Southern California Participants

For those in Southern California who wish to join for the first day of the event, the easiest meeting point is the lunch stop in Pasadena. An alternative plan is to drive to Holister the afternoon before and stay overnight to join us for the full drive down. The driving leg after lunch is over roads many of you I am sure have been on through the mountains.

Some questions have been posted on other threads so this is a Q&A to all them.

2) The event is open to any and all. The drive down is on fun back roads done as a group to make it more fun. So invite your friends if you like

3) Families are welcome to attend. If they get car sick, there is a group of families going direct on Friday to meet us in Pasadena.

4) The deadline to sign up is May 16th as hotels need to be assigned and any extras released. Rates we have are guaranteed so if you book last minute rates will be higher if not with the group as a FYI.

2 questions:

1. Are you or anybody planning any events doing the opposite (e.g. SoCal to NorCal)?

2. If not, how much for just the Pasadena lunch (which I am only 4.5 miles away) and/or the day 2 event? The half event link doesn't work.
