Well, it looks the collective bunch of you have taken badassery to a new level - everyone from top to bottom are to be commended on your efforts.<br><br>
From the looks of things, the first team will be setting foot in Surf City right about this weekend. However, the race is scheduled to go for two more weeks until early February, and as pretty as the PCH can be, county folks are a little worried about you trampling the asphalt as you did continual laps north and south on the road.<br><br>
So the question - where do you folks wanna' go next? We did a little route checking and stuff and came up with three alternatives:<br><br>
Surf City to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and back - sandy beaches, warm temperatures, margaritas & fish tacos as the main draw.<br><br>
Surf City to Vancouver, BC and Back - with redwood forests, rocky shorelines, and a diverse selection of cities, food and brewpubs aplenty.<br><br>
The Little-Bit-Of-Everything/Start What We Finished Option - head down to Tijuana for a few margaritas, head back up to Vancouver for some dim sum, cross over a bit and finish up at Soli's place near Salt Lake City.<br><br>
So whaddya' think? Let us know by voting and we'll see what wins out.<br><br>
Also, if you have maybe some slight tweaks to the basic three suggestions, go ahead and post them and we'll see what we can do

Can't we just find a 1/4 mile track somewhere nearby?<br><br>
What a KR meet-up that would be! <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br><br>
Those are tough choices, Mmoon. Baja sounds wonderful at this time of year, but the road to get there does not.

A little of everything sounds good to me, but Solitude probably just got done cleaning her place from the mess we left there last time. Has anyone asked her if she minds having us again so soon?

Come visit me before we head off to Mexico. I will host everyone at my neighborhood bar and then we can go visit Moon before heading over the Golden Gate toward Mexico!

dude, I know we have KR's up in the Vancouver area, but I'm tired of winter and cold. Take me to Cabo! <img alt="banana.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif">

Montana Girl voting for Cabo...

It's freezing in MI! Let's go somewhere warm!

 

[Andi]

I agree - it is cold in the NE - Let's go to Mexico!

 

[Sans Souci]

I'm with you, Kris: It's Damp Dark City here on Vancouver Island. I'm sprouting moss on my north-facing nether regions.<br><br>
South, I say. Cabooooooooooooooooh.

 

[nadra24]

I'm with muzicgirl, come to the Bay Area! It's nice here, I promise.

If we stop back in Salt Lake City, maybe we can all go skiing.

 

[alan fletcher]

So what's the plan? We're getting pretty close and need to know if we should turn left or right when we get to the big wet thing......

 

[trecker]

South sounds good, then maybe a trip back to the US and follow the Gulf Coast and end up at South Beach FL!

 

[rhoon phast]

They all sound fun...I'd say come to my house, but we'd have to have a ferocious swim leg followed by the crossing of a major wilderness mountain range in midwinter...so...here's my vote. Go to Cabo, then Vancouver, then head to Soli's house. I'm an optimist.

 

[mmoonptdeux]

rhoon - I think your optimism has been rewarded.<br><br>
The poll is technically set to go until Sunday, but there's no longer a need to vote on the route, as I think I've cobbled one out.<br><br>
It took a bit of doing (with help of some free charter luxury Lear Jets from some of those rich casino-owning type folks who were only more than happy to have you VRAA folk there in Sin City), but it looks like all of ya' will have the chance to do Cabo, Vegas, San Francisco, Vancouver, and Soli's house, plus a few more interesting destinations along the way <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

 

[em73]

I vote for cabo, as I'm there right now and it's wonderful. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">
