Sorry about that, I spent the whole day in court (suing my neighbor) and forgot to log off before heading out.
A couple of options, I did a really great SCCA National TSD tour over here out of Livermore last spring, which could be re-thrown or just driven- as the route makes for a really great drive in itself, or we can always go out to check new and different roads.
But hey I've made up the route for the last several adventures, any of you other guys want to pick some roads?:banana:

I'm always ready to put a drive together. But the next one i thought i'd do would be wine tour part 2. with more driving and just two wine stops.
the Livermore drive would be great with me.
but if you wont me to....... you know maybe i'll go over my maps and post a loop. and then see what everyone thinks of it.
Why doesn't everyone interested post a loop and we'll vote on the winner

OK just for the sake of knowing what we'd be up to, my route runs about 6 hours total with a couple of breaks, it's about 200 miles driving distance and includes the following roads, not neccesarily in this order:
Mines Rd :banana:
Del Puerto Cyn :banana:
Morgan Territory :banana: :banana:
Patterson Pass :banana:
Corral Hollow/Tesla Rd :banana:
Altamont Pass :banana:
and like I said we can either make a little TSD competition out of it or just do it as a group drive, whatever you guys want to do.
also- I am really looking forward to bushido's next wine tour too!
BTW, bushido, I'm done watching your WRC tapes, sadly about a half hour into it- Sweden got recorded over with the Simpsons- now normally I don't mind watching any episode of the Simpsons, but Sweden!
AAAARrrrrrgggggghhhhh!!!!!!!

can someone tell me what the banana limit is?
I wanted to give some of those roads multiple banana ratings, but it told me I had too many!
who ever heard of such a thing?
how can you have too many bananas.........?

I'm fine with an East bay jaunt. TSD would be fun but I know it's a lot of work and you seem a bit pressed for time.
Just for discussion here's the north bay route I proposed as the inland alternative for the sonoma county drive. Not sure how long it is. With some minor adjustment we could start and end in Sonoma instead of SantaRosa.
SantaRosa to
Bennet Valley rd to GlenEllen
12 N to Trinity Rd
Over the Hill to Dry Creek rd To Napa
Redwood Rd to Trancas to 121
121 to 128 to Berryessa Knoxville rd to LowerLake
29 to Seigler Canyon Rd
Left on Big Caynon Rd to MiddleTown
29 to Western Mine Rd/IDA Clayton Rd to Kellog
Franz Valley Rd to Porter Creek rd to Mark West Springs Rd to 101 Santa Rosa
Western Mine Rd/IDA Clayton Rd might be gravel. If so the alternative is 29 to Tubbs Ln to Petrified Forest Rd to Porter Creek Rd
A shorter alternative to the Knoxville Berryessa Rd is to break from the lake at Pope Canyon Rd to to Pop Valley Cross Rd to Pope Valley. If there has been a big storm this might be required since the K-B Rd floods in the winter.
Then Butts Canyon Rd to MiddleTown
I've done most of these but some are new to me.
