Subgroup Leader

I'm looking forward to my first G/Z meet and I would be glad to help lead a group since I'm famliar with the Woodside area. For some of you not familiar with this route, we should remember to drive very cautiously and safely, especially heading up towards Hwy 84. Also, be aware there will be quite a few bicyclists on the Sand Hill Rd. and Portola Rd. There are bike lanes for them and "Share the Road" signs posted. Please be patient and give them some room. Don't worry, it's just at the first few miles of the drive where they'll be around. (I know because I'm also an avid mountain/road cyclist as well as G-car enthusiast) The San Mateo Sheriff may be present near these areas since it is a popular town to cruise through on the weekends. But, after we leave the parking lot across Alice's the drive gets better. Carving through the twisties and cruising the coastline will be very fun. Let's hope for a good turnout and good weather.

My wife won't ride with me any more. That's why I take my son, he likes the twisties but I have seen is eyes get rather large around blind corners.

Alder is pretty much spot on about the conditions of the drive route, I have leave plenty of time for the first part of the drive to Alice(four corners), everyone need to be watchfull of the traffic and there are couple of quick turns which could be miss rather easily if you arent paying attention, I suggest that everyone re-read the "drive route/directions" once or twice just be on the safe side, I will try to remind everyone again at Stanford before we leave for the drive.

I know this type of reminder might become bit annoy to some, I am just trying to cover all the bases, sure dont want to have any mis-mishaps to ruin your meet experience.

Adrian, The drive should last about 1 1/4 hours if you drive it none stop.


wow alotta people signed up
Stephen, Have time to join us?


Anyone wanna car pool from Daly City?
Paulo, Do you mean caravaning from Daly City? or actually needs a ride? There are quite of few ppl from D/C or SSF signed for this meet, I sure you can find someone to caravan with.

Shane I would love to help out but I may be having to much fun for anyone to be following me. I am not a good role model
It is part of fun "trying" stay with you!

I will help out if I can get a nav system before the run.
What kind of Navi are you installing? and who will be doing the install? The shop in Modesto?

The last time I saw Andy was at my house a couple of months ago. I usually see him at family and friends birthdays and get togethers. He still has his G35.
