My suggestion would be that we meet somewhere east of Downtown with a Starbucks ( )and we take Wilshire Blvd all the way to Santa Monica. It's sunday morning so traffic shouldn't be bad at all and we take the PCH from there and head up north.

I'm not sure where "Moala run" is located but I'm pretty sure it's up north in PCH, yeah?

That sounds great. I think we took wilshire as well on the moala run. We met in LA and took the streets to pch and went up a couple canyons.

Now think of a place peeps, comon glen you should know a spot. We should just think of a place to meet and while we are sippin on our Starbux, we will think and agree of what roads to go on and etc.

alright then.. how about this. we meet at the office depot on alameda and 2nd...
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=...UTF8&z=16&om=0

that's a big parking lot and there's a starbucks right next to it.
from there we can decide on the route... i think the freeway is our best bet... taking wilshire all the way down is too long on the streets.

art, you and i need to scope the run before to make sure the roads are clear. ive got the route

kOOL Brotha , lets do it. We can scope it a day or two before sunday.

It would be great to drive with you all...but it would be an hour-and-a-half drive to meet you all at the start...I'm up in the Northwest end of Ventura County...the drive up PCH would be great.

Good luck...and have a great run.

You could meet us around pch. We can call you and let you know what route we will be taking and you can simply meet us there.

It sounds like you're thinkin' it would be the 9th, yes? I'll double check the schedule to make sure 9 Feb is clear (believe it is) and I'll PM you in a few days...

Of course, that's assuming you all don't mind "an old fart" (45) joining in the fun...

As of now, I'm in... Hopefully nothing for school or work will come up. Servers like to blow up though, so you never know.

freshman in college, i'm in LA during the weekday's and Fullerton (OC) during the weekends (fridays - sunday). i'm down for a meet :D. I know this may be a drive for people in LA, but there are places in irvine where the SOCAL euro forum people meet. (just a suggestion)!!
