Angeles Crest Mega Run 2011

KingZee

Hey guys, a few of us were talking about doing an Angeles Crest canyon run so I thought I'd throw a thread together. I was looking at possible routs and there are a few "mini" runs up from Tujunga and down in La Canada. I skipped those for the sake of putting a big run together that I've done in the past with Audi/VW guys (about 60 cars) that's about 116mi and passes by Newcomb's Ranch for some food on the way down. Beautiful drive the entire way.

I'm also thinking of picking out some photo shoot spots and I know of a couple of really nice sweeping turns I can setup my camera by and I can go a little further ahead to setup and wait for you guys to come down.

According to Google it's about a 3 hour run. Talked to Tripe's and came to the conclusion that it's best to leave as early as possible for these runs. Since this is a pretty long run I'd say 6-6:30am meet 7am take off.

Wais, I'm sure some of the 350 guys would be down...please pass along the info since you're the leader of their clan

I would do this but I am moving back into school that weekend so I won't be able to. Ugh, it should be a spectacular drive, only second to the Ojai run.

Jamaica

sounds good to mee!!

xdeslitx

the driveway at that starbucks sucks

KingZee

I'm ok with that but I'm wondering if we should do Sept. 10th just to give people enough time to get on board? I know Drew (40th) was saying the 27th is his b-day weekend too? Christian/BB, would you be able to make Sept. 10th? Trip's we can do one of the mini runs before if you want or if you guys want to just do the 27th I'm good with that too.


Thanks for the heads up on that, haven't been to that starbucks in years...you recommend anything around there with a decent driveway and lot? It's your part of town. I just picked that in case anyone wanted to grab some coffee it would be right there, plus that's where we met years ago for the Audi/VW run.

UA theaters parking in la canada

wait where are you planning on starting? in sunland?? the road where jack in the box is at?
isnt that big tujunga canyon not angeles crest?

Jamaica

ya the 10th is good. Just need a confirm day. before HIN i wanna do ojai

KingZee

Check the route on the link I posted. Going up from Big Tunjunga canyon and coming down in La Canada. I guess we can do the opposite but coming down Angeles Crest Hwy should be more fun. It would give us better timing to stop at Newcomb's Ranch for some food too.

KingZee

Cool, yeah just trying to get some more people to chime in to solidify a date.

sensi09

Adventurous route....definitely lives up to the mega part

xdeslitx

im just tripping out about meeting in tujunga because theres been so much police activity in the past month

but the best place would probably be Vons but the side entrance

If it's a small turnout, there's a 7-11 just about at the start of big tujunga
