Hey guys,

I recently moved back to the bay area with my FRS. Looking forward to meeting some you guys at future meets and events.

Also, what are some good roads around here? I've been itching to take my car out for a proper drive, but I know of any good roads in the east bay where I live. Anyone have an recommendations?

Check out 86drive.com anything going on will be posted on that site. Next big meet is the 86 fiesta. Drive to follow. But the site also has roads posted to take the cars out for drives. Welcome back to the bay.

Thanks! I looked at 86drive.com, there's some good information on that site. I'll see if I can make it to the 86 fiesta and some of the other meets posted on the website. See you guys around.

Hello,

Not sure where in east bay you are but Redwood Rd all the way up to Grizzy Peak Rd is a fun road to drive. Great views too once you get near the Berkeley/Oakland area. You can start at either end depending where you are. Here's a link to the google maps to give you an idea.

Sweet. I went to hwy9/skyline blvd/la honda road a couple weeks ago. Roads were nice, but there was a lot of traffic. I'll probably head up to that road sometime in the next couple of weekends in the morning or evening to avoid traffic. Anyone else is welcome to join haha.
