Anyone try this route in SSJ?
On Saturday night, I decided to go for a quick drive, and went by IBM's Santa Teresa Lab site. Basicallyl, you take either Santa Teresa or Monterey Highway down to Bailey, and make a right. Monterey Highway is by far more fun than Santa Teresa, but the caveat is that there are sometimes more law presence there.
Once you make a right, you'll end up crossing Santa Teresa (unless you took Santa Teresa), and on your right hand side after Santa Teresa will be the IBM site. If you keep going past that (and you can build up some good speed there), you'll get into the hills. You'll be forced to make either a left or a right turn (it's a T-section). I took the left one, and there was a winding road uphill.
Some of the corners were pretty fun, and can be a little misleading, so you gotta be careful. I didn't keep going, as I got a feeling of some kind. About half an hour after I got home, it started raining. Lucky me.
So, anyone else try this course before, and know anything more about it?

Yep, that is a good windy road. If it is the one I am thinking of, then eventually you will reach the entrance to IBM Research lab and you will need a swipe or a passcode to get in.
There is street racing on Bailey and near Santa Teresa some nights. I don't go, but my friend told me about it and you can see all the burnouts where the finish line is. Be careful racing in this area because I think it is a bust

pablo, you are talking about bernal. there is an ibm site up there (almaden research), baily road is a bit further down the road, outside of town. if you go out baily road, then take a right, you will eventually come to a stop sign. if you turn right there, you will run into almaden road, used to be a nice (but short) looop. if you go out baily road, then go left, then right at all the stop signs after that (I think) you will come out in watsonville, and the hill running down into watsonville is really really nice.
