Anyway, I'm tempted to come, but since I have to work from 9am to 5pm on Saturday, it makes the though of getting up two hours early a bit dreadful.

LOL I still remember the description from Pashnit.com a few years back when I first discovered the road. "The speed limit is a Draconian 25mph..." BTW in the video I posted above, in the first 2 min or so you see the moto cop pass by going the other way.

I'm probably gonna have to head into work for most of the day after the drive, but I'm always a little more motivated to wake up early if there's a fun drive to look forward to.

Do you actually live on Palomares? Sounds like you know the road well.

I've got too much crap to do on Saturday morning

You guys have fun!

Yup, I'm a Palomares person. Woe is me.

In the past few days, there have been a lot more cops than usual, but they're cruising, not parked, and I always slow down for oncoming traffic anyway so it hasn't been a problem.

Pashnit was a fun site before they went all walled garden on us.

hehe CV has a donut shop on the blvd (< 5min from Pete's) but not sure if it's open on Sats. Otherwise, Safeway has got to have cheaper bites.

Webster Starbucks sounds good to me, say 6:30? Should give us some time to grab some coffee and head out (20mins to CV I think)

lol. Likewise. She says she should get black wheels on her car first before mine. No argument there. I could always get 'loaner wheels' lol

Nice, got approval from the girlfriend as well, but she doesn't want to tag along.. she prefers sleeping in on Saturdays like most sane people.

Why get up on Saturday and Sunday morning at 6am to drive around? Because racecar!

Also, this...

Clipdat · 03-15-2013, 02:42 PM

My wife keeps saying there's no way I am getting up that early, gotta prove her wrong!
