This meeted turned out so great last year it was only fitting to do again. Not to mention the fact that you guys seemed stoked on having it again when talking to you at Stinson. It will be the same thing as last year pretty much. Only I need to find somewhere/something for us to do once we get there so we dont' have to deal with agnry old parking lot attendants and all the other parking situations we found our selves in. For those who didn't go last year it goes like this.
-We meet up at safeway on woodside road in Redwood City around 8am
-We head over to the 76 with 100octane pump gas for the people who want to run that
-After getting all the cars ready to go we head out.
-We first head up 84(woodside rd) I like to think of this as the warm up road. Lots of longer easier turns to get a feel for your car.
-We then head southbound on skyline rd to highway 9
-Once we get to 9 we head south/west on 9 into santa cruz. This road is quite a bit more technical for those who haven't been on it and I really don't recomend stretching your legs on this road if its the first time driving it. The morning dew can make it extremely slick so I hope to have everyone(myself included) be careful when driving down this road.
-Once we get to santa cruz we will do something, then eat, then hand out some more(maybe go to the boardwalk like last year?)
-How you get home is up to you, after the very exhausting long drive in and hanging out in the sun all day I just opt to take 17 back over the hill and onto whatever freeway you need to take. HOwever, if you feel you wouldl ike to take 9 back by all means go for it.
-The last thing you need to do on this meet is try to keep up with me and Edwin
Just like last year I will have two, maybe three groups of people and each group will have a "leader." There will be the spirited group, the cruising group, and if enough people would like to have it an intermediate group. I will be heading off the spirited group as I have most likely driven the road more than anyone and feel comfortable enough doing it. If you wold like to say be at the back of the spirited group just tell me and i'll make sure to let everyone know where you want to be. For this group I really really need everyone(again myself included) to check your ego's at the door. I really don't want anyone going off a cliff or into a ditch. I have almost crashed a couple of times on these road and its not a fun experience.
DIRECTIONS
From the northern Penninsula.
You can take 101 or 280 south to get there. For 280 you take the woodside road exit, make a left at the light on the offramp and head back under the freeway. Keep heading down woodside rd until you get to the flat part. Safeway will be on your left hand side, across teh street from Chucks Doughnuts and right next to starbucks. For Taking 101 south exit woodside road and head west. Continue up woodside rd untill you see safeway on your right hand side right after starbucks and chucks d's.
From San Jose
Same as above only only make the oposite turns off the freeway.
From the East bay. Take whichever bridge/freeway you like and get to 101, From the bay bridge/San Mateo bridge take 101 south. From 880/237/Dumbarton bridge take 101 north. Then follow the above directions.
If anyone has any walkie talkies that you could bring that would be great, we had some this time at stinson but I didn't know untill it was too late.
So let's set up the list like this, list your name, the group you would like to be in, and if you have a preference as to where you want to be in the group list that as well.
1.)Zach(98eclipseRS) - spirited group.
