No sign-up required, just show up.

And jeans'll be fine, I'm sure. This is Florida, after all.

Gannet.....
Suggestion....Make up a flier and give out at the Wednesday January 10th TampaBay Vettes meeting...Would guess you need 50 or so.
See you at the meeting.

Could you please add my wife and I to the list of people who would like to attend as well as have brunch at Landry's?

I was kind of surprised that my wife was interested in doing this since she generally doesn't like going with me to car-related events (other than the International Car Show in November). Normally, I meet up with a small group of B-body guys (2 others in the group own Corvettes), mostly because I was already friends with a couple of them from before I got my Corvette. Not a bad group of car enthusiasts, but I think it would be nice to start doing some activities with a group composed mostly of Corvette owners...

This run is 100 miles, takes less than two hours, and goes over all 5 of the major bridges over Tampa Bay: Sunshine Skyway, Gandy Bridge, Howard Franklin Bridge, Bayside Bridge, and Courtney Campbell Causeway.

At the end you are invited to meet with us at Landry's Seafood House for their famous Sunday Brunch.

We will meet in front of the Office Depot behind Hooters and McDonalds on US60 in Brandon, just West of I-75. This is the location used by Tampa Bay Vettes for their cruises, in case you are familiar with them. The address of the Office Depot is 10057 Adamo Drive, Tampa, in case you want to use a GPS or Google/Yahoo to find it.

We will leave promptly at 9:00 AM, and should arrive at Landry's, on Rocky Point, just before 11.

With tax and tip, figure on about $30 per person for Landry's brunch. Although I have not had it myself, it is famous in the Tampa Bay area so should be worth it. Landry's has excellent off-street parking with lots of room to park as a group away from other vehicles.

The only other cost besides your gas is a $1.00 toll for the Sunshine Skyway bridge.

Maps and directions will be provided at the run start (at least until we run out). No door prizes, poker hands, raffle tickets, dash plaques, etc. Just a nice drive over the bridges with a group of Corvettes, and brunch and chat at the end if you're so inclined.

You are invited!

If you are pretty certain you are going to come, I would appreciate it if you would let me know so I can know how many maps to print up. If you plan to join us at Landry's, please let me know that as well so we can give them a rough headcount.

Hope to see you there!

Dave
aka Gannet

GOING TO BE A GREAT CRUISE AND TAMPABAY VETTES SUPPORTS YOU ALL THE WAY!!!!!
