Some GoPro:
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYmYwxAMPmM"]February 23rd - Redwood Rd Loop - YouTube[/ame] At 3:05 I lost a little traction going up hill. It was very unexpected as I wasn't going very fast at all, nor turning very tight. It looks like there was something wet on the road so I think that was the contributing factor. Also later on in the drive, a pair of motorbikes caught up to us and one of them was riding my ass... it was incredibly distracting. In hindsight I should've just ignored it and payed more attention to the road in front of me. Eventually they passed us at what I thought was a really dangerous time... the cars in front of me were passing some bicyclists when these ****s decided to pass the caravan. When they pulled over later on, one of em was counting the cars. PS: the rattle/clicking is from a plastic bottle rolling around in the passenger side door. It was bugging the hell out of me the whole time.

yeah I think Qui tried to warn me over the radio that they were coming up behind us and overtaking, but I didn't really get that until they showed up in my rearview. I figured they were itching to go fast so I gave them some room and let them pass, but once they got by I decided to give chase for a little bit and to my surprise they weren't really going that fast. I kept up with them for a while until we all came up on that slower SUV and we all piled up behind that for a while until the 2 bikers pulled over. By then we were at the end of the route more or less so just a cruise to the finish.

Are there ever any meets/drives near Napa? I feel like most of the activity is in the east bay.

Are there any good roads you know of? It would help give us an idea of what there is and maybe make the drive up. |

Also, not really necessary to wait for anybody to organize one. If you feel like going for a drive, post here and others will voice their interest, then you can organize as needed. That is the whole point of this thread, so hit that subscribe button Quote:

Let me throw it out there to everyone... who would be interested in a drive Saturday morning that starts in Fairfax (at Fairfax Coffee Roastery), goes up to Mt. Tam and ends somewhere? And what time would you want the drive to start?

I'm down regardless of weather. I'll see how I feel as we get closer so start time doesn't really matter for me.
Indecisiveness. I have it.

I won't know if I can go until closer to the weekend, as I have other plans being formed outside of my control... but do it whenever you guys think is best and I'll try to make it.
