! everyone have fun!

 

I'm not sure we'll do drive. Chagrin Falls Art fest is going on and I'm going to the Lake County Captain's game that night, too much to do already this summer (as usual).

BTW - WHO IS COMING TO BREAKFAST SATURDAY?

 

I will be there, along with Nancy and Stephaine.

 

Timmer, Have I told you lately that you are the best. We may have to make you the Czar as the other one never shows up. Thanks for planning another drive.

 

Good morning,
Yesterday, I received my 2006 mini from Jeff's Autos in North Canton.
I love the car. It is a hardtop s with 27,000. I still need to learn a great
deal about the car, but I love it. I would like to join your club if that is ok.
Looking forward to hearing from you. Karen

 

Firstly,

Karen,

This is a real warm group of people. We would love to have you. Also, our next meeting on July 11th is a Road Rally I am putting together. Please read the earlier post. It will be easy at allot of fun.

rboopie,

Thank you for your kind words. I have always wanted to be a member of a car club and frankly I am having a blast. I will get my tires out of your garage as soon as possible. If I keep breaking tires I will need all I can get LOL.

Crashton,

Thanks for the heads up on the route, I will be making the changes.

 

We Welcome ALL. After meeting us you may not want to "join".

What color is the new baby?

Congrats, we know the "I love it" feeling

 

You are now a member, all you have to do now is show up to a meeting. A group is going to the Scottish games and then we have the July meeting/Rally. Hope to see you there

 

Timmer, I am glad that you are enjoying yourself. You have brought so much to the club in the short time you have been present.

 

Timmer is the "drive Czar"

 

I will be on vacation in August when our meeting hits. I know this is a ways away, but figured I should mention it so someone can make a route in my absense.

Thanks

 

Dr. Greg has the August drive (tenatively)
HotDog has the September drive (this will be dog/pet friendly)
Anyone want October?

 

A few pictures my sister took on the June drive....
