What up everyone? A couple of friends and i were planning on going for a drive this weekend in the cascades. Below is a link to the Classic Cascade Loop that we were thinking of doing or something similar.

As of now we are thinking Saturday morning into the afternoon maybe with a picnic along the way. Once we get a better idea of who is interested i will set a time and place to meet up.

I figured i would see if anyone was interested, so far it going to be me, my buddy in his stock s2k, a co worker in his RSX-S, and another friend is taking his CBR 600 out and will probably stay a bit a head of us. Its suppose to be nice out so hope to see everyone.

 

Sounds interesting. How long is the ride? Might not be able to because of Russel Peters if its this weekend.

 

that's an awesome drive. it'll take all day though. about 8 hours i think.

 

woah long *** drive lol i need to save the gas money for vegas

 

Yeah i dont think we will do the full drive but maybe part of it. I would like to keep it around 4-5 hours.

 

the hwy 20 part is better

 

hmmm, 3 or 4 hours sounds great. 8 does not.

 

ok plans have been finalized....

So we're going to hit the twisties and do just a teeny portion of the north part of the Cascade Loop.

We'll head up to beautiful Diablo Lake, step out for a photo and a bite to eat, and then come back down.

Here's the plan:
- Meet in the north parking lot of the Northgate Mall (in front of the Bank of America) around 9 am. We will start the day with 25 minutes of yoga and leave no later than 9:30.
- Take I-5 N
- East on Highway 20
- Head all the way up to Diablo Lake and then head back down Highway 20
- Stop for quick bite to eat
- South on Highway 530 back to I-5
- Should get back in Northgate around 3:30

Here's a map of the route: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...,2.113495&z=10

It's about 220 miles total and somewhere just under 5 hours if we go slow (but we won't will we?). Let me know if you have any questions.

See you Saturday and drive safe!
