Please come join the DRP on one of our more "Fun Runs" of the year!
This is a run we brought back last year, and it was a great success, so we are back at it again in 2009!

It is hard to find a day drive that allows you to see more varying landscape than you will on this route. Great elevation changes, twisty roads and we even had some snow on the sides of the road in the high country in 2008. Licanos is a nice mexican restaurant that has hosted our lunches and events a few times over the years, and they have always done a nice job.

You can see some pics and responses to last years run at the link below:
2008 SRC Run

The proposed route will once again take us East from Mesa toward Superior, turning north to SRC, to Show Low, West to Payson, and South back into the valley.
It is approximately 325 miles round trip, about 6 hours drive time.

We will meet at 7:45AM at the Starbucks at 1641 South Stapley in Mesa. It is just off the 60 on the SE corner by the movie theater.
Departure time for 8AM sharp, so please be gassed up and ready to go by then.
Map to Starbucks Meeting Point

Thanks for setting this one up again Dan. Count me in!

This was a great drive last year... I will have my buddy in town that weekend, but I will bring him along for the ride.

We will be attending this! It looks similar to the route we took on the Twist and Shout run...

See you all there!

I want to go. I have to talk my dad into going and taking the GP so he can get more miles on his car for his first oil change. :lol:
