peet's coffee near El Paseo de Saratoga, San Jose, CA - Google Maps


Let me know if anyone will make it out for sure! Otherwise I will probably sip my hot beverage, wait till about 10:15 and then go driving!
Ah - I missed this! I am actually less than 2 miles from that plaza and would be down for a drive.

When/where is your next drive? I should be able to make it.

I work a hospital schedule, but I hope I can meet up and go for a drive sometime soon!

I'm not sure why my photo isn't posting...

Very cool, those routes are some of the best driving in the Peninsula.
We've got a few folks here on the hospital schedule, so maybe you can meet a few of them and still join up on meets!

Next couple of weekends look busy for me, so maybe not until Feb. Of course if anyone else wants to put something together sooner by all means please do.

just wanted to mention that the MR2sday guys will be doing a short drive up from Saratoga to Alice's tomorrow night (Tues 1/21). Leave from Saratoga Chipotle at 6:30PM. Dinner at Alice's around 7:30PM or 8PM. Not 100% sure I will join them for the drive but I may stop by for dinner - I will be in the MR2 Spyder.

Anyone interesded in joining for either portion (I could expand the Patterson drive too)? You could continue on Mines over to the potluck in SJ or follow us back to Patterson Pass If so post up and we can set a time place to meet.

Damn that sounds awesome and I would totally join you, but I came down with a nasty cold yesterday (was also sick with the same thing on NYE, wtf??) so I'm just gonna try to take it easy since my 30th bday is on Wednesday. Don't want to be sick for it!

If you're still planning on going, I think I will join you. I've been itching to drive with someone other than myself and wouldn't mind going down Mines again.

Yeah, lets go with:

Where: Starbucks, 223 S Vasco Rd, Livermore
When: 9:30am, roll out at 10am.

Plan is to drive Mines to the Junction and then decide from there where we follow it back or possibly take 130 back to the valley.

Won't be able to make it tomorrow, but I'll add it to the calendar.

Anybody up for a last minute ride out of Winters/Vacaville into Beryessa area? Maybe leave at 1pm or so from Steady Eddy's in Winters. Shoot me any ideas.

Pictures from the drive today with @finch1750 and @pumice . Unfortunately no shots with @pumice since we didn't take pictures until after he left... even then, our options weren't that great. Had to work with what I had:







Mines Road also takes another victim (my windshield):


Despite that, as always Mines is quite fun to drive. The somewhat overly-excited/hyper dude at the gas station was amusing as well. Don't know if he was high or just excited to see three twins in one spot.

I also have some GoPro of the mines drive (for some reason I couldn't get it to turn on after we stopped at The Junction :\). I'll do something with that later... maybe count how many rocks hit my windshield :\
