Hi folks,

Hopefully, this good weather will keep up, but below are the details so far...

When: Saturday, January 19th at 9:00am
Plan to depart for the ride at 9:30am sharp

Where: The beginning rally point is in San Ramon on the map. Right now, I'm thinking of meeting at the Home Depot. I'll update this page if that changes. End point is roughly Grizzy Peak above the Caldecott Tunnel, but we'll continue on to lunch depending on what you guys want (see below).

For folks who want to continue on after lunch, we'll head to the Berkeley Marina for that meet. https://mbworld.org/forums/events-ga...1-19-13-a.html

Route: The route is approximately 30 miles and should take us an hour or so depending on how many times we stop. There are plenty of gas stations in San Ramon, so please be filled up before we take off.

At a high level, we'll take Crow Canyon Rd, Pinehurst, Skyline, up to Grizzly Peak. https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid...671d782aa66b1f


So, the lunch question is, Greek or Dim Sum?


If you have any questions, PM me. Hope to see some of you there!

Sounds fun and weather should hold up.

Several events this weekend. I just saw the following as well. http://www.mercedesfairfield.com/car...redirect=false

count me in! Looks like I will have to keep my friday night drinking to a minimum due to the early start :-p

CoolBDPhenom03

Yeah, I prefer to sleep in too, but logistically, this makes sense for the other noon gathering, for the folks who want to do that too.

I'll probably meet you guys there at the Marina, since I have a CHP exam that morning. I won't be able to make the drive up with you guys, but hopefully I can meet some of you guys at the Marina.

how bout SUM GREEK !!! LOL both sound good! ...awww man...my car just started to build today...its B5 status

CoolBDPhenom03

Ok, so unless we run into some weird circumstances, Simply Greek should be open at 11am for our brunch/lunch before we potentially continue onto the Marina meet. Here's the address. Parkin will be street only.

2929 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley, CA 94705

Don't forget to check out the route and to full up before we meet. Feel free to bring cameras, GoPros, and radar detectors We'll stop at a few vista points to get some group shots in.

Get some shut eye and I'll see you guys in the morning!

tfthach13

Sitting this one out actually (can't make the Marina trip either). Have fun guys!

anthonymckay

I overslept this morning, so I'll just meetup with everyone at the Marina. This might be better anyway, as my girl wants to go checkout the car meetup there. Have a fun drive guys!

CoolBDPhenom03

I'm here. We're across from the Home Depot entrance in the far corner of the parking lot.

Btw, I forgot to mention that the PD is right across the street so no immediate shenanigans

CoolBDPhenom03

Hey, there's still time

CoolBDPhenom03

Thanks to Sidv22 and biglee73 for coming along for the ride. We also ran into anthonymckay and farhadahmad at the Marina.

You guys missed out on a very "spirited" ride. I imagine biglee or I will post up some videos soon.

biglee73

The Marina was packed.

biglee73

I'll probably swing by the EuroSunday meet tomorrow AM.

CoolBDPhenom03

I would, but I have to be somewhere at 10. Maybe I'll swing by for a bit.

I think you and I left just in time. I passed Berkeley PD on the way out Someone texted me that they started threatening to tow anyone illegally parked.

biglee73

I'll be out there around 9:30'ish.

Yeah the Marina was crowded. Compared to the last year's photos, today looked a lot more crowded.

CoolBDPhenom03

How long would you say it took us to circle the parking lot? 30 mins?

biglee73

Probably like 15 to 20 minutes to drive around.

anthonymckay

How is this event? Was thinking of coming tomorrow, though the 8:00am part makes me a bit sad, haha. Is it worth checking out?

Anyway, bummed I missed running into you today! Met up with CoolBDPhenom03 at the marina for a bit and then walked around to check everyone's rides out. Couldn't believe how packed that place was! Was also surprised at the lack of AMG presence there.

biglee73

I've never been to a EuroSunday before. Its by Starbucks so its a good excuse to drive and get coffee.

The Marina was way too packed; reminded me of the import car show days I attended years ago. I was behind CoolBDPhenom03 for a lap around the lot and was able to check out a few rides.

There were a crap ton of BMWs.
