View Full Version : Gorge run? kristopher_d 12-26-2003, 01:19 AM http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=254702 Magnesium 12-26-2003, 04:51 PM I'm possibly in. Depends upon date. kristopher_d 12-27-2003, 11:46 AM 2 possibilities: 2 Feb - yuck, more than a month away. 4 Jan - has my vote, that's next sunday. sea-rx8 12-27-2003, 09:58 PM I'd like to go... but am unable to on jan4. I have a work schedule that keeps me boarding through the winter......tues and wens off. But I now have blown out my knee for a few weeks and could adjust my schedule a bit to take some time off on the weekends. Sooo..... If anyone can agree on a date later than jan 4 but before feb ....I AM ALL IN!!!! kristopher_d 12-27-2003, 10:05 PM Man, we really need a board that is vehicle independent. Playing middle man is a PITA, and I'm on vacation right now. Come 5 Jan, I'll be working 60hrs a week again and wont have as much time to keep both sides of the rotary pond informed. So ... http://groups.msn.com/WesternWashingtonDrives/homepage Sorry to blatantly plug it again, but this multi-forum stuff just to schedule a drive is nuts. amysmojo 12-28-2003, 10:14 PM Can I join w/ my jetta? LOL kristopher_d 12-29-2003, 12:52 AM Absolutely. It's about the drive, not the superior power plant in 7's & 8's amysmojo 12-29-2003, 09:51 AM NICE!! I dont work on the 4th. So thats works for me! Ive never been on a run before :p so I guess I'm one of those "run virgins" lol I'll just ride in the back w/ my Jetta & pretend Ive got my Rx8 already :) kristopher_d 12-29-2003, 12:16 PM 1 yes, 1 maybe from the 8 forum. and it looks like 1 yes, 1 maybe from the 7 forum. I'm still planning on making the run on the 4th, hope to see more folks there. Need to chose a meeting place. kristopher_d 12-30-2003, 02:09 AM Okay, we need a meeting spot in Vancouver. Since I'll be driving for a couple of hours before we even start the fun, I vote for someplace I can stretch my legs a bit, and with a nearby restroom. At this point, there should be 3-5 cars coming, so we need to get this figured out. amysmojo 12-30-2003, 08:50 AM I live about 8 miles from the PDX airport on the Vancouver side. I am not sure where to meet, what type of places do you usually meet at? The funny thing is everyone will know which car is mine right away :) "Hmmmm Rx8, Rx8,....?Jetta?..., Rx8, Rx8, Rx8. Which one could possibly be amysmojo!" haha amysmojo 12-30-2003, 08:52 AM But seriously though, I am open for meeting pretty much anywhere. CCJ 12-30-2003, 08:23 PM Darn! I'd love to join you guys but I have to work on Jan.4. I will make an effort to attend a run in the near future, And Thanks Kristopher for keeping both boards up to date. kristopher_d 12-30-2003, 09:03 PM amysmojo, Living in Vancouver, you must know of a park or something that would serve as a good meeting spot. maddox2351 12-30-2003, 11:07 PM Hello, I'm game. My only concern is the weather that day, especially along the gorge. Count me in if there is no freezing weather in the forcast. I'll check back to see if a meeting place has been established. I hope the weather is nice! Or at least decent enough for me to ride with you all. kristopher_d 01-02-2004, 11:31 AM Still need a meeting place. I'm choosing to be optomistic on the idea of dry roads for this run. amysmojo 01-02-2004, 11:40 AM Yea Im hoping for dry roads! I have no suggestions for a meeting place, sorry guys! I have never done this so I am not sure what type of places are good to meet at? I am about 6 - 8 miles from the PDX airport. Where is everyone else coming from? kristopher_d 01-02-2004, 12:33 PM 175 mi north of Vanouver. Okay, I did some research and here is what I propose. Vancouver Lake County Park 6801 NW Lower River Road, Vancouver WA 98660-1008 I know absolutely nothing about the park, but parks are usually good places to meet up. amysmojo 01-02-2004, 12:57 PM I havent been to that lake in SO long! It didnt even cross my mind. Sorry guys!;) As long as the weather will let me, I'll be there!! What time do you like to get these things started?? kristopher_d 01-02-2004, 01:03 PM Since I'll be 2+ hours just getting to the park, I suggest 11:00That should give us plenty of time to have some fun before I have turn around and go the other way. amysmojo 01-02-2004, 01:06 PM 11 Sounds good to me! Is it just kris & I going? Common people! Zoom zoom :p maddox2351 01-02-2004, 09:50 PM I forgot to check the dates of the last few posts regarding a meeting place, but have you all seen the weather here lately? and the forcast for more nasty weather this weekend? Last I heard approx. 5 hours ago today (fri) chains were still required on the gorge. Unless a miracle happens or I am not talking about the same gorge as you all, I probobaly will not be attending. However, I am totally looking forward to doing this at another time. kristopher_d 01-03-2004, 02:59 PM As I'm watching more snow falling here in Redmond, I think we'll need to postpone this trip. As soon as the weather picture looks favorable, I'll start a new thread. amysmojo 01-05-2004, 08:28 AM Well...damn kris! We were so close :( I would love to go on a run in the summer time. Those must be NICE, no forcast for snow etc :) Of course...I'd love to go anytime of the year! As long as you 8's will be there, I'll be there :p CCJ 01-05-2004, 08:28 PM Me too! I'm dying to cruise around with other RX-8 owners and fans. |
