Ya I ask for time off to do the drive with you guys. At the last meet up we kinda talked about what we might want to go. I still need to be filled in on what the plan is. All I know is we are hit up the casino along the way for their bad a$$ buffet lunch.

Be careful with Skaggs guys. It's an awesome road without traffic, but CHP is well aware of this and the 'fun section' is patrolled heavily. My friend (who some of you have met) got nailed for speeding there in his GTO. That being said, we should organize a safe, monitored cruise there!
I'm thinking Special Friend could cruise down the road and note if he sees bicycles, bikers, and/or CHP in maybe half mile increments and then when he gives us the green we can RESPONSIBLY be irresponsible lol.

O yea, sorry my bad peeps i messed up. Its bolinas/Fairfax rd. Idk y i was thinking of skaggs but meant to say Fairfax rd. Sh !t dont mean to screw up nd confuse people
Chris nd myself took a drive towards that bolinas/Fairfax rd. Its a sketchy small a$$ rd. Its a nice drive no doubt, but rd i only big enough for one car and turns are 180°. The drive itself willbe a short one, but there are tons of places to take pics at. When we do this cruise, will need to be careful how fast we drive case if a car comes on a blind corner, the lead, most likely will be hit as if try avoiding the car, ull either hit a redwood tree, or go down the hill. Jst some small quick info on this rd. Def a sweet rd.
This is the route my friend and I are taking on our next drive.
It's about 150 miles.

We ALL need walkies to do it safely. If you don't have any and bum one constantly off others you need to make sure someone will have one for you that day. Don't just think "oh so and so has 2, so he'll give me one". The moment more than one person thinks that then someone doesn't have a walkie.
My suggestion is we run a scout and a lead car. The scout scouts the road ahead of the group (not just in the front, way ahead). The Scout should be traveling at a safe speed for the road, and call out any potential road hazards or things ahead. The lead car in the group then does the same, but is traveling as the lead car of the group and serves as a final warning of hazards/etc. If you do it any other way you're asking for trouble, especially on a lot of these narrow roads.
Good route.
