Many of you have been on weekend drives with me and with that in mind today i thought might be a good time to introduce this idea.

As we are coming into spring and summer time I thought it would be fun to do something i used to do on the motorcycle forums =) A standing Sunday drive.

Ideally the way this would work is, myself (or anyone else with a route plan) would host these events. The drives will change often and could be as simple as a cruise to golden gardens. They also may be as intensive as doing the cascade loop. Most often they will land in the middle doing drives out to chuck-a-nut, Highbridge, or Sammamish loop as
examples. Groups will likely be small but, not limited As this is a weekly standing event and will be dependent on weather. Feel free to suggest routes and plan or even lead the drive. We will have many sunny Sundays to come as we get into spring and summer. As we go along and in the events that i cant host these drives I would like anyone that is willing to step up and lead. Variety is the spice of life after all.

The driving pace will often change to fit the roads and routes but i will ask that if you are going on the drive or bring others to keep it safe. Last summer i did a few of these and come guest were brought out. As an example a douchwaffle in a vw gli was cutting corners into the opposite lane and very nearly took out a motorcycle. I ask that we keep these sort of things to a minimum.

I will post the first route Monday afternoon as i plan it out. In that time if you have any questions or suggestions please post them up or message me directly.

 

first drive is this sunday the 10th at 12 noon. starting at xxx root beer. below is link to the map of the route.

This is great. I use to do these type of drives with the Winding Roads all the time and just recently moved back, so looking forward to joining as many of these as possible.

 

One more thing and it might be to late for this drive, but I would suggest starting earlier then noon and try to end the drive with eating lunch. Roads are a lot less busy earlier in the morning then mid day and its kind of nice to end the drive eating lunch and talking about the drive. Just an idea, still looking forward to this one.

 

yeah, normally i would do that. but i was also trying to start someplace that was semi central for the north and south people. looking forward to seeing you guys there. ill start these earlier as we go along. i also might have done 12 because of a party the night before. lol

 

I here ya Jack about the early starts. I hate to be a flake but i had soemthing come up tomorrow afternoon, so i wont be able to make it. Ill make sure to check back here or MazdaNW to see when the next drive is and wouldnt commit till i know i can actually make it

 

no worries. the point of the drives is low pressure and small turn out. we will catch you later! need someone to show me how to drive these cars.

Tires have been great. worth every penny. best grip i've ever had on the car and so far the only time they slip is in the very cold. even then it is hard.

 

Good to hear.

 

Which tires you get

 

the super sports.

do you still have your rx8?

 

Lol yes. Buying another car soon.

 

oh nice, what are you looking to get?
