General

 

Sunday, May 31stth at 10:15am, sharp, we’re off!  Check below for departure point and driver’s meeting time.

We will be making another run again over familiar roads. The run is about 100 mi., not counting getting to the starting location and returning from the trip’s end. We will be heading through Lyons Valley, along Old Hwy 80 and even on Hwy 94, through east county.  See the map below for route and profile.

 

Bring FRS radios, w/ privacy codes, if you have them.  It is much easier to keep in touch.  There will be times for breaks and fuel stops.

 

I will pre-run the drive to get a better estimate of timing, but cannot guarantee that.  Just be flexible and plan on a day’s event.  You can always depart early, but just let someone know. 

 

If you are into mapping / GPS applications and care for a dump of the information, drop me a note.  I have a Garmin GPS V unit and utilize MapSource v6.15.6, as well as National Geographic TOPO! v4.2.8.  The latter was used to create the maps provided herein. 

 

The following link is to a Google Earth file that can help you preview the drive.  Just RIGHT CLICK and select to download the file.  Once you have the file and Google Earth installed, just double click on the file. You will want to use the “TOUR” feature for automatically follow the route. 

 - Drive tour file

 

I also have a route file in the GPS exchange format – GPX. In Jamul, you can take a LEFT at Jefferson Ave for a shortcut.  This is the actual route I am taking.  My Garmin has a bit older map so it does not provide for this alternate.  There is also a discontinuity at La Posta Rd, but I am sure you can figure that one out. Go with your instincts. If not, give me a shout.

 - GPX route file

If you want the BIG file of maps, get them here.  It’s a PDF file of almost 4 MB.  For Figures 3 & 8, the loops are run counter-clockwise. 

 

If you have any questions, drop me a note or post on the rx7club.com forum, at the appropriate thread.
