Anyone have a road preference? Here's another one that looks mighty interesting:

lol, I didn't even look on the pashnit link.
I've driven on Ceader Ravine road twice this week. Its an okay road, lots of blind corners, and it is one of the main throughfares for the outlying areas to come into Placerville. From time to time, there can be quite a bit of traffic on that road, which makes the blind corners worse then they are. Also, a lot of the blind corners end up sharper then they start. Its probably only a 10-15 minute drive at normal speeds.
Oh, and lots of old folks, so a good shot at getting stuck behind someone going 20mph.
Although, I must admit, I find myself making mental pacenotes whenever I drive around that area (which doesn't make much sense in an automatic).
I could probably pull together a decent drive up in that area (esp. with Aarons help), if you all were interested.

I can't do any super long drives. I'll have to build up my Sunday staying awake tolerances for the next two weeks. If I think I'll be too tired I can't go, and I'll probably want to be home by noon at the WAAAAY latest. But, I'm a big boy, so if you guys want to do a longer drive, by all means do it and I'll just cut out when I need to or whatever and it won't bother me a bit 
If we go, you guys wanna meet up at the 76 there at Auburn/Folsom and..uhh..greenback(?) like normal? We should meet at 7 or so to make sure we beat traffic.

0700?! Don't expect to see me, waking up at 5am to get down there, most likely after getting off work at around midnight, is bad Ju-Ju. Oh well, gas is getting too expensive anyways...

The berryessa drive sounds cool; I grew up on the Wentworth/Icehouse loop, so I'd like to go somewhere else, but I haven't been up there in a while either

Gotta watch those onramps, too
*ducks*
Btw, I'll get that tire rebalanced for ya one of these days, I swear.
