I will post a schedule with map, waypoints and meet times tonight.

Looking forward to using a full tank of ethanol! 🌽🍺🍸🍷

That time's fine with me... well I don't enjoy waking up early, but realistically early is the best time to find clear roads.

We'll probably need to re-hash the driver safety since it seemed there was some drafting going on...ha

Would love to join but I'm watching the kid that day. Appreciate the early start time though, like a throwback eh @PMok?

I'll join for at least the breakfast portion. Have to be back in stockton by 12:30

I'm already doing Mines Rd on Sunday morning with @jsimon7777 and I want to be able to sleep in at least one day this weekend so I'm out. Take lots of pics & vids please.

So, Saturday morning at 7:30AM?

for the start meeting point I'd suggest the parking lot at the intersection of 92 and 35 (Skyline). It's just a little ways up the hill and I think will have better traffic flow to roll in and out of compared to the intersection you marked. From 92W you turn left onto 35 and the lot is immediately on the left side.

Black Rd and Hwy 236 will have some really narrow sections that we will have to be careful on as a group, if I remember right. other than that the route looks good! Looking forward to trying the 9 Burger!

Ok Cool. Thanks for the input @PMok !

I have updated the map with the new meeting location.

To your point regarding Black Road - Yes, it is narrow, but it has been repaved. If we all give each other 4 car lengths, no one should get nervous. It has some great switch backs.

See you all there at 7:30 Sat - anyone is welcome

Hmmm, I want to go to Alice's... It's been a while.

It's not the other 86s I'm worried about while driving on such roads... it's the oncoming traffic!
But hopefully traffic will be light. To be specific though, we'll be stopping at Alice's around 8-9AM for breakfast, so anyone running late can catch up to us there?

I'll add the event details to the 86DRIVE events calendar.
And yes I will give out STARS for those who safely participate in this drive.

[Pwolf]

Uhg, it's early... I'll be leaving for Alice's shortly. I should be there by 8:00-8:30.

Fuuuuuu. I passed out without pluging in my phone last night. Barely woke up...

[Pwolf]

Not the whole group unfortunately

Drove Mines Rd today with @jsimon7777 and my buddy with his V6 turbo Mustang that only has 4k miles on it. Nice to see him finally logging some miles on it!

How's the condition of Mines Rd now? Less gravel? Did you turn around at Junction or did you continue on down to San Jose?
