Thanks for organizing this!!! It looks like I'll be there for at least some of it. What time do you suspect we'll be departing the starbucks parking lot?

I work about 10 minutes from Monrovia. I do not know the hotels there but the area is nice. Also its probably about 35 minutes to san Dimas east on the 210. If you like peacocks you can stay in Arcadia which is on the south side of the 210 and Monrovia is on the north side.
Thanks Tonyooc,
Monrovia it is. Looks like a lot more parking at the hotel in Monrovia than in Claremont. Also closer to the wife's family.
See you all Saturday morning.

Monrovia is very nice. This is where we had the WCR 2 years ago. Make sure to take your wife to old town Monrovia. Tonyooc needs to upgrade his motor....
Monrovia to San Dimas is 15 minutes max.See you there
Thanks Greg,
Google has it at 18 min.

Oscar, I'll meet up with you guys at the Mobil Circle K
Damn, was really hoping I could get in on this, need some drive time. Was holding off on a response because my awesome father in law is having some health issues and I won't be able to swing it 
Thoughts are with you all, wish I could be there, have a great time guys

Family first...
We will miss you Eric. Your beast of a 914-6 is always a show stopper.
With luck perhaps we can do another Idyllwild or Julian drive before WCR2021

bump
I’m on call for work this weekend, I was trying to get someone to cover for me but no luck. So you boy’s have a great time.

Do we want to move our departure time up to 7:00 AM so there is time to grab a coffee or restroom break in San Dimas, for those so inclined?
We should be passing Oscar and the other at Imperial/57 right about 7:15 when they depart.

Same here, excellent job on video.
Delighted you and your husband took the time to came out for the drive.
I enjoyed listening to the back story on your green 74 1.8.
These outings are so refreshing. Keep up the good work
on your 914. You two revived another 914

Thanks for including this Porsche geek in the mix.
I had fun, perfect route and activities. Good planning, Greg.
I love the look on people's faces as we all drive by in these unique cars. You know they are thinking that we are having much more fun in life than they are!

The video was great. Wish you had included some clips of the folks talking. I see their cars on the screen all the time and I read their thoughts on the page, but I’m missing their voice.
