Although thinking back.....you two looked so cute all cuddled up in the cockpit of your C-3.

For those that have done this before, the plan will be similar to the last few times we've cruised south...I will post info on this thread as I get it, so all these TBD's will disappear shortly

The Plan:
Meet up in Dublin/Pleasanton on the morning of May 24th. Dublin is a convenient meeting point and crossroad for anyone traveling from the Central Valley, North and East Bay areas that all want to cruise together. Meeting point will be the Shell station on the SW corner of San Ramon Valley Blvd and Dublin Blvd. Easy access back to the freeway

The Time:
7:00AM in Dublin

The Route:
For those coming from the Sacramento area, meet up at the Chevron station at 4800 W Capitol Ave, just off I-80, 5:45-6:00am would be a good meet-up time

Start from Dublin, go south on 680 to 101.

First stop will be the San Jose meeting point, the Target parking lot at 3155 Silver Creek Rd in San Jose, just off East Capitol. The meeting time 7:45. This is the same place we met before heading out on the Big Sur run. Next stop will be at the Prunedale Chevron in Salinas, 8695 Prunedale North Rd, at the intersection of US 101 and SR 156. For those meeting us there, the meet time is 8:15. Maps, directions, and itinerary will be provided at that time, as well as a pre-cruise briefing.

At all times during the cruise, I would like to see one car in front with a radio(to keep contact with those behind) and one in back(in case anyone drops out due to mechanical issues etc.). I will probably be in neither position because I can't hear the radio with the car in motion, but I plan on having one anyway

Our next stop will be the Broadway Circle Cheveron in King City, 47 miles and 48 min away, although this stop may not be necessary if everyone tops off in Salinas(we'll discuss it in Salinas). I've already called the station, and they have the 91 octane fuel, air, water, snack area, and restrooms in working order.

Next stop is the San Anselmo Unocal in Atascadero, 59 min 62 miles further down the road

Last stop Solvang, 1 hr 24 mins and 82 miles

When we get there:
We will meet up with Pauldana and the SoCal crew for an informal park & show and BS session in Solvang

After the cruise:
Forum Member Bee Jay will be our host at his house....more info on the main thread

What to bring:
Whatever you usually bring on a cruise. I always pack a tool bag, folding chairs and a few snacks, and don't forget an overnight bag if your staying the night. If you have a two-way radio, bring it. A radio can be a valuable thing to have especially if we get separated in an area where there is no cell service.

Motel Information:
Days Inn Buellton
114 E Hwy. 246
Buellton, CA
805-688-8448

It is the responsibility of each cruiser to make their own reservation!
Mention you're with the Corvette group and Tod Elliots name(he set the motel up for us, thanks Tod!!)

1) 682XLR8 Randy

I looked at your profile and only saw the C6....can you post a pic of the 73? Would like to see it

We should be rolling through Atascadero about 10:15-10:30, you can meet us there or if you want to avoid backtracking you can do a roll-on when we get to the Pismo/Arroyo area. If you rather do that, PM me your cell# and I will make a note to call as we approach your area

Keep an eye on Pauldana's thread, more info over there
