There is a spring ALL MAZDA meet starting up on Mt. St. Helens
here's the link http://www.mazda3forums.com/index.php?topic=41943.0
Post here if you can make it with your car type and name and I'll get them posted on the other site.
Oregon folks- there will be a meeting place for a caravan up there in Beaverton

 

Cool, we were talking about making a St Helens run around that time. It would be really cool to see some of the other Mazdas.

84 GSL-SE with FD motor big ssinge blah blah blah.

You might want to try over at nopistons.com as well.

 

I'll do that tomorrow ,I'll put you down ?.....

 

I'm in....I am sure that we can coordinate it so that we are not making 2 runs up St. Helens.

 

baaahhhhh!!! i got a turbo FB too!

 

just a thought i kinda live around that area and the drive to the back side of or aka windy ridge is a much more fun/twisty/less traffic of a drive then up to castlerock way. I made the trip probably 6 or 7 times last summer on my bike and my car and it is way better. I know i'm new and all but i am definatly not new to the st helens run been driving it the last 11 years. i will come along to the johnston ridge run but we DEFINATLTY need to go to windy ridge

Chris

 

^^^I am down for anything! Might as well go with a seasoned veteran

 

I've heard about that run . I among others from Oregon will be down to go that way back but I'm not the one who started this thing up ,I'm just the one who's been spreading the word. If you can send me a map so I can figure out the best way back to portland from that way. Thanks Man

 

Hey Z could you please pm me your real name or could you go to the other site and pm cloud9wa that info so he can post it up.Thanks

 

So does that mean you're going to join us ?

 

Chris is right the back side is a better drive/ride. I would like to go, but won't have the car ready by then. And I am sure as hell not going to be a passenger in Apex's car. You guys mind if I rode my bike?

 

Hell yes, I would love to see your bike. I wonder if he would let you? I will PM you that information.

 

i dont have a turbo. it suck with out one

 

HELL YA bring it .I'll put you down and see ya on Friday

 

I might have my FC running by then.... I'd probably still take the MSP however.

See ya'll there.

 

What kind of **** is that? I call bullshit pal. Ride you sissy...Hope it's cold because it will be warm in my car!!

 

I'm just saying it would be a hurl of a good time if I'm in the passenger seat of your car that's all.

So what say Ye Space? Any updates?

 

Man I've been freaking busy and I'm trying to get the wife to take my son with her up to Seattle that weekend,I'll know soon about the extra drive.......

 

I'm golden.Got a babysitter to watch my son for the day. Moto do you know of a road that will connect the west side of the mountain to the windy ridge drive ? I guess I can call a ranger station to see if I can get a map.

 

Actually the only connection between both roads is either by foot or a "Off-Road" that isn't open to the public. SO we're SOL if we want to go on the east side from Windy Ridge. East Side NF-99 is a cooler road in my opinion, but rather far for the majority of the people going on this drive. Unless both Washington and Oregon groups come seperate ways and meet at the base of NF-99.

http://maps.google.com/?ll=46.312553...159833,0.31929

Washington - I-5 - 12 - 25

Oregon - I-5 - 503 - 25 or I-30/14 - Wind River Rd - 25

East side is a full day of driving. The last time I did I-5 - 503 - 25 - 99 - 25 - 12 -Stevens Canyon Rd - Paradise Rd - 706 - 7 - 12 - I-5 (577 miles) on my bike in 7 hours, averaging 80 mph and only stopping for gas/stretch/view. The average speed limit on that route was 50 mph.

West will be a half day, maybe less depending on how fast people drive. Round trip - 3 hours without stopping from either Portland of Seattle. So most likely 5-6 hours with all the scenic stops and bar hops people will most likely do.

 

sounds good ill try to make it (Mo S4 RX7)

 

what time is the run to st. helens. i might grab my fc and go with all of you..

 

hey man. im ******* down. count me in. i hope my tii swap is ready by then. give me the info.

thanks. vijet.
