KRAPROOM
RUN Date: June
19 (Saturday) Host: Gene
Muoio Description:
If you love the smell of oranges
and lemons and beautiful Ojai Valley scenery, you're gonna love this run. Lots
of late blooming fruit trees and beautiful lakeside scenery promise to give this
ride an early hint of summer. But don't let the sweet smells get too far past
your windscreens, cause there's plenty of fun and challenging twisties that
promise to get your other senses going (adrenaline) as we scream down and around
the canyon roads and passes of beautiful Fillmore and Ojai Valleys. Once
your hunger for the road has been quenched with a nice dose of lefts and rights,
it's time to stop and feed faces for lunch at Boccali's Pizza and Pasta, located
at 3277 Ojai-Santa Paula Rd. in beautiful Ojai. Average price for lunch meals
are $8 and the portions looked pretty good size. They have salads, pastas, hot
and cold sandwiches, etc. Once
refueled, it's off again around beautiful Lake Casitas and ending the run at the
Starbucks in Carpenteria, located at 5436 Casitas Pass Rd. Then you are free to
head in your own directions for a nice drive along the coast to finish off the
run. This
is going to be an overall CALM run, yet there are spots where the hyper Miata's
can get down and rip it!!! This run has relatively minimal lights except for the
main town sections, and queuing up should be relatively easy. For
those wondering why this is called the KRAPROOM RUN, look in your rear view
mirror as you leave "Moorpark" Speaking
of backwards for those that want after the run we can do it again only backwards
and end up where we started. Directions: Run
starting at 10:30am in Old Town Moorpark at Coffee Grinder Family Restaurant
parking lot. Location is just West off of the 23 Fwy. Off at New Los Angeles
Avenue/118 Fwy. Head West just about a 1/2 mile to Moorpark Rd. and restaurant
is right on the corner.
