Pearl white is so beautiful. I've gotten tired of all colours especially black and blue, but pearl white is just so pretty.

Do tell!

The 89 to 88 wasn't bad but still a 2 hr drive before you find anything fun. I tried taking some side roads near Tahoe but meh...

Go back to socal or stop saying "the" before freeway numbers.

Sorry, the best roads are in the Santa Cruz mountains.

Santa Cruz mountains roads are very fun, but I don't know about "the best." Best in the Bay Area? Sure. In California? Lots of other amazing roads including Hwy 33, 36, ACH, etc.

@PMok @finch1750 @MisterSheep - Anyone planning on scheduling any drives for this weekend? It's the last week in June already and summer is going to be gone before we know it. It's probably wise to be doing a drive every Saturday, if not Saturday and Sunday.

I was planning on going this Saturday for a Mines run to test some aero.

I'd be interested to drive this tomorrow afternoon! Haven't driven Mines all the way but I enjoyed the drive to Lake Del Valle a few weeks back for the kickoff and would love to have just kept going

I'll probably be out in the hills this weekend. Wife is having tea with my mom and sister in law, so I'll probably go 9 to Santa Cruz tomorrow. The wife wants to go for a drive Sunday, probably picnic in Half Moon Bay.

If it's in the morning I'm probably up for a drive!

Most of the time we do mornings, to avoid traffic and the heat. But don't let that stop you (or anyone) from going out whenever they can to explore the great back roads the Bay Area has to offer.




Since the summer is indeed zooming along, we should also think about scheduling one of the bigger drives of the year... the annual Gizdich Ranch Pie Run. I'm gonna look at the calendar and see what weekends look open in Aug and Sept... generally I'd like to avoid conflicts with other major car events like race days and car shows.

Hmmm, I really need to get out of track mode but maybe I'll just swap the brakes and leave the SX2s on. The Primacies I have on the stocks don't have that much tread left for a drive lol.

What time Saturday? 7am meet up?
