As long as it's a fun time for all involved! And who knows, maybe by that time, I'll be reunited with Icy Z.

I've got a tentative revised route that will be much shorter but should still give us some good roads. I was going to run it this weekend to check time and distance.

It would still be in the St. Helena/Pope Valley area to start then north towards Geyserville on 128. Stop at River Rock and on to Lake Sonoma. Then south via Dry Creek and Westside to River Rd.
(the end?).

If anybody wanted more we could head out 116 to the coast.

Another option would be from Lake Sonoma take Skaggs to the coast then south. Like Kinkov said it would add a bunch of extra time to the drive.

What time do you people want to meet up? I was thinking
9:30-10 (for you late night party animals ). Earlier would be nice but then I'm probably the only early bird here.
I'm fine with any of the routes and can start at any time. Where will we meet?

Krinkov mentioned the KK in SR where ever that is. I was thinking either that grocery store (name?) at the corner of Calistoga & 12 or Maria Carrillo HS at Calistoga & Monticeto. I guess meet point will be determined later.

I do, but I didn't know if that was official and since I don't like KK I don't know if there was more than one of them in SR. I dirive by that one every morning, so I can find it.
