I like early starts - 8 is fine - earlier is OK if you want?

We could meet up at Eastridge ?

That's a pretty bold statement right there, the BEST road in Norcal... given there are so many great roads to choose from.

We demand you identify said road, so we can evaluate for ourselves!!

Every other Norcal back road I've been on in the last 15 years has had worse pavement or worse traffic. There are roads with better views out there, and maybe some at lower altitudes, but none with better pavement or less traffic.
