Norcal/Bay Area blackwing meetup

[savethemanual]

I have never met anyone else with a blackwing yet beyond some rare drive bys. With summer here and the roads looking nice do you folks want to do a meetup?

We can do Alice’s or open to any other suggestions.

That's 4 hours away from me, but I'd be game on the right weekend.

I'm in Half Moon Bay. Will gladly do a mountain to coast loop with you locals as soon as my order gets in.

 

[NorCal Blackwing]

Sounds interesting! Keep me posted, hopefully this turns into multiple drives on different weekends on different routes. I'm in the North Bay which is a real stretch for a lot of folks, but the roads up here are epic.

I'm the sole Blackwing I'm aware of that's been to a Breakfast Club Rally (Breakfast Club Rally) so if you are so inclined I highly recommend checking it out too

I second the general idea and @NorCal Blackwing's request to have a north bay meet.

I'm up for a north bay meet, someone local please lay out the details.

Getting back to Alice's and the Peninsula, might I suggest we make our separate ways to Alice's on a 3rd Sunday morning of the month, like, maybe 5/19, hang out there til 1015 am or so, and then caravan over to Cars & Cabernet in San Carlos - a fun drive north on 35 to 92, and a not-that-fun drive the rest of the way, 92E -> 101N ->Harbor ->Industrial and hang out again for pizza and wine* among snobbier cars.

(ya, I keep pimping AutoVino ... my conflict of interest isn't financial, it's just that I hang out there)


*or crepes!

Your conflict of interest seems motivated by the food.

I haven't even mentioned the salmon salad...

I'm down in Hollister, but I'm interested. I only have Saturdays available to me.

I'm game. I'll try to bring a Porsche friend and a 4BW, maybe a Subie.

For a North Bay Drive - send me a PM and I believe I can create a 'North Bay Drive' group here.

My suggestion - we meet for the Pre-Stage C&C at the Marin Civic Center at 7:50am on July 20th to get a Blackwing corral going, then drive this route: Pre-Stage Suggested Route - Google My Maps

Airline Hwy in your neighborhood is a great road; we should get a South Bay to Central drive going one day too!

I ll try to make it too. If I am not feeling lazy and sleep in.

I actually haven't been down that route since I was a kid (that was a long time ago). I used to live at the base of 130/Mt Hamilton road in San Jose. Used to run that on my motorcycle all the time.

Sounds like a great Idea. I'll come from the 209 for this.
