<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi Mark,<br><br></div>A few points that I could add.<br><br></div>First, I re-drove the route Saturday. It was almost entirely free of debris. A couple sections had some shmeg on the road, but better than I expected considering the heavy rains last week. We'll just have a few sections to go (very) slowly and enjoy the scenery!<br>
<br></div>Second, if you wish to refuel in Eugene, there is one gas station I stay pretty loyal to right along the route to the start of the tour from I5. They don't charge for air either.<br><br></div>When following these directions, at #4, turn right on Willamette and there is a 76 station about 4 blocks up the road. <br>

Tour</span></b></div>
<div><font><b><span style="line-height:115%">Greetings driving enthusiasts! Please read on for a hopefully fun upcoming event!<br clear="none"></span></b></font></div><div><font><b><span style="line-height:115%">When:<span>
</span>October 12</span></b></font></div><font>
</font><div><font><b><span style="line-height:115%">Where: Southern Willamette Valley and
Siuslaw National Forest areas</span></b></font></div><font>
</font><div><font><b><span style="line-height:115%">This fall driving tour will consist of
a 150 mile route during the early Autumn, hopefully late enough for some nice
fall colors, but early enough to avoid any severe weather.</span></b></font></div><font>
</font><div><font><b><span style="line-height:115%">The route is a bit on the short side in anticipation
of some participants driving long distance to arrive at the starting point,
which will be on the south end of Eugene at Spencer Butte Park.<span> </span>From here we will travel south west through
some rambling hills and valleys on the southern end of the Willamette valley,
then further south.<span> </span>Turning north, we
will skirt along the Siuslaw National Forest, then head west toward Mapleton
for a lunch break. <span> </span>Thereafter, we’ll
head back east towards Junction City on some mellow country roads for a nice
cool down drive back to the valley.<span> </span>From
here, participants can hop on Hwy 99 and disperse north or south to I5 and
home.</span></b></font></div><font>
</font><div><font><b><span style="line-height:115%">Routes will consist entirely of two
lane tarmac roads.<span> </span>This includes some
state highways and also some county lanes.<span>
</span>Although the wider two lane state highways in this area are very nice, we
will mostly avoid them as they are frequently heavily traveled, resulting in
afternoons staring at the bike lashed to the back of a Winnebago.<span> </span>Much of the route we will follow is highly
technical, variable in elevation, narrow and twisty county lanes which will
thoroughly challenge your Lotus’ superb handling capabilities and exercise your
driving cravings even at normal highway speed limits!<span> </span>We’ll have a few sections of epic state
highway as well for moments to relax and lash down all the random debris, CD’s
and old French fries that worked their way loose from their hiding spots through
the curvy sections.</span></b></font></div><font>
</font><div><font><b><span style="line-height:115%">All manner of cars are welcome.<span> </span>Other car clubs may join as well and it’s
likely we will get some co-attendance from the local PCA region. Feel free to forward the invite to any interested parties.<br clear="none"></span></b></font></div><font>
</font><div><font><b><span style="line-height:115%">Note also that Spencer Butte has a
very nice, short (but steep) ascent to the summit offering an excellent view of
the Willamette valley and mountains to the North and West.<span> </span>One could easily arrive early and get this
hike stomped out in about 1.5 hours and then head out for the tour immediately
after.</span></b></font></div><font>
