[SportDriving] Feb 18 or 19...

[Aleks Tan]

Good Afternoon Fellow Enthusiasts, 
   
  So it looks like the 19th is getting fairly popular and we'll have a decent number of people playing along on this drive. Hopefully the weather holds out and turns out decent but I'll keep my fingers crossed just in case. 
   
  Since we haven't decided on the route yet how about a nice show of (virtual) hands to see where people want to drive. 
   
  My vote is for The Big Sur Loop and weather permitting I will definitely attend!
   
  Regards,
  Aleks Tan

We could always do the 'big sur loop'....

...continue south ~25 miles to Nacimiento-Fergusson Rd > Through Fort Hunter Liggett > 101 N approx 11 miles to Arroyo-Seca Rd > Carmel Valley Rd back to 1N...



It's a loong drive (approx 320mi from SJ).


Alternatively, something shorter (~150mi), like the "Doc Wong route" through the Santa Cruz Mtns (Kings Cyn > Tunitas Creek > 1 > Stage Rd > 84 > Cloverdale > Gazos Creek > 1 > lunch in Davenport > Bonny Doon Rd > Empire Grade > Jamison Creek > 9.


Or the tried and true Mt Hamilton / Mines / Del Puerto Cyn (~100mi via Mines, 150mi via Del Puerto Cyn)


Or something in the north bay... 101 up to San Anselmo... then Fairfax-Bolinas Rd > 1S > Panoramic Hwy up Mt Tam... Lots more traffic up there though (~150mi).


Or there's always 2 day drives.. stuff like... 101N > Lucas Valley Rd > 1N, lunch in Bodega Bay > Stewarts Point-Skaggs Springs Rd (one of my favorite roads in the whole state) > dinner/hotel in Healdsberg > wake up and drive Skaggs back and forth once more > 101N > 175E > 29S > lunch/dinner in Napa > home... (~550mi)...


Thoughts? :)
