im guessing your taking 94 east right? this is the roda lambos and porsche guys have there drives. I have been telling people about it but no one is ever up for it! i cant go to this but if you made it a a sunday im down but sat. i work!
You can do it; looks like it's shaping up to be a nice cruise. I've been on at least part of the route before in the NSX; some really beautiful scenery up thee and nice curves!

We can stop in Julian for sure. I estimate we should get into Julian by around 1030. Unfortunately, most of the lunch places don't open until noon, which is why I suggested lunch at the end of the run. However, the pie shop in Julian should be open in the morning if anyone wants to pick up a nice applie pie

^ nah, it's a nice, scenic road and good for the wind-down portion of the run. I prefer high speed sweepers to tight corners, anyway, plus, I don't know about everybody else, but I'm not looking to do anything stupid; I'm all for some spiriting running, but let's keep it sane and safe.

the 79 is just as good for that kind of driving altho lots of cars on it. i heard a lot of hype around sunrise but it seems more like a harley cruising road. road does seem like it goes on forever. speeds can be very fast yet safe on sunrise tho.

Yeah, I'd like to try out the 79 sometime, too; doesn't look like it's on tap for this cruise, though. Sounds like a good excuse to plan another cruise in the near future! 
One good thing is the several times I've been on Sunrise before, there's never been much traffic. Now if we wanted some tight curve fun, the Banner grade down from the backside of julian to the desert floor is pretty fun to run down and back up.
