Nice!
You guys are up by Sacramento/Stockton area or just riding up there?

It seems all you guys have the blue one too?
we're from Sacramento/Elk Grove
Ahh I see
I'm odwn by south bay that's getting mine on Wednesday and wonder if you guys are nearby for some rides in the future
If you guys ever head down to the Napa/ Vallejo area hit me up! We can hit up Lake Berryessa and hit up some twisties! This is my ride that I did with a buddy in Nevada coming back from Virginia City. https://youtu.be/WtTrYeTAoiQ

Nice video. I used to ride a Berryessa/Napa Valley Loop (and bicycle and water ski there) when I lived in Davis and Sacramento.

Good roads. Good times!
In Oakland.......
I ride Berryesse 15-20 times a season.
Oakland hills are great too.......see my vid from Redwood road.
Taking a group to the Hwy 49 aka Little Dragon next month.
Hit me up anytime to ride.

Yeah.... Napa is doable at some point. Need to look up a route and put it together. Got an awesome ride planned for this Sunday. Hopefully will post a pic or 2...

Laureles grade would be awesome on a bike. I only got to experience it in a van when I went there in '05 for the GP races.

I've done the Oakland hills and there are to many stupid **** Boys in 240SX and RWD cars drifting in the hills. I've almost been hit in my car a few times so im not going up there any time soon.

I'd even ride up to a meeting place like Davis or somewhere and ride with you guys from there.

Never done Laureles grade but it looks like that would be a great road.

I try to ride in areas where there is minimal "cagers"

Yeah - Davis and run thru Napa is a good ride. We need to set up a day / time....

I learned to drive on Mt. Tam right up the block from Mill Valley. We should all do that route and possibly down to the coast up to Bolinas Bay! The Panoramic Highway is so nice!
Hope to see you this Sunday Eric. I almost started taking my rear wheel off to send my rear brake rotor out for some milling work then decided I should meet up first!
The Panoramic Highway is really nice.
I guess i like it so much b/c it's just a bridge away from SF.
What are some nice roads near SF?
I have only been to the Panoramic Highway and Alice's restaurant.

SF alone is pretty fun to ride around in the evenings when there is less traffic but since I am a SF native my favorite was getting out and riding down highway 35 to Santa Cruz back in the 1990's, that was another nice road to ride on. Even Just highway 1 from Pacifica/Half Moon Bay/Monterey when visiting Laguna Seca.
Another good ride with Eric and Peter.

Drifter your worried about drifters on Redwood? I have only seen them once. There are also turkey's, deer, cyclist, knee draggers, hikers and a few other things I passed too fast tell what they where lol. Not trying to put you on blast but it's a dangerous sport no matter where you ride.
