I'm trying to talk Ms. Speednut into this run. It's been over 20 years since I've last been to Yosemite and she's never been there. I'm just going to have trouble getting my lazy butt out of bed that early.

Thanks for setting up this run Larry; it sounds great.

I just signed up using the club's home page. I'll assume I can pay the membership dues to someone at the event? (Yeah, I'm sure someone will be happy to take my money. )

Look forward to seeing you all again.
Cheers,
Dave & Cuilan

Looks like a great trip! Wish I could have tagged along, but I had already scheduled a motorcycle ride for that weekend. If you think 104 is hot in a car, you should try 108 on a bike!
