Some thoughts:…..
Would meeting at the "traditional" RONA location work for everyone? Seems to have been a good place in the past.
Considering the hot weather potential an early meet/drive for me would be preferential, say leave no later than 7am? That way we could go slow and any problems encountered could be hopefully remedied, with everyone staying and arriving in a group.
Should we set a max speed so we don't get spread out all over the Malahat like last year?
Should we have a designated camera car(s) that have a passenger/camera mount to take the pics/movies? Frank in his speed machine has done a nice job of this in the past, but I don't know if he is too into it anymore.

Hope you guys don't mind me tagging along this year. I will be taking it slow as this will literally be the first time on the road with the bus. We will need some time to get to know each other.

I'll be there. Not 100% certain what I'll be driving, but I'll be there. I could bring my bike - it would be faster than the Splitty was last year!
