I would enjoy coming out for this since I've only done hw9 once or twice (and never in the fr-s), but I don't know if I can motivate to be ready to leave Alameda at 9am. :/

lol, This was the chain of events: watched the video, looked familiar, not surprised, I've driven hwy 9 before, thought "wait a minute, this is the drive I led, mt. tam!", then thought to myself "or was it mt. ham? nope, pretty sure its mt. tam", then "I didn't know hwy 9 went all the way up there, damn, that's a looong drive but might be worth it", then read your caption, "ooooooooooh doh! " |

Hwy 9 south towards Santa Cruz. At Felton we take a little detour onto some fun little side roads that will take us out to the coast, then we cruise down into Santa Cruz. There we will stop at a parking lot and from there decide what to do next... we could go grab food nearby, split our separate ways, go to the beach boardwalk or wharf, or continue more driving back towards home. If anyone knows of good lunch spot in SC I'm open to suggestions. Time for this drive is probably about 1.5 hrs which if we depart around 10:30 should drop us in SC right around lunch time. If you have radios (walkie talkies), bring them!

Hey, we're into this. Easy access lunch option may be Upper Crust Pizza on Mission, just as you're getting back into Santa Cruz - they should have enough parking around back. It would be cool if we could all do a detour onto West Cliff, maybe sneak into Natural Bridges 20min (free) lot for a group pic. Looking forward to seeing y'all.

I wasn't expecting it to rain today but it did up here where I am -- not sure if it rained down south around Hwy 9/Santa Cruz area or not. Seems to be clearing up now here but it's possible the roadways will still be damp. We will run rain or shine tomorrow, but obviously taking into account the conditions of the road, our pace will be likely slower than some of you regulars have seen. Let's just take it easy, enjoy the scenery and call it a fun group cruise... don't want to add to the "injured" list of 86s I've already been hearing about around the nation. Think of it as a preview run of a very cool route that we can run again later, when the conditions are ideal.

Have a good time without me, take lots of pics and video please!
