Yes it's back.  Richard and Charlene Palkovic have once again volunteered to host a day drive in the Hills of San Diego County.  Richard has been asked to mix it up a bit.  So there will be some rules to follow.  Absolutely no GPS.  Second all Vipers must have a visual Navigator,  And third all Drivers will be blindfolded,  no exceptions!   Just checking to see if anybody is reading this post. HA HA.  Actually this drive is one of the most scenic in the State.  So mark your calendar, this run always has a great turnout. ;)

Charlene and I are seriously thinking of attending this event!  :-X
Has Richard improved his driving skills at all?
And what's with that orange Viper he drives; copper tail or whatever it is;
it's like, LOOK AT ME, seriously?  8)


Suggest we all bring a map.

I'm in for sure !!

I checked with AAA, and they are all out of Braille road maps for this area. If anyone has an extra Braille version, please bring it along.


Those roads North of San Diego are fantastic, and Viper friendly, and the winery is first class.

Don't bother we will find our own way  ;D

See everybody there.  8)

Hey Ron, nice to hear from you see you there.

Demoe and Laura will be there.

Roland is in and this time I am bringing a special lady - my Daughter Erika.

Please add Nino and Ruth to the list.  Iwould like to remind Richard that I can't handle taking the curves at 100 mph.  :o

I will be at the Krispy Kreme in Orange at 8:30 and will leave at 9:00.
Who is coming to have donut (or two)  with me?

Please add Dan +1 to the list (either Mayo or my daughter - not sure yet). Don't want to miss out on Richard's Run! Two Copperheads are better than one, right?

Keith will join in on the run. Rita may sit this one out.

Great time on the run Sat. The weather was perfect, the roads beautiful.


A big thanks to Richard for putting on this run. Especially liked meeting all the people from LA, Riverside and Orange Cty that made the trip down. Huge turnout for a Spirited Spring backcountry ride.


The Winery finish was a huge hit. Instead of a banquet hall chicken dinner, everybody split into small groups of 4-6 and had a chance for great conversation (a little wine didn't hurt). Everybody was laughing and sharing jokes and stories with their lunch companions.


A great start to the Viper Spring driving season.

Spending the day with great friends and driving awesome roads is what makes this club so much fun to be a part of. 

Thank you Richard and Charlene for putting it all together !!!
