Hmmm...Tell me more about this "Block of Orange" thing.
Is it just a leisurely drive out to some place for lunch, or is it a more spirited drive through some twisty roads?
I keep missing the Valley GTG because of work, but it looks like I'll probably be off the 25th, so this might work.
It looks like it's a bit of a drive from Camarillo, but I wouldn't mind getting out for a run with some other Vettes, as long as my social director doesn't already have plans for us. (Note to self - Check with wife about the 25th. Try to persuade her to ride along)

My TRUSTED SIDEKICK has stated it better than I ever could.!!!
Just to rectify what Pat said...we will not be going to JULIAN...there is no parking there. Most of us will not park on the street with our cars...hence, having lunch before there.

Our route will be a little different this time, hence the earlier 8:30 depart time.
5 south, 74 (Ortega Hwy) east, 15 south, 76 (Pala Rd) east/south to our destination.
Hope to see you Jon, Glenn and Linda and all the rest there!

Above is a link to a PCoA (Porsche Club of America) I'm sorry! description and map. I ride this road on my Harley often (at least a half dozen times a year) and it never disappoints. Usually the only regret is that it isn't longer. I've ridden it both directions but prefer the southbound drive. As described there are some very tight hairpins that must be carefully negotiated.

Dan, years ago we used to go to Santa Ysabel Casino to have lunch, before it closed. One of our group asked Pat and I if we wanted to go back home using that road...we both declined.
He went off the road and the only thing that stopped him from going all the way down was a wall.
We were all glad he was safe, but I had a feeling about that road, that's why we've never taken it, coming or going.
We'll wave at the street sign as we go by.

I was quite surprised at how much different the road experience was car vs. bike.Anyway you all be safe and have a wonderful drive!

Yes Sparky, it was a beautiful day for a run to get some pies! I had the top down as long as I could but had to raise it and turn on the heat to stop shivering right after taking these pictures.
