Meet for Bay Area Windy Roads Driving

Any one care to meet and find some windy roads to carve up in the bay area? Like later today or tomorrow.

Sorry I had no plans this long weekend and kinda wanted to find some windy roads to carve up.

The only ones I've been on is La Honda road near 92.

calaveras in milpitas, mt. hamilton/mines rd, red wood road in hayward - oakland, are all good choices. I can't do it this weekend as i'm in monterey, but maybe we can organize one later on. I'd be down for mt. hamilton, and we can all chill up top on the observatory before heading down mines rd. It's a good 50 miles of curvy road which should be fun!

That sounds fun. Let me know if you ever want to go sometime. I may check out some of the ones you mentioned today just to drive...lol

I'm still trying to break mine in.

I had the same thought today. My buddy and I will be tearing up Skyline/Page Mill/Alpine in the Santa Cruz Mountains later today. He wants to take his new (to him) E36 M3 for a run.

Sounds good, I can do the mt hamilton, but I will have to bail on the mt diablo as I have evening plans that day. Unless I can be back in San Francisco by 5pm

The club has done this run before and it is lots of fun. No problem with bailing out early. I would say about half of the folks bail out after Mt Hamilton as they need to leave early or the end of the tour puts them too far from home. Just let other people know when you will be bailing so people do not assume you got lost and go looking for you.

I will be there with the top down enjoying the sun.

Anyone up for windy road driving this coming weekend?? I'm free this weekend if anyone is up for it. Would like to try going towards Saratoga to 35 or La Honda road.

Maybe. I'm in the city, and could go either direction. Early morning or evening is best.

drive around los gatos/saratoga area. it's highway 9 and goes all the way up into the mountains and connects to skyline (highway 35). it's easiest to drive through downtown saratoga since it spits you right onto the 9 once you pass through town

Thats usually where I go. I take El Monte off 280 all the way up through page mill past skyline to pescadero. It's a gorgeous drive. Oh and going on a weekday is MUCH better than weekends. Weekends attract bicylcists/bikers which scare the crap out of me.
