If we want to take a detour from 26, how about South on 53, 53 to Miami, Miami to Foss Rd, Foss Rd back to 26. http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=45.80...9884&z=5&hl=en
Would be a lot of fun and less cops around. Just a suggestion.
Everybody wants on the left lane, but no one wants to go fast.

Oh, how many of you guys have FRS radios?
[and then how many have the subchannels?]
It'd be cool if we could all keep in contact [or at least have our passangers manage the communication between us] - we'd be able to stop if someone had a problem?
[if I know you IRL - I might have one you can borrow]
Oh, and is someone bringing Radar detectors? [again - we could use the FRS to sound the alarm to everyone]

]I have 6 hand radios...I have them charging now. Here's what we do.."If we say we're going to channel one, we don't go to channel one, we go to channel three. Then if we say we are going to channel three, we really go to channel five. "
Can anyone name the movie?!

Hey, would you guys allow a motorcycle in the mix? Just in case my FD isn't running that weekend. Wouldn't want to miss out on being able to meet fellow Rex guys considering I just moved to the area and I really don't know anybody. My bikes a 2005 Suzuki GSX-R1000.
I'm running the Bible Creek Hillclimb this weekend and I may inflick damage to my Rex. Wish me luck, see if I can beat the ASP class time record held by a Z06.

I did some recon on Bible Creek Rd last weekend and went on Meadowlake Rd towards Carlton and it turned into a dirt road. Didn't go any further so I don't know long it stayed a dirt road.
We could go further south to Willamina and take Bible Creek Rd that will connect to Meadowlake Rd after it turns back to pavement. That's an awesome road, but we got to be careful an not **** off the locals of that area. Don't want to be the cause of losing that road for future hillclimbs. Just a thought.

hi all. I'm cartapex's buddy from the Mazda 3 site and I'm so glad to see all of the response on this site. you guys kick ***! I'm the one who did the test run and the lower portion of Meadowlake rd. is getting repaved up to about the to[p of the first hill,after that the road goes from so so to pretty good to so so again then into super twisty to a very hard packed dirt road that maybe lasts a couple of miles ( good place to cool down brakes/turbos/ etc) then back into super twisty and so on. I was thinking of using a portion of Bible creek but I know how many bikes are out there and I really don't want to **** off any of the locals. I think Spyder's place would be sweet to take a break and there is some talk on another site of some Washington folks meeting us on 101 somewhere so I think that would be a sweet place. when I did the run I had a buddy in a 8 following me and we used radios to talk to each other so I think that will also be a great thing for us to have. I am also thinking that I might start the main course 10 minutes ahead to be a "bird dog" to see whats out there but at the same time I don't want to miss all of the fun.
nice talking to ya!

Unfortunately a train of sportscars always attracts more attention than if you were speeding alone. I remember going North bound on I-5 on my bike averaging 100mph all the way to Seattle and not see a single cop north bound, but I did see a **** load going south bound. The reason, Gumball Rally. I'm not saying were Gumball level but we will attract unwanted attention from cops.
