Roseville is actually a good short distance away from Tahoe, so lots of good (empty) twisty roads there. Haven't been there for a really long time, but I recall going in a big loop inside this crazy maze of roads between Aurburn and Placerville.

There's a great road just outside of Georgetown. Main St. in Georgetown turns into Wentworth Springs Rd. It's about a 2.5 hour drive with the last 1.5 of it being nice and twisty. Leaves you 23 miles from Tahoe when you hit 50. The road is in pristine condition too. It would be a fun drive with a whole bunch of us.

So going back to our previous survey of what roads people wanted to take... we already did the top 2 choices, Hwy 1 and Woodside/Skyline. Next most popular votes were for Mt. Hamilton and Panoramic Hwy. We already talked about Pano and will probably do that one in a little bit. For this coming Saturday morning does anyone want to do Mt. Hammy then? Cen Cal folks could even meet us at Junction Cafe or the Observatory.

Any interest from Sacramento/Cencal folks? Might be a rough haul for bay area folks but that's what drive junkie do. I'd offer to help organize but considering how far I am from the area, I'd prefer somebody more local to do it. Quote:

Thinking start from SJ side. Near that Chevron we stopped at last time we did the recon run up and over, at Capital. 4 hours is plenty to do that route.

I might be down. I have to get to Fremont as I never did get my wheels to powdercoat yet so I could do Mines probably but I have to be back to umpire so wouldnt do all of Mt Hammy. But only if you start from Livermore though. |

If you haven't already, chime in if you prefer Livermore or SJ start.

I'm good either way I think. What time are we looking at? Usual 7am? need to be back to EB by ~10 for an appointment. Mt. Ham via Mines is a long haul, so I may pass depending on the timing .

I'd love to make this drive but I accepted some OT on sat. I'm trying to make extra money so I can add new toys for my ride. Lol
