Albany is 70 miles south of Portland so add an hour to what ever it would take you to get to Oregon. My guess coming from Seattle though it would be in the 4hr range give or take 20 minutes on how you drive and traffic.

Count me in.

My girl really likes those meets. Next day after the Chehalis meet, she asked me if there will be another one soon.

Hey Dave, can you call the news channel KGW and ask their meteorologist if he could get us a nice sunny day for the 24th?lol Because, Chehalis was really really cold.

you're forgetting that Meteorologists in the pacific northwest get paid to lie, not actually try to predict the weather, lol

hey pdxhak! I just read the whole rx7club thread, and now I have couple concerns. I've never been to the Mary's Peak and I have no idea what the road is like. I saw that you mentioned how last time the part of the road was dirt/gravel pavement. That's a NO/NO for me. Also, a guy on the post mentioned snow. Hopefully that's not a problem on the 24th, because I have to cut the trip short and go back...

No dirt/gravel roads. There was some loose gravel on the paved road. Nothing major. Also the snow was at the top of the road. So we do the drive but just not all the way to the top. Anyway RW-7 is going to check it out the week before so we will know for sure

Well bad news. I'm out for the drive. My son's B-Day party has been scheduled on Saturday 24th. Originally we were going to have it on the 25th but the wife changed it. grr...

I'll definitely be going to the BBQ meet the following week though.

I was looking forward to ride with you from Beaverton, but too bad that you can't make it. Let us know if your plans change by then, and decide to make it.

I wish I was going to make this one. But I've got too much going on this weekend, and I still need to do the whole tire/brakes/alignment thing.
