I'll have 4 2-way radios that will be used. if you have your own please bring in just in case. better to have extras or backups than not enough.

[xpbr2000]

Also please answer the poll if you plan on attending. If you are inviting friends please post that number as well. I don't plan to have a large group. Small groups are easy to manage as well. So let's start small and see how this goes.

I invited 3 local people. I don't expect them all to come. I expect 1 at the most.

The route and map looks good. Most of the waypoints are familiar to me so hopefully we can focus on enjoying the drive instead of watching GPS.

Since this is in my backyard I'll see if a few other locals would like to join.

[xpbr2000]

right on!

[xpbr2000]

so who's doing maintenance before the cruise

[xpbr2000]

well I've got my 2 way radios working. batterys were garbage but i replaced them with and they can now be on standby for more than 24hrs which is a lot better than before. these should last the whole cruise and then some.

[xpbr2000]

Going to borrow a Gopro hero4 to mount in the car for the cruise. i'll post some shots on the forum

[xpbr2000]

so... I decided to film my ride home and edit it to see how well the cruise edits could look. I'm calling this the Cruise teaser lol

feel free to post your comments. constructive criticism accepted lol
