C'mon guys, i know we can get 30+ Subaru's for this meet, already have 23 so far, not including my friends who arent on I-club yet

Tell all your friends

 

I'd invite my friends but non are suby guy's plus they wouldnt be up for this long of a drive (gas ****'s).

 

One of my friends as a 325Xi BMW and I keep telling him to join us just so I can laugh at him He keeps saying his Xi system is the bomb ha ha ha he is a funny fella, but I think he might just be riding shotgun.......

Looks like the gang is getting big hope everybody turns up on the day..

We should organise the time and the full trip this weekend and have the whole route planned out before hand so everybody knows the route, the stop points just in case people get lost - More importantly in case I get lost

 

Well, like I said earlier - I'm all for a little meet this weekend. Talk things over a cup of coffe, maybe get things situated in terms of route planning, lineup (lead/sweep), radios, etc...

Sound good? Would also be awesome if any newcomers would so we could get to know everyone...

 

sounds like a lot of fun, it reminds me of the old drives we used to have with 25+ people joining up.

i wish i could make it, but snowboarding >>>> driving a car off the track :P

maybe in the more spring months i can hop on board.

 

Yep, the route should be decided by this weekend, just so no one gets confused, and were meeting up at Starbucks in Santa Rosa at 10:30......??????

 

Guys, lets just do the Wine Country drive. It's a great route with good roads. After all it was the original route picked.

I don't care if there's traffic etc.. If i show i'll be just chilling out and not driving my normal speeds.

i think it says sometime around 11 at the santa rosa ave. starbucks

 

Meet time = 10:30am
Leaving = 11:00am sharp!
@ Santa Rosa Avenue Starbucks (By Costco, Best Buy, Target, etc.).

This will give time for us to check out the cars, have people gas up if they need to, check there tires, and all that other good stuff.


Yeah, I'm thinking the East route might be a fine choice for this drive.


"Possible Route 2 = Hwy 12 East, towards Bennet Valley Road. Take Bennet Valley Road till it cuts into Warm Springs Road. Head north on Hwy 12 from Warm Springs, towards Trinity Road. This continues on to Dry Creek Road, then take a left onto Oakville Grade Road. This lets out onto St Helena Hwy (128/29). Take Silverado Trail (parallels 128, but a LOT less boring) towards Calistoga. Then, just take Hwy 128 towards Lytton Springs, then Alexander Valley Road south into Healdsburg."

Rich, does this sond plausible? Do we want to extend it a bit and take a trip up to Chiles Pope Valley road from 128, then back down Howell Mountain Road? Or, for an even longer (though, not too long) we could take Chiles Pope Valle Road, and then Butts Canyon Road towards Middletown. Then, the Western Mine Road/ Ida Clayton Road. (Anyone know the condition of this road?)

Also, in taking the second extended route over Howell Mountain, we could also jaunt up Snell Valley Road to the Berryessa Estates for a photo op.

 

Hey David you on for meeting up this weekend. let me know and anybody else that wants to meet up. Nothing big just meet up for food , drink and talk etc...

 

Yeah, I'm available Saturday after 1:30, and all day sunday. Might check out the condition of the Western Mine Road on the way down too...

 

Cool how about Sunday? I should be free all day too, could meet say in Healdsburg if you want to meet half way?

 

Yeah! How bout at the Healdsburg Starbucks? It's at 1075 Vine Street, right smack in the middle of the Safeway shopping center.

Say, meet there at like 2:00pm? This Sunday, January 21st...


** EVERYONE ELSE IS INVITED!!! ** Come to the pre-meet!

 

gotta fix the lady's car this weekend..... boo.....

 

You guys would not want to take that road. It's the skinniest road in Sonoma Co and it's dirt for 2 miles. One of my all time favorites. We'll be driving it this weekend on my drive as the return road from Clearlake.

The route sounds fine.
If you wanted to extend the days drive i would recommend taking Spring Mountain/ St Helena rd (outof St Helena)
Turn right onto Calistoga rd
left onto Creek rd
right onto Franz Valley rd
left onto 128
left onto Claulk Hill rd
drive into Windsor
north on 101 to Healdsberg
