It's a large group and there's lots of old guys that go. If you feel more comfortable, you could be towards the rear of the group, but you'll be fine. There normally is a few short stops along the way to try and keep everyone together, which is tough with a group this size.

I should be able to get the weekend off and the wife said that she'd love to go too. So we'll probably see you in June.

My dad doesn't live too far from you in Wood Ranch and last time we met up near the 118 and 23 freeway. Route isn't totally known until we actually meet. PaulDana normally has the plan

If I decide to go should I just show up at the Whole Foods Location or do I have to let someone know?

Reminder to all: fill up on gas before you arrive. Once they roll, they won't wait for you if you have to stop for gas. We're staying Saturday night at the Solvang Gardens. It looks like a very cool place.

Dinner, as always, at the Hitching Post.

I can't wait!!!

Cool!

Nice shot on the dyno.

I don't think I met you two years ago. I have the 14 crystal red vert. I'm on the front row far left in your group shot. My wife, Anne Marie, is on the far right squatting down.
