OFFICIAL Fall Cruise 2010 thread
Cruise was fantastic. I have to admit, to my shame, I was worried the group would bail, after that viscious bout of fog we hit in Aurora. But no, we pushed on, and sure enough the fog lifted, leaving us a beautiful afternoon up north ... albeit with several unusually *urgent* bathroom pitstops. 
Thanks again Footman, had a blast. Sorry I couldn't make it for dinner; by the way, how was the food? :D

Damn! The weather was really foggy.
Again, I'm sorry I couldn't attend. Too many things have piled up at the last minute, and Sun. was the only day I could do them. Then I took a look at the weather, and decided to get the other things done first.
At least it was good to see so many people show up!
Spring my friend! I promise. Has your girl got around to ordering her Miata yet?

404? You went too far, you were supposed to left on Leslie heading north. The map instructions were given to you, I hope you had read.
Ahh too bad Apollo, you were just short of the area where we stopped to wait. You probably could have hoofed it up to Davis Dr or so, overtaken the group, and then waited for us. No way to be sure with these things though, I know the feeling, trust me. :P
With all that said, we could surely take away some important lessons on group driving. Make sure there are radios spread out, particularly at the head and the tail of the group, and perhaps most importantly, establish better practices for pull-overs!
Nevertheless, I couldn't have asked for a better time. See you guys on the next one!

pulling over is so hard to do with a large group and on busy streets.
From my experience, best is to study/know the route well in-advance. Don't drive like a pansy, and stay with the group to the best of your ability. If you get cut off, try your hardest to rejoin the group.
*try your hardest*!!!
If you've ever driven with the rx7club people on their cruise, you will know.. you will need a lead foot and no-fear for cops to even remotely keep up with them.
Rxeckless, Scottish, and myself have had that experience!

True enough. Yeah I could tell what you guys were pushing for. And I'm down with going all out. But some people might not care for that kind of drive, and we don't *always* have to leave them in the dust.
Anyway, you did well Footman, let it be known! I hope I can do as well, if/when I manage to organize some drives of my own.

It's not hard, honestly... and it really depends on dedication on the members here, and the quality of the members.
If Sunday's turn out was like 4, and 21 people signed up, I'd damn sure let people know on this forum about it. You could give a rats *** about my anger and rage, but I'm still going to give you a piece of my mind. Then after that, I would simply retire from organizing anything ever again.
I am glad so many of you showed up on a foggy day.
