Totally selfish of me but I feel the same way. I really want to meet up - counting down until the car is done!

After handling my errands and whatnot, I took the daily driver out to Malibu and covered most of the roads we do in the drive. There is *some* debris out there but it isn't horrible. There was one substantial rock that caused me to have to drive over the double yellow and that was on Decker Canyon. It was dead center of the lane and Decker being what it is, there was no option to go to the right. So, depending on how things are in the morning, we may choose to omit Decker from the second half of the drive.

The biggest issue I see with the debris is that it will cause bicyclists to be more in the center of the lane (which is completely legal, within their right and is sometimes the safest thing for them to do, remember) so we may have to be even more cautious about that than our usual level of "ready for anything" when we come around a corner.

So we are a GO for tomorrow.

Sorry Mara!

Awwww shucks.

But we're watching the race live in the morning, so I'd already been calculating whether I'd be able to meet up at lunch for the second half of the drive. Race should be over around 10:30ish, barring any weather delays (Q3 was rain-delayed half an hour today.) We'll see; I'll try. I have to take the bee in the morning anyways, so I'll already have it out.

Great drive today. Nice tight group!

I just have to get back the one walkie-talkie that is floating around out there. :-) PM me if you have it.

I did two "Walk of the Cars" videos. Since some folks left after lunch but some folks joined us at lunch, Alan suggested I should do a second walk. So I did.

Well, probably going to be the 22nd, but we are finalizing that date as we speak. Reason being is the holiday and I have to be meet a family commitment the 29th.

We'll update the calendar as soon as it is certain.

22nd set in stone?
I invited 1 person and somehow dragged maybe 8 more so I want to give them a quick heads up.
