I'm awake (sort of...), heading out in bit. See you guys in a few.

Your record is safe Scott. We got too tired and slept at a rest stop for a few hours. I could technically make it but all I want right now is an extremely hot shower to get the kinks out. This car is just a little cramped to sleep in. Lol

Surprisingly good turn out this morning. Lots of cyclists, but we were nice and organized. Glad i didn't lose anybody along the way. Hope you guys enjoyed the drive, the view and the food (for those who joined us for breakfast). Plus, BBBBBBonus 86 Drive star!

Great Drive! Thanks @BigFatFlip for inviting all of us! Hope to do this again!

I know. I just figured it would have been an epic way to make it to a drive. But of course long trips always take much longer than you expect.

Glad you guys had a blast.

From yesterday's Bonus/Pitty Drive for @BigFatFlip:

And then this morning, Randy and I drove down 128/Knoxville Rd to scope out the Sac/Stockton86 drive route:

They're doing construction and a section of the road had to be traversed via following a pilot car (truck) past the work area. On our way back, the lady holding back the traffic came up to me and we were chatting a bit. Her sister had just bought a BRZ Blue Series and rolled it 10 days later. Luckily she came out alive but ended up with two broken legs and her BF had a punctured lung. Ouch. A good reminder to be safe and know your limits. Safe driving you guys.

Anyone else see this? Greatest roads in the world according to Porsche. Only 1 in CA so far. (Link in the article)

I've driven Angel's crest a couple times when I'm in SoCal. Nice road, but I don't think its any better than what we have around here.

I see some local users have already added most of the good/fun roads in our area... sorry to say, that with all the construction/repaving going on lately, I'd have to say most of them here are NOT the best roads in the world anymore... I think only Hwy 84 between Alice's and La Honda remains as a beautiful pristine smooth drive worthy of the honor.
