GGLC Meeting, Drive & BBQ (19-June-10)

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

We all know how difficult it is to get to the East Bay for a club meeting on a Friday night, so for June the club meeting will be Saturday, June 19, in Danville with the extra added attractions of Mel’s fabulous BBQ and an optional fun run to Danville from Santana Row. The fun run will start around 10 AM, and the BBQ will begin around 1 PM (and who knows when the meeting will begin!). A contribution of a salad or dessert for the BBQ would be nice, but is not required. RSVP for the BBQ is required. Email for RSVP, address, questions, etc…

When: 19th-June-2010, 10 am (drive), 1pm (BBQ)
Where: Meet at Santana Row for the drive or directly come to the BBQ at Mel and Darlene’ place (Danville, CA)

Saturday Drive Update

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Update on the Saturday drive before the BBQ and Open House at Dietsch Werks. We are expecting some rain tomorrow (Friday), but it’s supposed to blow out of here and Saturday will be awesome!

We have a nice route with twisties planned (map below). It will be nice drive taken at a conservative pace. With all the rain the roads maybe slick with run off and we want a fun safe tour. The drive will be led by Kiyoshi (Magnetic Blue Elise) and will be starting from Santana Row at 10 am.
