Default Hwy 9 today?

Any interest in running 9 today later in the afternoon? I'll be up there definitely, but I want to see if anyone else is interested for a joy ride/cruise.

That sounds like fun but I'm stuck at work. And I have a bday dinner to go to tonight.

But I hope you get out there! It's going to be a gorgeous day!!

I was up on 9 yesterday afternoon. There was a CHP waiting right near the top of 9/35, just below the summit facing downhill on the shoulder.

Also, there was a Saratoga/Cupertino Sherrif's SUV racing up 9 as I was headed down...I think it was to meet the *totalled* Camaro Z28 coming off the tow truck in the parking lot up top... It looked like the driver stuffed it into the side of the mountain...

One more: About 2/3 of the way up, look for fairly obvious skid marks that stretch from one side to the opposite lane (kind of diagonally). A motorcylcle laid his bike down and had trouble starting it up again...

Anyway, just be careful.

Eddie.

p.s. There's a ton of traffic on weekends
