Fun road for sure! Great Choice! Stop by Tomales Bay Oyster Farm for some fresh Oyster (Raw or cooked).

I also moved to Fremont not to long ago. I also came from the east coast, namely Norfolk VA. The Model S and the 86 is in their natural territory in the Bay Area.

So it looks like I am going to be free on Sunday Jan 12 and so I think I'll go for a mountain drive. Anybody wanna join me? Possible routes I am considering...

- Hwy 130 to Mt. Hamilton
- Hwy 84/35/Pescadero with a little bit of Hwy 1
- Hwy 9 down to Santa Cruz

let me know if interested, we would head out in the morning and probably end somewhere we can stop for lunch.

I might be down, it's been too long since I've been on a drive. Any of those routes sound good to me, most likely mt hammy or Santa Cruz would be nice since I've done the pescadero drive so much.

I got tired of commuting with this high octane gas, so I used my lunch hour to drive down Pinehurst and back today. It was completely open with no slow cars in front of me holding me back! Absolutely amazing!

I'd be down for a Sunday morning drive, but I can't commit. Going to a friends wedding on Sat and I'm not sure if I'll be 100% (ie hungover) Sunday morning

LOL understandable. OK well it sounds like we have you and Chris as maybes. So by tomorrow I will pick a route and meeting point and post it up. May not be a super early morning start since with the colder mornings it's getting harder to wake up early and get out of the nice warm bed haha.
