The weather is already clearing up here in Sonoma County. Hasn't rained for a couple hours now and the sun is out. The storm system is supposed to be out of the whole NorCal area by early evening. It WILL be clear tomorrow but windy. Bring jackets or something as we will be right by the bay & ocean for group pics.

 

Sorry ANNA but only the peeps going to the ride get the answer.
I'll bet you, getting the answer, isn't going to change your plains.

Wilt, dow an buiy uz cain wytit.

Tony u'll have 2 get it from someone elZ.

........................................Very good both of you-------------------LOLing

 

How rude.

It can't change my answer.. the deal is the old man purchased tickets to something with out telling me months ago. Well, I posted that I could go on this drive. Then I found out about the tickets that were already paid for this other thing and they are non refundable and I can't find anyone who wants them. So, that's why I'm not going to the drive, it's pretty dissapointing for me. So stop picking on me, I'll be at the next big drive/meet.

 

I'll run him off the road for you Anna.

 

..... that hurts. see PM

 

ROTFL.. that totally cracked me up..

Spare ol' Jacko this time around... we can run him off the road together at the next drive

 

It's a deal.

 

Damn, you got Jack101 down pretty good!!
Where do I sign up for the class!!

 

Will you be joining us? All is welcome

 

I signed up at my local rescue mission.

 

So I see the threads for the Rohnert Park, Union City and Emeryville caravans.

Anybody meeting in SF? Are you really going to make me drive over the Bay Bridge twice?

 

I don't recognize anybody else as being from the city. Suggest you just come direct over the GG to the Main meet spot with arrival around 10:30.

 

I'm actually coming from South SF. Should I just go there too?

 

Dayum guys,

I certainly hope it clears up tomorrow. It looks terrible right now = thunder, lightning, rain, & very windy . If this weather keeps up, I might have to bail .

 

That's really up to you. Whatever is easiest. It would be shorter for you.
We went with the East point so any group wouldn't have to deal with the lights etc. but with only 2 you shouldn't get separated. If you do change make sure you take your name off the East list so Dave knows not to expect you.

 

Cool thanks. I will most likely just meet you at the East Bay meeting spot anyway since I have no idea where I'm going. This is my first time going to Bodega Bay.

Dave,
Please PM me your cell number just in case I get lost or can't make it. Bob (speedz) has my number as well just in case you need to contact me. Thanks!

Weather is so weird right now. One second it's dumping like crazy & then next it's cloudy but calm . It still looks promising for tomorrow though .

 

Just wanted to bring the main information forward so people don't have to search page by page to find it again.

Here are the details for the Bodega Bay Drive. The route has been planned and I will be handing out directions on the day of the meet. This will be a leisurely drive not a speed one. Many of the roads are narrow and all are 2 lane. These roads are also enjoyed by bicyclists and tourists so adherence to speed limits is the norm. You'll actually be able to appreciate the beautiful views & scenery then too.

The drive will begin at 11am on Saturday, April 9th. It would be nice if we could actually start on time which means arriving early for instructions and some group pictures.

** We will be using the Trip Computer/Odometer feature. If any of the newbies here haven't learned how to use this function yet check your Ops. Manual pages 2-8 & 9 . The directions I'll hand out will have mileage to each turn-off point. This is being done so that when the group gets split up, and it will, you won't get lost....hopefully. Bring radio(s) if you have them, set to channel 3.0

Bring snacks and drinks as there are no places along the route to stop that can handle a large group of cars until we get to Bodega Bay. There we will stop for lunch at The Tides Wharf & Restaurant. They have a snack bar to buy food stuff.

It's imperative for those coming from south of the Bay that you gas up before you cross over. Once we get started gas stations are rare and not accessible for groups. There will only be ONE restroom stop between the start point and Bodega so plan accordingly.

MAIN MEET LOCATION
100 Shoreline Hwy.
Mill Valley, CA 94941

Note: This is an office building on the EAST side of Hwy. 101. Both Mapquest and Yahoo show it as being on the West side which is wrong.

Directions:
From the East Bay: Take the 580 to San Rafael then go south on 101. Take the Hwy 1/Stinson Beach exit. Bear right and stay in the right hand lane until you come to a traffic light (Shoreline Hwy/Hwy1). Turn right, go under the highway, and the office building will be on your left.

From SF: Take the GG stay on 101 north. Take the Hwy1/Stinson Beach exit. The office building will be on the right side along the exit road.

Dave (whatever) will be coordinating the south/east bay meet locations.

Also the phone contact person on the morning of the meet will be Dan (neur0sis). Cell# 707-486-2656

No more thoughts/comments about rain. IT'S NOT GOING TO RAIN TOMORROW

I'll try to meet up with the East Bay group, but if I don't quite make it on time, maybe one of you from the east bay group can PM me their cell phone numbere. That way I could hook up with you guys as you drive through the City.

 

They won't be going through the city (I assume you mean SF). Here are the directions to get to the Main meet spot in Marin County from 2 locations.

Directions:
From the East Bay: Take the 580 to San Rafael then go south on 101. Take the Hwy 1/Stinson Beach exit. Bear right and stay in the right hand lane until you come to a traffic light (Shoreline Hwy/Hwy1). Turn right, go under the highway, and the office building will be on your left.

From SF: Take the GG stay on 101 north. Take the Hwy1/Stinson Beach exit. The office building will be on the right side along the exit road.
