I'm from Santa Cruz and I would love to join anyone for a mountain run some time. I have never driven Calveras, I live on Hwy 9, so I like driving that a lot and Skyline too. You guys ever been up there?

Man sometimes I wish I lived in cali cause there seems to be a few very good downhill spots around here (bellevue / renton, WA) There seems to be no place to drive where are no people around... sigh <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/butbut.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':but:'>

Yo, where you guys at? I'm in South SJ. If you go up Calavaras and keep going that should be Calavaras, I believe it's 2 lanes. The one lane one is a turn off of Calavaras, it's Sunol Pass, you can see the lake on your right during the day, Sunol Pass dumps you back onto 680. I'm not sure where Calavaras goes. Come to the meet on the 11th at D&B at the Great Mall 7pm. Be there. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
I guess you guys didn't go to the National Convention so I don't know you guys, maybe I saw you at the Fremont BBQ.
