Thinking of going for a jaunt on New Years Day. Anyone game? I'd leave SF around 8AM or 9AM.

OK, since johnc is being a flake he's dubbed me master of this ride. So, since I have total discretion, here's how it'll go:

SAN FRANCISCO
Meet at Zeitgeist.
Sidestands up at 8AM or so.

LOS GATOS
Meet at Peet's Coffee
798 Blossom Hill Rd
Los Gatos, CA

CAPITOLA
Meet at AJ's Fuel Market at rougly 10AM.
836 Bay Ave
Capitola, CA 95010

Discuss routes. Ride. Some possible routes:
One
Two


So far I know of a few people on roll call:

SAN FRANCISCO
Desmoquattro
sfarchie
Alfonso

LOS GATOS
???

CAPITOLA
Eric (BMW Guy)
???

Anyone else?

Wow...that'd be a 250 mile day for me, much of it on slab. Lemme think about it and see if anyone wants to take a shorter jaunt that day.

Bummer, man, I wish I could go. The weekdays are my fave time, but this year I'm working all night at the bar, then I'm going to a work an afterhours. I'll just be finishing brkfst when you're getting up for the ride. Have a good one  [moto]

we can make the ride down from capitola all back roads, if that will make it more tolerable for you.  there are some cool twisties that go the back way into carmel from capitola.

a presto,
johnc

Huh?  Cuz Joe isn't sure he's organizing a ride.  Therefore, it's tentative. 

Edit:  oh, you meant the ride you're organizing.  Well, post up the info in the format for the stickied calendar, and I'll add it.  Have fun.   [thumbsup]

Ah, skipped that part. DucMouse is borrowing a Mustang while she's here. The threads all blend together after a while...
