Update: The location to park within The Fountains located at the corner of Roseville Parkway and Galleria Blvd, Roseville, CA.

Set in an extraordinary, ambient streetscape, Fountains at Roseville is the first lifestyle center of its kind in the Sacramento region. The center’s namesake is a centerpiece fountain that performs with illuminated jets of water choreographed to music. (Excerpt from article: http://www.rocklintoday.com/news/tem...=6314&zoneid=4

Last update on the when and where before the breakfast run:

Where: The Fountains in Roseville

Depart: 8:00 – 8:15 am

The Run: (map will be available at the meet up location)
East Roseville Parkway over to Douglas Blvd then to Auburn Folsom Rd heading towards Auburn.
A quick stop for a photo shoot at the entrance to Las Gatos in Granite Bay.
Onward to Auburn, thru old downtown to Hwy 49 and down the steep grade to the bottom of the river bed.
A quick turn off to Old Forest Hill Road and possibly a stop for a photo of the Forest Hill Bridge that was used in the opening scene of Vin Diesels XXX movie where he plows a corvette off the bridge to be destroyed at the bottom of the gorge (where we will be). It’s a beautiful road with the river and the gold country at the foothills of The Sierra’s and oh yeh the country side.
Onward to the Forest Hill Rd and heading over THE XXX Movie BRIDGE back towards I-80.
The only freeway portion on I-80 before getting off at Hwy 193 towards Newcastle and Lincoln. A beautiful road and oh yeh the country side.
Turn off towards Lincoln Hills golf course and back towards Rocklin which will bring us right to Mel’s Diner in Rocklin on Lone Tree Blvd.

It’s a pretty casual run with no high speed areas, but does have two spirited parts to the run which I will not disclose here online and oh yeh the country side.

Hey guys, sry I have been under the radar since the breakfast run. I crashed and burned after breakfast during the afternoon football game. Must have been the biscuits n gravy. Been out of town since Monday so this is the first day to log on.

We had a good turnout for the run and a few more showed up afterwards for breakfast. John thanks for making it out this early and also to all that got up early for the run. We made it through the run before everyone and their boats got on the road. It was an early one and coffee was only a few steps away, thanks goodness for Peet’s Coffee. We had plenty of time to make introductions to the new folks that joined us on this run and it’s always a pleasure to see the familiar die hards.

New to the run was Matt and Cooper from V6performance, thanks guys it was great having you along and hope to see you soon on the next run. Mike has some history being a current G owner and previous Z owner. It’s good you have stuck with the family Z/G, not to mention it’s a small world with the peeps we both know. Orrie a newcomer to the Z community just picked up his Daytona Blue 350Z just eight days ago, coming over from the MR2 Spyder family and twisties is in his blood. He could not wait to open up his new Z and throw it into some twisties. I know we gave him a taste of the twisties and not sure he had any opportunities to open it up.

John and Steve were no newcomers to the run. I could not pull away from John on the straights nor the twisties in his G37. Steve just traded in his 300ZX for a vette and it sure does look pur-dee. Charlene’s 300ZX is down for the day and rode with me and took all of the shots except for The Fountains and Mel’s Diner photos. She did a good job.

Pat, moxy and Wes met us at Mel’s Diner for breakfast for a table of about 12, Matt, Cooper and Mike could not stay for breakfast or we would have had about 15. As it turned out the crew at Mel’s and manager got us seated reality quick (for a non reservation party) and we enjoyed the football game on T.V.

All in all I would like to thanks everyone for making it out; we made it with no mishaps and arrived on time at Mel’s Diner. My only reservation was that we did not have time to stop at the river bottom and view the Forest Hill Bridge and also take any motion shots through the 6 mile twisties of Old Forest Hill Road. I am glad that I did not run the bicyclists off the road going down Hwy 49 to the river bottom.

I will post up my pics in a few.

Here are my pics.
