I am old and slow but always down to cruise.

TheDrkNite 12-30-2015 08:53 PM

I'm free after about 10am on Saturday. I have to take care of a little loose end at cars and coffee @world of speed. @BRZGM3 @RiderFromLao you down? What about our others, like @Ultramaroon @Jonesy86 @johan @TurtleFace @Aztec @Ammunition @thehapaone. I'm not going to include @Chen haha

TheDrkNite 12-30-2015 08:56 PM

Depending on where you want to cruise, up through woodland wa is a pretty good cruise, extremely low cop possibility, Germantown road, or anywhere else you guys think would be good. Just not vista, I've tried to tear up there on a weekend day, sucks. Everybody with their grandma driving is going up there doing 40 mph

Had a nice cruise down 509 (Dash Point Rd) north of Tacoma this afternoon.
Nice sunset this evening too.

Aztec 12-30-2015 09:03 PM

Potentially down midday saturday assuming it's not icy on the road we choose:clap:

m.box.design 12-30-2015 09:49 PM

I'm going to put my winter wheels on tomorrow possibly. Let's pick a route with low speeds. lol. Either way I'm not going to have much grip with my winter tires or my summer tires.

I'm still running my summer tires and have no problem with wet or dry roads as long as it stays above 32°
Let's have some fun :D:burnrubber:

Yeah, make it happen. Pick a day, time, place, and route...and No Chen until he washes his car.

I just miss u :wub:

johan 12-31-2015 01:19 AM

I have stuff to do Saturday - but I can move things around. So pending an actual destination and some estimation of time involved... I could be in for this.

Places that are definitely out:
- Vista house - agree this is always a shit show, too many tourists / bikes / whatever
- Germantown - too many bicyclists, too short, speedbumps

Other ideas?

Hey, @Decay107, you have some good routes, right? I couldn't go but remember everybody enjoying the drive.

Can you come out this weekend?

Ah, I'd love to, but I work 3 - 11pm on Saturday, Sunday :(. If I have enough notice I might be able to request a day off, but I'll likely not be able to make this one (bummer, the weather is supposed to be great for the rest of the week!)

I could be in, know some good routes but all on the west side. We could go to my normal proving grounds which is s219 to SW Bald Peak Road, haven't encountered a cop yet along the route. It's about a 30-40 minute drive, mostly twisties and we could end at a pretty decent diner. Another possibility (if folks are feeling adventurous) is timber road to Vernonia, done it way more on a bike than in a car but it's a pretty technical road. No cops there either, but there is an area you need to go slow to avoid angry shotgun wielding rednecks (no, I'm not kidding). Unfortunately it may not be too friendly to some of our lower compatriots, I caught air the last time I drove it in a car.

m.box.design 12-31-2015 04:04 AM

or we could all just be about dat lyfe and hard park in a parking lot somewhere. swag!

I'm pretty sure you have to be on time to a meet to even be considered the soul of the group... You're invited too @Chen. I just assumed you were working

TheDrkNite 12-31-2015 01:16 PM

How does this sound? 1 pm at cascade station on Saturday Jan 2. From there we can choose Germantown, woodland or whatever. But at least we have a time and initial location and the people who actually show up can determine what route. Cool with everybody?

Yup... Life's consumed of always working. I'll see if I can make this or not.

Thanked to confirm.

This works well for me. Wife wanted me to go to Ikea with her on Saturday - so we'll just do that beforehand and I'll already be in the right place.

BRZGM3 12-31-2015 05:47 PM

Well count me out! Just killed 4th gear in the back roads today.

I'm completely down to go on a drive and let's plan to meet at a diner (someplace warm) to chill and eat and booze out after the drive :)

Probably use it as a core if I decide to run the Velox gear set. Im hoping this next one will last until fall then I can afford to get the velox gears or maybe a different route
