You read that right, fellas! Marathon round-table (or rather picnic-table-in-the-park) discussions during SubRonLA's most recent Fun Run demonstrated interest all around in holding our first TWO-DAY Run here in Southern California, and it has been officially slated for Saturday and Sunday, August 12 & 13. I shall be sending my usual e-mailed notification of these plans around to remind all local members.
It is our fervent hope that at least some of our Northern California SubComMI brothers will be interested in driving down to join us at Yorba Regional Park, just as some of us often join them for their annual fall Golden Gate Park two-day event. They shall be informed as well (and yes, Mike Dory and I are indeed currently still planning to join them at their Run in SanFran one month after our own). The nice thing about a two-day event is that one may of course attend either or both days, and thus fairly easily participate while still allowing ample travel time and/or not using up an entire Southern California weekend if other tourism possibilities beckon. Out-of-towners may wish to note that there is a hotel near either end of the park, and at least one (that I know of) family restaurant bordering the west end of the park. Also, our usual running area includes a typical park-type barbecue grill, should any parties be interested, and of course, personal cooking appliances are also permitted if desired. Canopies and tables are usually not necessary for our group, but should we have a huge turnout, they are popular with park patrons as well.
Here's the website for Yorba Regional Park if anyone wants further information to start making plans:
Hope to see a lot of skippers in August!
Always ready for my closeup,
