Do you know abt the cop situation around King's Mtn Rd and Skyline Saturday mornings? If there are really lots of cops there around that time, we might try another route.

Look's to me like nobody is heading to Laguna Seca for the ALMS event that weekend, eh? This ride sounds pretty good though. I would be interested in meeting up with Ina and Maury if everthing falls into place.
This weekend (Labor Day) I have to work Saturday but on Sunday some friends ('01 Boxster and '87 Carrera Targa) are joining us (with the S2K) to take in the World of Outlaws race up at Calistoga. As we all know, "racing is Life".

Ok, so if no one have any objection, then let's take this route:
1) Drive up Canada Rd
2) Turn right to Half Moon Bay Rd (aka 92)
3) Turn left to Skyline Blvd (aka 84)
4) Turn left to King's Mtn Rd
5) Turn left to Woodside Rd
6) Stay there until we hit 280
Now, we need a big parking lot somewhere in Foster City and a Lunch place in somewhere around Menlo Park. Any suggestions from local people?

Other than that, there isn't much to be found unless you drop down into the valley, far past 280. Menlo Park? That's a looong way from 84 & 280. Why not eat at Alice's or whatever they're currently calling the place across the street from there?

Both in the parking lot on the left side of 84/Woodside just before Canada Road. Buck's has lots of brunchy food that's not super great but it's the famous as the Silicon Valley power breakfast hotspot. The Bakery actually has some good food with atmosphere that balances between fancy and super-casual (somehow).

If you want a less traveled road, you can try Old La Honda. It is pretty narrow, but not a lot of cars. Road is mostly use by bicyclists.

It seems to me there are two people feel strongly about Alice's restaurant, so let's have lunch there then. Now what's missing is a big parking lot close to 92/280 for us to meet at 10am. Any suggestions?
