Alright, I'll be there.

I should be leaving about 7:30 from Elk Grove, which will put me at stoneridge a bit early.

Well, don't get there TOO early, you're gonna make me look bad if I don't show up before you since I live right there haha!

There won't be any traffic at all that early in the east bay, so just take your time, save some gas and just cruise.........

Nope. I'll likely show up sometime around 845ish.

Are guys bringing their significant others?

I'm in the process of booking 1 court for bocce ball from 3pm-5pm. Since we already have lunch in Santana Row, I'm just going to pre-order some appetizers so we can have something to snack on while having a few drinks. The cost for the court would be $75/hr so $150 plus the appetizers. I'll provide more info once they send over the contract and menu.

I'm not 100% for bocce (want to go though!) but if help is needed to defer costs, I'll definately contribute to whatever.

Oh, and as for lunch....I'm totally easy. Doesn't matter to me what the group eats, as long as everyone's hanging out together.

Anyway, ro11dice, are you still going to take a test run of that route this week?
Haven't done it yet. However, I did speak to one of my friends that has recently. He highly suggests not to take that as a drive for a few reasons:
1. many hairpin and blind turns - not for the easy-to-get-queezzy, ahem, VT
2. many cyclists on the weekends - I remember a friend that uses this route for triathlon training
3. high drop offs with no guard rails

It doesn't seem like a good combination for a fun drive.

Well, that settles that as a drive.

Now, please find some roads with a lot of straightaways. <--- talking like this, maybe I should be getting a Mercedes instead?

And if I recall the rangers or whoever maintains that road have put loose gravel on the road to prevent racers from driving wrecklessly.... This was like 4-5 years ago when I was a young and a wild maverick in my FD RX-7 hehe........
