New to South Bay

Hey Everyone!

So I mentioned last year I'd be moving to San Jose for work. Well here I am now!

So trying to get a feel for the west coast, and thought it be best to ask ya'll

Where/When are the meets? Seems like a lot, but not sure which ones are still going?

Anyone do any rock climbing? Looking into getting membership with Planet Granite

Also, what about bikers? Mountain biking or road biking here ? And what are some good trails?

I also have a Shiba Inu, so anyone recommend a few good dog parks?

And lastly of course, what are some good bars/clubs to hit up in South Bay. I'm Asian, so I'm more into the Asian crowd if that helps.

Thanks guy!

I do MTB and in Cali we have a few of the best trails in the world :P (not an overstatement) lol

Try out DEMO it's in Santa Cruz area, Downieville, and Skeggs Point.

Downtown SJ is usually hot on Fri-Sat night; you get a good mix of people but a handful of Asians....

I've always wanted a Shiba Inu! post a pic!!!

Welcome to SJ. My wife and I rent two different places out near Japan town in SJ.

The Milpitas VJJ meet is the one you want to go to. 04GG (John) posted a link to that. There's usually anywhere from 10-30 cars more Wednesdays. Pretty chill.

Dirt isn't an issue. Go to the meet. Quite a few people there who auto-x.
