February Angeles Crest Full Run
Our last cruise to Santa Barbara in November was very nice. But, There is no substitute for a fun canyon run. I think we will be due for a small get together in the new year. I'd really like to go to Angeles Crest again, have lunch at Newcombs and really spend the day going around Angeles Crest. The past few times we've done the Crest, it's been a short run, this time, I'd really like to do the whole length.
What I'm thinking is a start in Pasadena and take Highway 2 all the way to San Bernardino with a stop at Newcombs Ranch. And, a return back to Pasadena with another stop at Newcombs. This will be a whole day run doing both directions of Highway 2 as outlined in green below:
Needless to say, CHP are out in force on this road, it is one of two zero tolorance Highways in California and therefore, we will be traveling in spirited fashion but will be observing speedlimits.
Full details about this Angeles Crest maybe found here:

A February date will give us ample time to select dates. If you're interested in attending, please put your name and available dates below. The date will be selected in January based upon a majority availability.
The run will start at the usual Shell station spot at 9:00 a.m. with a departure time of 9:30 a.m.
1. HFM 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20, 26, 27

In my experience, a full run may not be possible in Feb if the snow stays around. And if the weather stays cold, there will be plenty of sand and cinders on the road.
Angeles Forest and Upper Big Tujunga might be better options, as they are at a lower elevation.
Food for thought.

Tentatively in. The dates all suck for me (2-week trial starting Feb. 7; wedding Feb. 27), but I really want to go and play with my new 6-speed, so I'm going to see if I can make it.
Ditto on the rock chips though, but they're not a deal breaker by themselves.
Thanks for organizing Dan!
