Mulholland to ??? Oct. 18th
I know this was discussed a couple weeks ago, but are you guys still up for a little canyon fun on Sunday, October 18th?
Maybe we can repeat the route Jack and Tyson completed, or find something new... Whaddya' think?

I'm not sure if you mean Saturday the 18th or Sunday the 19th, but I'm definitely in.
Where abouts on Mulholland? I'll be coming from Palos Verdes, so hopefully not to far from the 405? I can't wait. Cheers, Grind

Oops! Saturday the 18th. I was thinking, thus far, Mulholland west to Encinal canyon and down to PCH. Maybe we can stop off for lunch somewhere on PCH near Pepperdine. Or unless someone has a more extended route. Maybe we could go up to Ventura...
I'm open to any plans, and loose as far as routes. I just want to drive some twisties with some other Porsches.

Sounds good to me. We could continue further west than we did last time.

I'd love to add in go-kart racing afterwards, followed by some really good beer at a nice English pub. Or maybe a pub frequented by drunk sorority girls, since I'm single now.
Whaddya think?

Ah, Jeez Tyson...
How 'bout we drive up to Kirkland/Seattle, WA., and hit her with a defrosted salmon?

Or should I say (judging from your studly prowess and multitude of conquests), hit any number of the exs with a salmon?

A nice route is to do what we did last time, then jog up Las Virgenes back to Mullholland. Between there and Cornell is a really nice stretch with smooth, fast sweepers. Then continue past the Rock Store up the really tight section to Kanan. Then you take Encinal all the way back down to PCH and end up in deep Malibu (past Zuma IIRC) where there are lots of great beaches, photo opps and lunch joints. I like Encinal because it is recently repaved and not as brutally tight, technical and treacherous as Latigo or Decker; plus, it is sparsely populated (non-residential) until you get right down near PCH.
Another nice route is to turn the other way off Saddle Peak and head down Las Flores/Rambla Pacifica to PCH, which dumps out at Dukes (restaurant). Then you can go west/north on PCH and go back over the hill via any of the aforementioned roads which put you right back on Mullholland and also near the 101 fwy. As we experienced on the last run (and the last few days too) there has been some sporadic heavy fog around here, so it is best to have a few alternate routes in mind. Visibility was pretty poor this morning and the roads were damp.

Hopefully you'll be there, Chris, to show us these routes. I know PCH, Encinal, Mulholland, etc., but none of the others you mentioned.
I used to ride my bike up Latigo. Descending Latigo on a bicycle was very hairy at about 40-50 mph.

Chris, is that Duke's restaurant an chowder house? Just curious if it's the same as the famous Duke's in Seattle. (Probably not.)

There's Neptune's Nest up near County Line. I haven't been there in decades, but hey, maybe we'll see Nick Nolte or Dana Delaney drunk up there.
We can also knock on Cher's doors and see if she'll let us in for a smoke on her peace pipe. She's near Pepperdine in that friggin' Mediterranean fortress.

Well, my BMW is lowered with Bilstein's and Eibachs, plus my motor is chipped with headers, so maybe I can try and keep up.. Plus I grew up In the area, so I know Encinal/Decker/Mullholland pretty well.

I'm thinking of getting hold of weatherman Dallas Raines to see if he wants to bring himself and his Pantera groupies...
