He has a very valid point. I have been on day cruises and seen rollovers. We never intend to push the limits or do anything dangerous but in reality that midset changes in a split second for us all at one time or another. I will plan to attend this cruise as well as the wife in her s2000 but I think staying off the twisties in the dark is a good idea with a large number of cars.

I have always enjoyed driving HWY 50 to Ice House, Wentworth springs and arriving in Georgetown. Then from there take 193 to Cool, take 49 to Auburn and cruise on home I-80. The roads are smooth for the most part, remote with very little traffic, has long smooth roads as well as long sweeping turns and a few fun chicanes thrown in. Just a thought.

 

Because some people get amped up while driving with a group, especially in "sports cars"

Again as stated earlier, deer are more prone to come out at night and you would have to not only worry about other cars/bikes ext, but deer as well.

Also doing any type of "spirited" driving can bring issues with people that may have never driven the road (whichever one is chosen) before.

As easy as it is to say that everyone will be calm and cool the entire drive is much easier said over a keyboard than actually doing it. I know it can be done, and would like a local group to be able to pull it off without incident.

 

Thank you to everyone chiming in ideas and warnings, it's great! I agree that we should start in the afternoon and onto night time. Yes we should avoid winding narrow roads. Can someone suggest a nice open road where we can cruise at? Highway 50 is a nice idea.

Anyone got anymore ideas with locations we can cruise on with open roads and nothing too extreme? Feel free to chime in!

I will do my best to handle dates and meet up locations that can fit into everybody's schedule.

 

I like the HWY50 cruise to Icehouse so +1 with Cha

 

I didn't know you lived in the North Bay

 

I love driving my car too. Nothing makes me happier! Deer suck.
Is there a date?

 

+2. Love icehouse road.

 

For now i'm just trying to get some suggestions on where to cruise. Once we have settled the first location where to cruise I will start organizing the dates and time + where to meet before the cruise.

Hwy 50 is pretty popular right now! Hopefully we can get this going before this month ends or a little after. Only 1-2 more weeks until me and other college students are done!

 

My .02 cents, Tahoe drive, lunch somewhere. Drive back. Or something like that.

 

I've never driven Icehouse before but it looks like fun. So for those suggesting it, would the route be Icehouse to Wentworth Springs? It looks like there are a few options from there, either Mosquito Rd or Georgetown Rd back to 50. Or a longer option of Georgetown Rd/193 west to 49 and then north to Auburn.

You could make it REALLY longer and turn south when you get to 49 and go all the way back to 50 in Placerville. (That actually sounds like a full day trip)

 

hahaha

 

Yeah I like that, something simple.

 

I would like drive to Tahoe. I'm in placerville area and could meet off of 50 or meet in sac or whatever.. There's a lot of subie's in Tahoe too bad we couldn't meet up with a local Tahoe group for a tour of there back roads. Lol
I'm putting a clutch back in my car and I'm ready anytime!!

 

I'm in for this!

There is a very fun drive I know called salmon falls road. I take It from Folsom to Georgetown. Very very dangerous road though... Cliff on one side rock wall on the other. Probably not a good spot for night driving.
