I agree with canceling the route we were going to take but many as I have been planning this for months now, Like I said before, We could take the 5 north to the 166 west then the 101 south to Solvang, The 166 is a beautiful drive through a nice canyon. So if we choose to cancel the Solvang run, I would still like to go on a run somewhere/anywhere I've been prepping for this for weeks. Anybody have any ideas???
Maybe a nice Topanga Canyon or Kanan Dune Canyon drive to the beach. So I'm in wherever anybody wants to go, I just want to get out and drive with other vettes on the road

Bouquet canyon up to Lancaster then 90th street west up to Tahachipi , That would be a beautiful drive too, All canyons. Anybody up for that one ?? Plenty of great places to eat up there too.
Is there not another run folks wanna do on Saturday morning? Such a shame to lose the momentum when everyone has already planned on the time.
Still meeting at the original spot in Northridge, We will decide where we will go from there, Besides myself I know there are still a lot of you who still want to go on a run this Saturday the 18th. I'm trying to put together a nice run to Tahachipi for lunch, Mostly all canyons and should be a beautiful drive for everyone, I know the route the whole way, so I could even lead if everyone needs me to. I will be at whole foods market in Northridge at 8:00 am Tomorrow. Hope we can still get a nice turnout for the cruise. Hope to see ya there. CorvetteBob
I'm still in with my son. He's only 7, but fanatical about vettes and was totally bummed the full run was postponed, even though for good reason I was gonna have to make it up to him anyway with a ride to West Coast Corvette, so can't waste such a nice day. Let's talk in the AM about the revised ride plan.
Well, how was your cruise? Did you take any pics? Where did you go and eat?...inquiring minds want to know.

Had a great time. Good ride and good people. We took the canyons towards Malibu up near Mulholland. 6 cars total. Ran into some interesting bicycle riders with colorful words...I think we scared one of them coming up the canyon...he he. My son got sick on the side of the road after a bit with sharp canyon turns (clearly too ambitious on my part, but he was a trooper and still wants to come to the next one, although I probably won't bring him til he's older). Then we split up and 4 cars went to Neptunes Net for lunch and a slower cruise while the other 2 continued on in the canyons. I think Bob took some video and I only got a pic of my son in front of the four cars at Neptunes.
It was the right thing to do to postpone the Solvang run, but glad we still did something this weekend. Made for a great Father's Day!

Second that. Great weather and good ride. Thought there would have been more than 6 of us but still had a good time. Cant wait to do it again.
Here's a few pics from the run last Saturday. There were only 6 of us but we made the best of it, We did some very unexpected spirited driving through some of the canyon's. Box Canyon, Valley Circle Drive, Mullholland Drive, and Malibu Canyon. A fun drive for sure. Put my good 'Ol C5 to the test for the first time, Was very happy with the results. Kept right up with those C7 boy's. Those cars are just awesome !! Cant wait to do it again soon. CorvetteBob
Postponing it was the right thing to do. The 9th probably makes the most sense for a new date imo, but whatever you decide is fine.
Thank you... made me feel so bad, like I let so many down... but I just did not see any other way

I'm watching the fires... watching the temps...,looking at the holidays .......
I'm thinking that is to short of a notice and with to much unanswered in the area...
The 9th is the week just after the 4th and a lot of people play catch up....
