Default May 24th-'Vette Roundup @ The Block of Orange

"DATE CHANGE"


Hello fellow "BLOCKHEADS!!!"

We'll be meeting this month at around 8 AM.

REMEMBER, THIS IS FOR "ALL 'VETTE YEARS!"

Krispy Kreme
330 The City Drive South or City Blvd. East
Orange, CA 92868

Hope to see you there!

MT. BALDY HERE WE COME!!!



We'll leave KK at 8:30 AM SHARP to arrive in La Verne (to meet other 'vettes) at 9 AM and to begin the cruise around 9:30 AM. I'll have maps to Mt. Baldy for everyone that wants to go...nothing for those that chicken out!!!

Directions to Dennys from The Block:

1) Right on Chapman, right onto 57 Fwy North
2) 57 Fwy North to 210 Fwy East
3) 210 Fwy East to Foothill Blvd., turn left on Foothill and Dennys is on your immediate right.

The meeting place in La Verne is the Dennys parking lot at the corner of Foothill and Baseline, across the street from the Mobil gas station/car wash.

We'll be eating at THE HAT off of Foothill Blvd., on Central because after that mountain driving, we'll all be hungry!!!

They have the best pastramis in the world, along with beef dips and the largest chili fries in the universe!!!

DON'T WASH YOUR CAR BEFORE HAND AS IT WILL GET DUSTY!





Stay safe and I know you'll like this one if you haven't been on it.

Sparky
Fearless Leader

EDIT: If someone lives up that way, can you tell me if either Glendora Mt. Rd., or San Gabriel Cyn. Rd. is passable on our way to Glendora Ridge Rd....THANKS in advance!

I won't be able to make this one. It is the same day as Plastic Fantastic corvette show in San Diego. Several from our club are going to this show.
Have a good SAFE cruise.

I made that run two weeks ago from Mt. Baldy to San Gabriel Canyon and all was open. Be aware that the route is also a favorite of bicyclists this time of year and many of them think cars won't be using their road. My favorite part was the Glendora Ridge Road part of the run just below Baldy.

Have fun and watch out for the two wheelers!

Thanks Dan for the update, very much appreciated! We've been driving this route since around 2008 and we've been real careful of the bikers.

I'm not sure which route up we'll take but which ever one...we'll have fun. Maybe you'd like to come with us, hope to see you there.

Chris, nobody pays any attention to "Old Fearless Leader" We all start with a clean car. Including "Old" Chris, you riding solo? We have to watch what we say to you if you have a rider....

I was going to come until I just found out that's the date for the Indy 500. I never miss watching that.

But have fun, it's one of my favorite runs.
