Tons of corners, one after another. Even though the limit is 60 you can still have loads of fun without breaking 75-80, mainly by taking the corners at the speed limit. Just sucks when you get caught behind locals since they all cruise through at 30-50km/h. If you just follow them for a while they usually pull off onto a side road and you can continue on, I don't go zipping past them since I don't want to get on their bad side and there's only really 2 or 3 spots to do it safely. Lots of people along the route are nice too and will pull over to let you pass.

We can go fishing too, whoever is into fishing since we're near the bay XD. Too bad I can't tow my boat with the FRS =P

Lol, 86 fishing trip, when we can barely fit fishing gear in the trunk.

I've been thinking about doing this one for the past while...just couldn't justify the distance. I've been told that the roads get sandy sometimes and can be a bit sketch to take corners at speed. Now with winters on, probably won't be doing this until late spring. Would definitely be up for a group drive if anyone wants to plan for one in advance!

Also recently did the forks twice, only problem is that it's too short

I know a lot of people rave about the hairpin - but how can to take this with any speed at all? It's way too tight of a turn, can't even stay in lane going <20 haha!

Also down for winter meet-ups if anyone's interested.

I can get a thing rolling in the main post if anyone else is interested in doing a winter thing.

I'm already rocking winter tires on stock rim. Ballers goin ball.

Taro · 11-18-2013, 11:14 PM

I'm thinking peeps might be more interested in a casual social event than a winter time cruise.

1Cor10:23 · 11-18-2013, 11:34 PM

Yeah I do think a cruise is necessary. Coffee + chat would be great
