there is NO reason why anybody in the greater bay area couldn't make it for this one!
from the roadglue list: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RoadGlue.com Winter Meet - Saturday January 17th, 2004 Starts @ 10:00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Since Randy have been very busy, I asked him if I could put together this latest tour. I hope to see a good turnout on Saturday, I know it's short notice but those who want to attend the tour and lunch, please RSVP me with # attending at: a356b@aol.com The Roadglue.com NAPA/SOLANO Winter tour will start out at the parking lot of the VISTA POINT in Napa, CA (where you see the huge statue of a man using an old wine press) it's at the intersection of HWY 12 / 29, Hwy 121, HWY 221 in Napa. It's right there at the split of all 3 highways if you look on a map. >From there we will get on HWY 121 thru Napa and follow the signs for "Lake Berryessa/Silverado Trail" staying on HWY 121 toward Lake Berryessa. We will take HWY 121 over the mountain to HWY 128 (Keep Following the signs to Lake Berryessa) Take a right onto HWY 128 and follow it to Monticello Dam where we can get out and take some pictures, cool your brakes, ect. From there we head down the hill still on HWY 128 and take a right turn onto Pleasants Valley Road toward Vacaville. (right before you get to Lake Solano). A few miles down the road we will take a left onto Cantelow Road (over another nice hill) follow Cantelow Road to Stieger Hill Road (stay right at the fork in the road) and then take a right at the end of Stieger Hill onto Gibson Canyon Road (which drops us into Downtown Vacaville) From there you will take a Left onto Monte Vista, Right onto Depot Street, Left onto Elmira and right onto Peabody Road. Follow Peabody Road down to Alamo Drive where we will Meet for Lunch around 11:30 at Vicini's Pizzeria in Vacaville for some REAL New York City Pizza. Vicini's Pizzeria is Located at 1971 Alamo Drive in Vacaville, CA 95687. We already have reservations but I would like to get a good head count by the end of the week. This tour is basically 50 + miles of up and down hill twisties. (these roads were made for your 914) The scenery is awesome and the weather is supposed to be nice. Hope to see everyone saturday morning in Napa. P.O.C. for the Lunch and Tour will be Dominic Cilia e-mail: a356b@aol.com |

Ummm ... what? Group: Members Posts: 781 Joined: 17-January 03 From: San Jose, CA Member No.: 163 Region Association: Northern California |
Having driven portions of this route, it sounds like a great run. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Notice is a little late but it should be a good time. I'll be there barring some surprise.
Anybody from the San Jose area want to meet for the drive to Napa? Carl |

I'll be there for the start, but I probably won't be able to do the run.

I will be sandblasting parts for powder coating. It's a good enough excuse because I still have delusions I'll be able to drive my car to the West Coast Classic.

Yeah Paul! I'd love to see the lights!
Chris, your car won't be ready, but you should come anyway. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I'll be in a 93 civic since my engine is in pieces. I could drive the venison wagon with no windshield and no top...... nahh! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif) |

You guys have fun. Don't any of you drive into a bridge or anything.
We've got a few of the locals getting together for a breakfast tomorrow. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Toward the bottom of the map, above the napa county airport, you'll see a marking for SUSCOL, it's right there where highway 121 splits. Look for the huge Napa Valley monument/ vista point. There should be a parking lot at this vista point where we can all meet up. I should be there between 9:45 and 10:00 AM. I'll be driving my marathon blue 73' 2.0
See you in the morning! |

Next time your looking for interesting roads in Napa try Atlas Peak Road. Just off the Silverado Trail.
Great hillclimb (steep) that goes up into a valley above Napa that few realize exists. Up in the valley is Atlas Peak Vinyards (http://www.atlaspeak.com/home.asp). |
