how far is it from us?

usually takes me like 20 ish minutes to get there, 30 max.

Thank God save me gas lol. I will be attending, if im not working on kevins car.

I will PM you in a few regarding double checking the route, it would be awesome if you could come out Phelan!

Working on a car or driving your car through spectacular roads? Hmmm... :driving:

I will be working on another forum members car. Hopefully I can get it done the night before or day before.

That's really cool actually, would you take the 370? How's the M3 coming along?

M3 will be done this week so hopefully that. Just have to sneak it out....its the wifeys car.

Awesome stuff, that isn't too bad of a second choice to the Z if I say so myself.

the z is always my first choice. For some reason i have been leaning toward an EVO MR for the next car. Need a baby seat

Perhaps I can make it to this run, not sure yet as I can still barely move without a lot of pain (procedure went well by they way - thanks again for all the well wishes). But you are correct about GMR being less populated, especially this time of year. That being the case, is the meet time still going to be 7am? And does anyone know if there is ice up there yet? I think only one of the roads really ever gets ice this early, but still, would be nice to know.

I haven't been to GMR since around April, but I think there really are only a couple of routes you can take. Someone else will chime to confirm or correct me. But as long as we take the route with painted lines, I'm all over it! But that section up to Baldy with no lane dividers is traveled by too many jackasses who think they're on a way road. Every time I've gone that way I have a close call with dumbasses who constantly take the inside line even when it means they're in the oncoming traffic's lane. And surprisingly, it's all takers — rock crawlers, sport cars, sport bikes, cyclists. Seems like everyone gets there and acts like it their own personal one way road.

The EVO 10s are the only generation that I would consider; huge step up in refinement in almost every way compared to the previous generations. Conversely, they just don't have that raw feel or character the older models have either.

Are you thinking a little later of a time? I didn't think of ice, this is Socal after all! I have that road in the route I have set up which I believe is one of the popular routes for taking all the great roads in that area. Hopefully if we go early enough, we might be able to avoid the issues with Baldy!


I think 7am is the best time to avoid traffic, plan on the GMR Cruise 7am Saturday the 27th of November (next Saturday)

I only bring up ice because GMR is the only run I've done where I frequently had to roll over ice. Yeah, it is socal, but GMR is mt Baldy, one of our two local ski/snowboard spots. This shouldn't stop the run. There probably won't be any this early, I just was wondering since we're having this storm this weekend.

I honestly wouldn't have thought of that, you make a good point. I will look into weather up there then and see what it is like so far, I am trying to decide what would be better; starting up Azusa or up Mt. Baldy.

Either way works, Christian. Added benefit of starting Azusa and ending Mt. Baldy would be that the route dumps is in Claremont. I know places for food in Claremont :tup:

Thanks Phelan, I take it that means you are coming then? :) I did google terrain and went over the whole route and regardless of which end we start on, we will go up and come back down on the other side. Why don't we end in Claremont so that I can make you Director of Nourishment?
