Arrow Annual Gizdich Ranch Pie Run 3 (Sat Oct 31, 2015)

Even though summer is over the weather remains fantastic and the roads still beckon… So let’s drive some back roads in search of some sweet apple pie. It’s time for our annual drive down to Gizdich Ranch in Watsonville, CA! One of our most popular destinations for some delicious apple pie or other fruit pies. You’ll want to eat a slice there and take a whole pie home with you. Maybe get some ice cream and apple juice too.



Saturday, October 31
(Yes it’s Halloween! but costumes are optional) @ 12PM noon.

We’ll meet up in San Jose at Almaden Plaza. Meet up point: Chevy’s Mexican, Almaden Plaza Shopping Center, 5305 Almaden Expy, San Jose, CA 95118

From there we’ll take some backroads down to Gizdich Ranch. The plan is to roll out at about 12:30PM.

Final destination is Gizdich Ranch, 55 Peckham Rd, Watsonville, CA 95076. If you just want to meet us there we’ll be there probably around 1:30-2:00PM.


Route Map (we'll be taking County Hwy G8 and CA-152):

Also, I was planning on going over this verbally with everyone who comes out for the early leg, but like all of our drives, safety is a priority. This is not a race or a Touge style event to see who can keep up with who.

Everyone has different car setups/mods, tires, driving styles, and comfort levels. Nobody should feel like they have to drive above their comfort zone. If you see another driver in your rear view that is uncomfortably close to you, don't feel like you need to go faster - just maintain your pace and hopefully that will be a clue for them to slow down a bit and increase the distance between them and you.

Additionally, even though we're getting an early start there will still be cyclists on the road to watch out for. Please give plenty of room when passing and try to avoid passing if there's a blind corner ahead where you won't be able to tell if oncoming traffic is approaching.

These are very technical roads and even after driving them for the past 11 years, I still do not allow myself to get too "comfortable" on them. Lets give them the respect they deserve. Thanks.

yes, you'll get a star for safely completing the drive with us!
As always, if you should crash or die during the drive, no star for you.

A small group of us are grabbing lunch at Almaden Plaza. We parked by the Chevys but we walked over to the L&L Hawaiian BBQ to eat if anyone wants to join us there (it's a short walk across the mall)
