Default Night drive in the south bay

Anyone interested in a night drive (starting around 9/10/11 PM?) in the hills between San Jose and Santa Cruz on Sunday (8/26)? I'm thinking about driving maybe on highway 35 or a little north.

I've never been mountain driving so it will most likely be a semi-leisurely drive since the limited vision. Josh seems to have some interest in this as well as my friend who owns a supra TT (too bad he won't have that fresh night air on his face hee hee hee)

I will come... Actually, you probably would have run into me anyways. Every sunday at around 11:00 I drive down 85 to hiway 9. Up HW-9 to 35 and 35 to La Honda. La Honda to 280- 280 to 85...

Its a great drive, but maybe we should go further south instead of north this time .

I don't mind either way. I'm not very familiar with the roads down there, so maybe we can all think about the best route in those hills. I would assume it's going to be around a 2 hour drive

Where did you guys wanna meet? the new in-n-out in Mountain View near el camino/237 intersection at 9 PM?

icic.... But visibility might prevent you from though....

I remember we used to have group drive Sunday morning starting at 10am. How was the traffic? The only group drive I went at Saturday had virtually no traffic in the mountain. (I think we were lucky though...)
