CAUTION:
Only experienced drivers should go on the Mount Hamilton drive. It is over 20 miles of twisties each way. There is no place to refuel on the way so I'd recommend filling up before or during the potluck. Parts of the road get very narrow and some of it is rather bumpy. Consider your suspension settings when going on this drive. This road is nothing like a race track so I'd recommend against stiff settings. There will be others using this road as well, such as people visiting or coming back from the observatory, motorcyclists, and bicyclists.
General rules: When you see an oncoming car, or motorcycle, or bicycle, slow down! When you're going around a blind corner, stay close to the right side of the lane and slow down! (Large SUVs and sometimes even firetrucks share these narrow roads.) The car in front of you might slow down suddenly for a turn so do not tailgate!
Alum Rock Ave usually has police on patrol, and the observatory does have at least one police officer on duty, so have both license plates on and keep your revs low to avoid getting a ticket. Do not cause trouble for the rest of us. Since we'll have so many cars, we might expect harassment from the police.
Once again, only experienced drivers should go on this drive.
