Putting this potential spring run up to see if there is any interest for an overnight Viper Club Run to Solvang. In the past, we ran the Los Padres Forrest as a club one day event called the "Condor Run". An alternative one night stay in Solvang would be similar to the 1st half of the "Condor Run from Ojai to Hwy 166. Then a left on 166, The Cayucas Hwy, to a very nice winding canyon run at Tepusquet Rd. > Foxen Canyon > Los Olivos > Solvang. One night accommodations in Solvang with the afternoon shopping, lunch, wine tasting and an evening in the town. Home the following Sunday morning as individual travel.
WHAT:- Condor Run to Solvang with overnight WHEN:-April 13-14, 2019

Sounds like fun to us!
Who else is in?
Randy & Diane
Sounds great, count Ben and Lisa in!
Thanks
Whoa, Big Hitters in the T-Box. Just need the "World Famous Belvederes", and then the Vipers will come!
Best to make hotel rooms through Expedia or some other Hotel App for one night accommodations
Hotels:
The Corgue - Great hotel
Mirrabel - 7 rooms
Royal Copenhagen on Mission in town, park your viper in front of your room
Chumash Casino - 5 miles east
I'll find some more later. We will take the left route as listed above. Those wanting to return back to LA the same day can come with us to Solvang and back the 101, or out through Frazier Park to the 5 and return. Maybe the President would float the run to Central Car Vipers for interest?
Just booked a room at royal copenhagen but it's a two night minimum so we will be staying until Monday.

Try the Corque, you should be able to get a Saturday night single
Jennifer and I are in. We miss seeing everyone. This looks like a great event. Thanks Eric!

Tempted.
Count me IN 8) Will try to get Madona to come With !
Once again, Harley has a track meet. Spring semester is so hard to get out. You guys have fun.
Our website was recently updated to offer a new calendar feature, which allows our community members to suggest an event posting to our master calendar!
Consider posting your event on our master calendar; See picture below:
Information added to initial post concerning location of meeting place for Solvang overnight event April 13th, looking forward to this run through the Condor Reserve and the back way into Solvang.
This sounds like a really fun run. Ruth and Nino are in. From what the guys have posted, we are booking our won hotel. Any thought to getting one with a special deal? Wadda ya think Lance?
I will look into it..... ;)
I talked to reservations at the Corque. They have a 2 night minimum as well.
Looks like Eric was right. Best way is to book thru Expedia or similar for the best rate.
The hotel room block rate is actually higher than the internet specials so no advantage with a group room block.
Nick & Holly will be there.
Great ! Got you and Holly added !
It will be a really nice drive !
Unfortunately, we won't be able to make it after all. Schedule conflict, bummer.
:-(

It will be a really nice drive up through Ojai and come in the back side to Solvang.
We have dinner reservations at Cecco in Solvang at 6:30 for dinner out on the patio.
This run will be excellent. Through mountain passes and terrain we don't see very often, Route is as follows:
Meet at Coffee Bean West on the South Westlake Blvd Exit, the left over the 101 bridge about 2 blocks to the Chevron Gas Station. Parking is on the south lot of the Gas Station. A Light breakfast can be purchased at Coffee Bean.
Coffee Bean Address
968 S Westlake Blvd
Westlake Village, Ca
8:30 AM head north on 101 to Ojai exit. We travel to Ojai and the join Hwy 33. There is an intersection and gas station we can pull over on to regroup. Once regrouped, we head north on 33, Mariopsa Hwy. There will be a stop about 2/3rds up the road to again regroup. The terrain changes for the last 1/3rd of the run. Viper lead driver will stop at Santa Barbara Pistachio farm outlet just before Hwy 166. This will allow everyone to catch up and regroup.
We then turn left on 166, the Cayucas Hwy, for a great scenic drive towards the coast. We will need to pull over at the Tespesquet Rd Exit and regroup. Tespesquet Rd is an excellent winding road heading towards Foxen Canyon. Fess Parker Winery is at the west end of Foxen Canyon. A stop there is at your choice. We then head towards Hwy 154 into Los Olivos and into Solvang.
Lunch is on your own in Solvang. Many restaurants on the Main shopping area of town.

Look forward to seeing some Viperae-type people
