Ventura Fun Run:

[Smart Bob]

18 smarts showed up to participate in the Ventura Fun Run. We met at the Pleasant Valley Recreational Center in Camarillo where the tour organizer, Nathan Bruck treated us to coffee and everyone got a chance to check out each other's vehicle and chat before we lined up for a photo & headed North on the 101 towards the Deer Lodge in Ojai. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and it felt great to get out and tour through some scenic back country and then have lunch with some new acquaintenances. We are all looking forward to the 1 year anniversary celebration at the Smart Center in Beverly Hills next month. There are also plans for another tour/event in April, so watch for any posts.

if you can try to not do the same day as smartmadness in april.

I think everyone involved will certainly try to not have local events take place on the same day and check the threads and calendars to prevent this from happening again. I was personally disappointed that I could not go to the other event hosted by Smartmadness, but I had already committed to the Ventura Fun Run which incidentially was very enjoyable. Let's look forward to having a lot more events where everyone who is so inclined can come out and enjoy a vehicle activity with their smart.

I understand the disappointment in two events at one time, but So Cal is a very broad range and I'd like to thank both Nathan, and Rachel(Smart Madness) for stepping in and helping out to organize these great events that are not in the immediate Los Angeles vicinity. While it is not possible to be at two places at once, people on both ends of So Cal were taken care of, and others in between had to choose. Each event had a very successful turn out, and based on the comments it seems everyone involved had a great time. I look forward to both Nathan and Rachel setting up many more successful events in the future!
