Pasadena holds a slow leisurely cruise every year.
Starts about 8am on Orange Grove and continues down Colorado to Sierra Madre Blvd.
Always well attended.

The TRE Motorsports Porsche "Cruise" through the canyons and hills is not a "walk in the park." But for us "trained" AX'ers ... there were some GT-3's that were holding things up. It's not that we were driving that fast or over the speed limit, we just weren't slowing down for the corners as much as some pedestrian Porsche owners. I would recommend making sure your tire pressures and shocks are set more for performance then comfort ... if you go on the Porsche Cruise.

During the good hour long meet up/coffee klatch part before we drove off ... there were a bunch of neat fast cars to check out including a real and super rare 959 Porsche ... that didn't run with us ... just on display, plus a variety of Porsches on lifts to study from below.

Speed depended on where you were in the line, I guess... }:) Not sure if I want to do it again this year - the cruise was a bit too ... um... brisk for my taste.
