possibly... being a long weekend I will probably want to sleep in and be lazy, but if you guys want to do a late morning drive I may be up for it.

Bunch of lazy bums, Booo!

I'm actually taking my daughter out for breakfast in Orinda then some redwood/grizzly peak/pinehurst since her daycare is closed tmrw and I "have to" take a day off

I'm down for a drive after C&C. Is there a meet up before C&C or are we just meeting there?

I'll be enjoying the long weekend and then we have a Sac meet and I still need to get my rear coils put back on so prob won't make a drive til the end of this month. Stupid work doesn't let me do anything on the weekdays to have free weekends lol

[undefindedt]

Dam i have to work Sunday then off Monday again lol. Forgot to puta request in for Sunday off

well assuming we gather near or at the Blackhawk C&C... a few potential routes we could take.

1) Collier Canyon (really short, maybe combine with one of the others)
2) Mines Rd (feel like we've been doing this a lot lately)
3) Redwood Rd (further away)

let me know your thoughts...

It starts at 8 on Sunday.


Won't most of the good roads be pretty packed with cyclists by the time the Blackhawk C&C is over? Personally I'd be up for a pre-Blackhawk drive but I get up early anyways and don't care about having to park away from the actual C&C lot if we get there a little late so I'm probably alone in that regards.

Been a while, I might be down for a drive this weekend. If I wake up early enough heh.

it starts at 8 but typically we'd shoot to get there early, by 7:30 in order to get decent parking. You raise a good point about cyclists and such, generally the roads are clearest in the early morning. But I am feeling super lazy this weekend and @MisterSheep asked about a drive after C&C, so I'm throwing out those options. If anyone wants to lead or call an early morning pre-drive, please go for it!

Where do you guys like to park? In front of sbux and Lunardi's? Or on the other side?

The C&C show is near the Blackhawk Auto Museum. usually when we get there that lot is already full and we park near the movie theater entrance.
I won't be going to C&C this month but if you guys plan to park together I advise meeting up beforehand and rolling in together.

Cool thanks! I'll look for you guys when i roll in tomorrow!

Ok be sure to check the other Blackhawk C&C meet thread for details.
Back to the drive topic... I'm going to schedule a Redwood drive for right after the C&C so those who want to join can make it.

Let's go for another cruise through the twisties! Join us after the Blackhawk Cars and Coffee for a group drive. We'll start from Castro Valley and take Redwood Rd up into the hills.

Note: the start location is I-Tea's parking lot but they won't be open yet. If you want a drink or snack before the drive, I'd advise stopping somewhere beforehand. Those who are up for it, we can get lunch afterwards.

Meet 10AM / rollout 10:30AM
i-Tea, 20666 Redwood Rd, Castro Valley, CA 94546, USA
