Milpitas/San Jose/Fremont Calaveras Meet and Run
#16
i'd say between intermediate/advanced? that's just based on my opinion i haven't really done many hills. but this is by far my most difficult one i've been through.
have you guys been on Calaveras before? it's about a 13 mile drive on the hill and there's a lot of turns left and right. the last meet we have we had some pretty speedy drivers. usually we split into two groups, the fast ones will go first and the slower ones are in the back. overall great drive and it's fun lighting up the hills :]
we usually end at Sierra Rd at the Shell Gas Station and park there to talk about our Calaveras drive.

Some parts of Sierra are pretty much a one lane road. I use to drive that road all the time when I was younger and in highschool, since I lived right by it.
Have fun on the drive!

From time to time I do the Calaveras up to HWY84 (scenic route) and that's pretty nice drive. The section near the reservoir is definitely dicey. I would not want to do it in a high powered RWD car lol.

i've done both. driving up calavaras road along the reservoir is definitely a challenge though. constant hairpins on a one lane road that's popular with cyclists.
There are some even narrower one lane sections on sierra road though. the only way to pass opposing traffic would be if either driver reversed to a wider section. i'd be curious to see how passing opposing traffic would be like on a caravan.

Also this is our third or fourth time doing this and it's been nothing but successful with no problems. We're all great car enthusiasts and very respectful towards each other and the public.
