Group Cruise: Carpinteria to Santa Paula This Sunday Morning May 18th - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Wayne · 05-16-2014, 01:19 AM

Hey folks -

You may have noticed in two other ongoing threads [ Ventura County (805) Car Meets? and Any 805'ers here? ] that a few of us in the Ventura and Santa Barbara County areas are planning to get together for a group cruise this coming Sunday morning (5/18). We'd really like to have a few more BRZ/FR-S owners from our area -- or even from SFV, Santa Clarita and beyond -- join us for a casual swoosh through our local coastal hills. Details are as follows.

Where: Meet at Rincon Beach Park, just off Pacific Coast Highway (US-101 & CA-1) at Bates Road, between La Conchita and Carpinteria. Wayne and Kay will bring coffee and goodies for early arrivals to munch while we wait for everyone to show up.

Time: 8 to 8:30 AM if you want to cruise by Santa Barbara Cars & Coffee in Montecito; later (10 to 10:30 AM) if not. The early group will swing back by the Rincon to pick up the late sleepers for the longer route to Santa Paula.

Route: Early birds will start with the optional loop to Cars & Coffee, driving surface streets that parallel the freeway through Carpinteria, Summerland and Montecito. There'll be a few nice curves climbing Rincon and Ortega Hill as well as cruising past the megabucks beach estates on Padaro Lane, and 'posing' on the main drags of Carpinteria and Summerland. Returning via CA-192 (Valley and Foothill Roads), especially by the Toro Canyon area should be FUN! After returning from C&C, we'll meet others who choose to come later back at Rincon Beach Park. Everyone will then drive up CA-150 past Lake Casitas, though Ojai, up the switchbacks of Dennison grade, and through downtown Santa Paula, ending with an optional lunch there.

Since there'll most likely be so few of us, please invite any of your other friends with sporty cars to join us. If you're likely to do this ride, please post to this thread ASAP.

Hmm-mm-mm... sixty views so far, but not even one person posting an interest in participating this weekend.

I'm starting to think maybe this isn't going to be one of those 'If you build it, they will come...' success stories.

I would be there if I were not working the Strawberry Festival.

kurbkilla · 05-17-2014, 01:15 PM

It looks like I'll be there at 8:15.

P@ul · 05-17-2014, 04:50 PM

Ugh, bright and early...

Kevinmp7 · 05-17-2014, 05:38 PM

Ok so here is the list of people that posted that they are going:

Wayne
P@ul
Ganthrithor
kurbkilla(maybe)
DGMlJDlBRZ
VenomRush
Kevinmp7

Let me know if that is incorrect and feel free to invite any friends.

Please post your final decision before the end of tonight!!

Ganthrithor · 05-17-2014, 06:17 PM

I'm going to try and meet you guys at Cars + Coffee since it doesn't make much sense to drive down to Rincon and then turn around and drive back.

I should wash my car this evening

I spent half the day detailing mine

KelvinBRZ · 05-17-2014, 09:29 PM

My car is covered with dust and spider webs. But there's a good chance I'll see you guys at C&C tomorrow, I just won't be able to make the cruise..

Yep, B&E it is; Kay and I are about to hit the road, getting prepped for the ride today, and eager to meet some new 86ers. On a ride with our cycling group yesterday we saw a white 86 (too late to determine its ethnicity), and I found myself trying (futilely, of course) to think of a way to invite its driver to join us today. We'll see the rest of you Don't Just Talk About It; DO IT! folks later this morning...
