These are not straights. If we do the full cruise which is 4 hours, it's about 1100 turns. So you should have a enough twisties for a while!

Yea, the roads I am thinking of are not high speed at all, they are just a constant barrage of endless wonderful corners. Unless we are talking skyline, then you just mob on it as hard as possible.

LOL, even though I'm 6'1", I still manage to sit low enough so that nothing below my nose can be seen by other drivers

And I use phone books strapped on my feet to operate the pedals

Would love too, but I'm working. Have fun, but I heard that Mt. Hamilton is really bumpy. Is that true?

Evo_dadi: That drive is a fun cruise, I would start at quimby though and end in Milpitas, that drive takes maybe 30 minutes.

dood!
I have the PERFECT drive for you guys! I think it will take about 2 - 4 hours.
This drive goes through many different kinds of curves and bits of city I guess?
Anyways....

We should start the drive meeting at the Albertsons on Saratoga Ave. in Saratoga or maybe in Los Gatos some where.
Drive southbound HWY 9, then 236 back to HWY 9.
We then drive through Boulder Creek, Ben Lomond then up to Zayante Rd. which will take us to Summit Road over HWY 17, drive on summit till we hit Old San Jose Road which drops us in to Soquel/Santa Cruz.
from there we can go anywhere, up to Branciforte to granite creek to HWY 17.

Who knows where I can make a map of this drive? If you don't know these roads, you will get dizzy just looking at the curves on a map. ;D
