I am planning a get together for this weekend and am currently negotiating with some contacts to find a meeting place. I figure we can gather for lunch in Daytona and go for a cruise through the loop (Highbridge Rd.) afterward. At the end of the drive (ending in Ormond Beach), I figure we could go for a cruise down the beach then over to a waterhose and rinse off our babies! I am currently working on a rinse spot also! =)

Who's interested?

minimotorin · Feb 7th, 2003, 12:29 PM

I might be able to make this one. Let me know the details as it goes along. But do remember that the Spring event is only two weeks after this date. So you might be competing for peoples weekends.

February 22 at the Picnic Basket in Holly Hill. It is at my father's office Building, 1501 Ridgewood Ave (US1). They normally aren't open, and the rest of the building isn't really occupied on the weekends so we will have the place to ourselves. It is in a good location for us to go on our cruise and stick together. If you haven't heard of the loop, it is a beautiful drive around the Tomoka River Basin area (Tomoka State Park, Volusia/Flagler County line) then a drive through Ormond Beach and the North Peninsula area on A1A. From there we would get on the beach at the Granada Blvd. (SR 40) ramp and cruise down the beach into Daytona. It might get a little busy once we start heading south, but I've done this before in High School with a bunch of lowriders.

I have yet to call the Picnic Basket, but I know they would be interested in catering to us. I'd say lets meet at the Picnic Basket at 1130. If for some reason this location falls through, I will make arrangements with another establishment in the area.

Happy Motoring!!

minimotorin - I would rather have this earlier, but there are redneck races in Daytona on prior weekends which would make traveling from Orlando to almost anywhere close to me a pain in the neck. I figure this would be our February fix and Spring Thing would be our March fix.

The Loop

bobbiemartin · Feb 8th, 2003, 12:04 AM

That area is very scenic and would be a very nice drive. I did a rally there several years ago (in a Mini!) and have ridden it on a bicycle several times as well (MS150 route uses it). It's worth the trip.

Electrc109 · Feb 10th, 2003, 08:10 PM

Here's the details of the trip.

The Picnic Basket
1501 Ridgewood Ave.
Holly Hill, FL 32117

Time: 1130am
Date: February 22, 2003

Directions:
From the North if you would like to take the SLOW SCENIC route (the way I will be driving):
Go down A1A to Highbridge Rd. Take a Left on Walter Broadman Ln. Take a Left on Old Dixie Hwy (which turns into Beach St). Drive thru Ormond & into Holly Hill. Take a Right at 15th St. The building the restaurant is in is on the corner of 15th and Ridgewood Ave. Parking in rear, before Ridgewood.

Coming from the North down US1:
The complex that the restaurant is in is on the left hand side (across from Suntrust) in Holly Hill. The traffic light before the restaurant is Flomich Ave (see the Eckerds on the corner).

From the Interstate:
Take I-95 to LPGA Blvd. and go East (left)
At Ridgewood Avenue (US1) turn left
The complex that the restaurant is in is on the right hand side (across from Suntrust). The (only) traffic light before the restaurant is Walker St.

Parking is behind the building accessible using 15th St.

Cool!
We should be able to make it to that one.

Electrc109 · Feb 14th, 2003, 12:15 AM

I need to know how many people to expect for this trip. The restaurant is going to be open for us on a day they normally wouldn't. If the turnout is going to be big, it would help them a lot if I knew what you guys want to eat. I have a menu, and if by Monday we have a large potential turnout, I'll post it.

So, who is going next Saturday?

List me in the maybe column. It depends on how everything goes between now and then.

minimotorin · Feb 14th, 2003, 02:21 PM

Lot of these folks are in the maybe column. You might want to reconsider having the restaurant open just for us. When I hosted my event there were several folks that did not come that had said they would, if that happens here you could end up with onlt 2 or 3 cars and that might **** off the owner of the establishment. Just my 2 cents.

Electrc109 · Feb 15th, 2003, 03:06 AM

my dad owns the building that the restaurant is in. I don't think there will be a problem, but will mention it to her on Monday. Thanks though!
