Default FRESH Canyon run/cars and coffee video!! SoCal Invite...

We had a BLAST last month on our escorted canyon run up the mountain to our cars and coffee...

If you're not too far from Idyllwild, and want to come out to the next cars and coffee, and enjoy a spirited uninterrupted run up the mountain, please PM me for details... Limited spots available.



Here a video I put together from the last run, and posted a few weeks ago, check it out if you've not seem it already...

Thanks,Matt

The one immediately behind me was REAL close, so at the first turnout, I did and let him pass.. SURPRISE!! The 2nd one stayed close; the first sped up, so I figured they were baiting me. After a few miles the passer (had disappeared) jumped in as #3. When they realized I was not gonna play, they gave up.

'Yours' appears more fun!

Thanks Matt, it was pretty cool to look down at the speedo on the early straights, and then look up to see the escort and his light flashing (with me chasing him), as Bad to the bone came on the radio!!

Wonder what would have happened if you kept up, maybe they would have been cool??

I'm planning to drive up, for coffee & doughnuts, and hoping to meet a few of you.
I'll just watch you guys take off, on your 'run', then I'll head home.

Went up the mountain to Idyllwild, CA this morning, and had a great time at Cars & Coffee.
Lots of nice cars and good conversation, free coffee & rolls.

Met Joel and a few others, and after the 'Canyon run' up the Mountain. A good time had by all, I think.

Beautiful drive up the mountain, and back home. More in SoCal should try to attend the next one.

Thanks Joel, hope to come again.

Don
