San Francisco Bay Area / Pre-Holiday Cruise


SVT NAJA

Recommended Posts

Post up if you're interested in a local Team Shelby pre-holiday cruise. Our planned route is a 50 mile run from Saratoga (starting at 10am) to Half Moon Bay following Hwy 9 to Hwy 35, to Hwy 84 (stopping at Alice's for a short break) down to Hwy 1 and north to the Half Moon Bay Brewing Company at the harbor for lunch. This route has a great variety of curves, twisties, straightaways and elevation changes for spirited cruising. See post #18 for our meeting location info. Keep you're fingers crossed for fair weather on the 18th. See you then. Thanks!

I know this is short notice, but I wanted to gauge interest in a local Team Shelby cruise before the holiday season gets underway and while our weather is still somewhat predictable here in the Bay Area (current 10 day forecast shows sun and 64 degrees). I was thinking of a 50 mile run from Saratoga (starting at 10am) to Half Moon Bay following Hwy 9 to Hwy 35, to Hwy 84 (stopping at Alice's for a short break) down to Hwy 1 and north to the Half Moon Bay Brewing Company at the harbor for lunch. This route has a great variety of curves, straightaways and elevation changes for spirited cruising. Thanks!

 

Post up if you're interested and I'll put the details together.

I would probably be interested also. You always do a good job with you cruises. Just so its after Thanksgiving and a ways before Christmas.

I'd possibly be interested as well depending on when and weather. I am a "get the x-mas shopping done early" person. Don't handle the crowds very well.

We are also thinking of getting the Shelby ready for Shelby Bash and loading her in the trailer. We are busy during the holiday's.

Brad, does a week from this Saturday (11/20) work for you, or are you suggesting 2 weeks later on 12/4?

Aggie, does the 20th work for you, or were you thinking the 4th as well? I'm good with either one, but was thinking everyone gets busy from Thanksgiving on.

 

Also, if the weather goes south and there is rain (or the threat of rain), the cruise is off anyway. Right now the 20th looks good though!

So far I don't see a problem with the 20th. I'll check with Scott to make sure he doesn't have any motor cleaning plans before then...... :shrug:

The 4th would probably work better for me. I have major project going on in backyard but it should be done by 19th so I might be able to do the 20th if that is what you decide on.

Jim & I felt the 20th would be better because of the weather and after Thanksgiving people are usually pretty busy with the shopping. Weather is looking fantastic for the 20th.

Jim is planning this, so it is up to him.

Ok Team,

 

The cruise is scheduled for Saturday November 20th!

 

If we get rained out, we'll try again on Saturday December 4th!

 

If anyone has a convenient South Bay meeting spot preference in or near Saratoga, I'm open to suggestions. Otherwise I'll pick a spot and post it next Wednesday.

 

Thanks.

 

Jim

Jim, looks like I'll be on the clock (of course). Hope the ride goes well! Can't wait for another Tahoe cruise next year.... :)

 

Gabe,

 

I'll have an extra beer in your honor. happy%20feet.gif

 

Save Saturday June 25th next year for the second annual "Snakes at the Lake" Tahoe cruise. I'm working on some details and will post it up sometime after Thanksgiving.

The meeting place is excellent. We will be there at 10. I'll try to drum a few other cars from this area and let you know, Brad
