Her pacing seems ok, looks like she's just not having a very good day.

But I digress... yes, your girl will lose her sh*t

Don't you know, I live my life a quarter-pounder at a time...


for those ten seconds or less, I'm free.

When : 8AM , 4/30
Where: meet up @ Chevron off Sperry(15051 Rogers Rd, Patterson, CA)
Leave at 8:30AM
Head up Del Puerto Canyon to The Junction, left onto Mines Road up to the Lick Observatory on top of Mount Hamilton...hangout for a bit...then cruise back down to The Junction for food and a beer. People/car watch then after that if others show up they can head whichever way they'd like. I will take Del Puerto back to I5

Leaving now, be there around 8:10

We made it onto The Junction's FB page! Kind of..barely see us in the backround of a photo of a R8(believe this is one was one of them we saw on one the 86Drive earlier this year)

[undefindedt]

Couple crappy pics from today.

Lot's of fun hanging out with you Dan and Michelle(right? Sorry if im wrong)
Good fun cruising, too bad about my dumb TPMS but whatever
Now I really need tires, those rears are done

The Junction is open and awesome still! Menu is different, no Burnt Ends on it..guess recipe didn't come with the purchase
Looks like they will be BBQing during Summer too though.
Liquor license is a plus but now gotta be careful people.
Too many cyclists today(Devil Mountain Riders run today) but besides that it was great!
We should do a drive there sooner then later and pack the lot with 86's

[GenRuleAThumb]

Good times, lots of cycles =(

Yosemite run up next.

[Clipdat]

Thanks for the pics, glad you guys had a safe drive.

Junction looked like it was poppin!

Twins spotted!

How was the road condition going up to the Observatory? Still gravelly or better now?

[undefindedt]

Going up to Observatory from Mines was great...not too bad at all.
Coming back down from Observatory to Mines was a different story...3-4x much gravel..all I heard most the way down till you get back into the Upper San Antonio Valley/Ivy Canyon was ding ding bing ding bing bing ding
I had about 3 pieces fly up and hit windshield..so yeah stuff going everywhere



Hopefully within the next month since weather is better more people will fling the gravel off the road

oh that's weird, gravel going one way but not the other? guess more people are going towards San Jose ... the descent from the Observatory to Mines used to be my favorite drive.

no report from the Marin drive on Saturday?

Sorry I missed the drives this weekend... @MyRx and I had a long drive to and from Monterey, to watch ... other people drive haha. Sure it's fun to drive, but sometimes it's great to watch how the pros (and gifted amateurs) do it.







More photos available at 86DRIVE.

The Marin drive was great
No traffic or cyclists so I was pushing it
Now I really need tires bad as all 4 went completely bald
Too bad I went solo again

@undefindedt I've been meaning to ask you but keep forgetting.

When we did our last drive and we were going from Sunol to Mines Rd, how did you beat us all there? This is the route we took and then on Vallecitos I lost you. I thought maybe you decided to bail and then once we got to the start of Mines you were waiting on the side of the road up ahead.

WHAT IS THIS SORCERY, I WANT SOME ANSWERS!
