Default South Bay convoy to Rainbow Run

Hello everyone from the Southern part of the Bay!

This looks like a pretty good meeting spot (easy to get onto the freeway), and it is also far enough "north" that we can hopefully attract a few people.

Meet at:
Palo Alto Business Park
1121 San Antonio Road
Palo Alto, CA 94303
Arrive by: 8:15AM
Leave at: 8:30AM





I would suggest bringing as full of a tank as possible, so that we minimize congestion at the two gas stations in Petaluma. Don't forget radios set to channel 10-0. That's about it.

Going: (as of 4/5/13)
1. Theredone
2. andy82
3. MCM95403
4. ScottK
5. Chevyjags89
6. Kamiczo
7. ZRwon
8. Werks
9. BlakOuT
10. C5-1
11. deetee
12. FREDOC
13. bimmerborn
14. GK
15. jar3388
16. time4aCorvette
17. gp2race
18. CupertinoZ06
19. Vahshiee

Will you be taking 101 or 280 north? Rather than drive south to then turn around and drive north, I'd rather hang close at a freeway ramp and join you as you go up 101 or 280.

We were planning on doing the San Mateo Bridge and Richmond-San Rafael route. Keeping a group together through San Francisco's traffic lights could prove to be rather difficult. It would be much easier to be on the freeway the whole way up.

I agree,
Start in Palo Alto. Cross the San Mateo bridge and head up 880 over the Richmond San Rafael back on 101 and into Petaluma...

How many cars are we talking about? Last time we had 6 of us and took 280, 19th AVE and across the bridge, no problems at all.

I am all for going either way, across the GG or Rich/San Raph
Theredone made a good point about easier to stay together on the freeway rather than through lights on 19th ave. is all.

Would be fun to cruise together to Petaluma.

No reason we can't stop at the vista point across the GG bridge if we get separated on 19th ave.

I suppose we could go over the GG bridge if that's what people want.

I guess I was relying too heavily on my last experience driving on 101 through SF.

So, that's what we'll do. Nothing changes in terms of meeting times.

Chevyjags89 and I could hang out at the Whipple Ave on-ramp of 101. When you guys get close just call us on the radio and we'll join the formation.

If we go 101 to 380 to 280 we should be good and save a lot of time compared to the other route.

There's a Chevron station at Rowland Ave in Novato (east side of the freeway) that we could go to and avoid the Petaluma crowd.
