they could probably use the help... don't know if they have budget cuts or what, but I never see them anymore in the spots where they used to always be. Not that I'm complaining...

PMok: Can we get an official rendezvous time for Peet's on Sat?

No freaking way I'm getting up at 7 AM on Saturday, working all day Sunday again too. 70 hr 6 day weeks no OT FML.

I'd love to join you guys but I got a flat the other day and I'm running on one tire that skinnier and taller than the rest. Alignment is off and barely get any traction. Oh how I miss these drive events.

[Clipdat]

Damnit! Sorry you can't make it out and that you're having tire issues.

Maybe a possible excuse to upgrade to some aftermarket wheels and performance tires??

Official rendezvous time is at 7AM. We usually chit chat for a little, let people drink their coffee. Let's try to roll out and begin the drive at 7:30AM. That means if you're running late, text or post to let us know you're gonna be late. Or meet us at the next spot.

We will probably arrive at Sunol station around 8:00AM-8:15AM. Hang out there for a bit, let people fill up their tanks with the sweet nectar of the combustion gods. Latecomers can meet up with us there. Let's say chill there until 8:45AM. Then roll up to Livermore. Not sure where we should stop there, I'm not too familiar with the rest of the route. So if anyone wants to pick another regroup spot before the drive to Tesla and/or Patterson, chime in. Depending on the time then, I might split off at that point if I have to go to work, or I might still be up for a further drive with you guys.

Sweet, thanks for the update!

with that booooost you should be able to leave at 9AM, make the earth spin backwards, and meet us at 7.

We'll probably get to Livermore about 9:30 and stop somewhere. Once we figure out where that is, you can meet us there! And join for the later drive...

[Clipdat]

All good! Priorities my man, priorities!

The speed limit on Palomares? Pretty much nobody follows that. The popo are rarely out, and they do have their special hiding spots. I'd say there are four spots total, plus some light patrolling. They also have specific times they're usually out. 7:30am on a Saturday is probably not one of them. 10am maybe, because of joyriders clashing and crashing with bicyclists. Anyway, I'm tempted to come, but since I have to work from 9am to 5pm on Saturday, it makes the though of getting up two hours early a bit dreadful.
