Last time we went there there were too many bicycles on the road. They do not move over or share the road, A lot of single digit salutes....Have fun.
Three day week end this will be really crowded.

Chris mentioned last time that park ranger will give out ticket for this kind of run due to the complain from resident there. Too much noise and stuff.

I'd still run up there, there's nothing they can write me up for. They just want people to chill out up near the top so the astronomers can sleep (they do work nights).

I think this is a great run but for solo runs. There are not only pot holes and cyclists, but also a lot of gravel that'll really screw up whoever is behind you.

Best part of the whole road is del puerto out to patterson.

Chris, if you do the run, I'll go. The last you organized a Mt Hamilton run, it was a blast!

jondimellow are you coming to the Monterey/Pebble Beach Run on Sep 23rd? It'll be fun with lunch on Pebble Beach and a free cruise through Pebble Beach on the 17 Mile Drive along with the Carmel Valley Run.

I wish I could but I have way to many car events coming up and need to make sure my wife (who's birthday is on Monday) does not feel neglected.

17 mile drive is twisty enough but you run at golf cart speed

NO! we will be no where near highway 1. We will be going the back route by Laguna Seca raceway. Well , actually we will be on highway 1 just for 2 miles to get into Pebble. Highway 1 is too slow (30mph).
