NorCal drive this Sunday?

Posted this in the FB group, but you can help spread the word here.

I'm thinking of putting together a drive for Sunday. It would be around 90 miles through the Santa Cruz mountains, but not all the "typical" routes. Some of these twisties I did on my Moto and they're super technical and sometimes one lane.

Who's down?

This looks like a pretty damn good drive! It's unfortunate I can't make it.

This weekend is the half moon bay pumpkin festival. Unless you want to slow roll most of the way, I suggest another time. Plus that route through big basin will be a one lanner right before entering the park, can't go any higher than 30mph.

I'd be into it. Not sure about the half moon bay event traffic though?
Let me know if you throw together something else.

I think I'm going to scrap the plan. It looks like they're supposed to be huge crowds this weekend.
