Mines @ Morning - test run Sat. 8/18/07
Would like to invite you to MINES RD. This is a dirty bumpy road that i hear isn't so good for slammed rides. It's tight and technical, and for half of our run one lane. We won't be driving as all out as we were on Skaggs seeing as it's a more dangerous, but spirited driving yes.
Our route will take us from Livermore to Milpitas. Starting in Livermore going down Mines Rd then around Mt. Hamilton (where we'll take it easy) then down to smellpitas.
Meet Point - Starbackles in Dublin (same as yosemite) at 11:00am Saturday 8/18/07

the road isnt TOO bad. i think it was 2 lanes the whole time tho, correct me if im wrong. also, the road isnt too bad of condition but there are some rough spots and cattle guards.
count me in as a maybe for now, plus 1 other car.

we did a bunch of audi drives on this route.... for those who are first timers, be careful we had couple cars ended up down the cliff during the drive here. and yes there are sections that are single lanes, so you have to watch for on coming traffic.
