TARGA TOP CALIFORNIA MOTOR TOUR APRIL 12 & 13, Two half-days of some of the best Central California back roads Options

[hydroliftin]

It's official. As announced at the 914 Breakfast, there will be a driving event starting in the Bay Area and swinging down to Central California overnight before returing the next day. Send me a private message with your real name, screen name, e-mail and a cell phone number so that I can keep track of who is planning to attend.

Friday, April 12 we meet at Canepa Design in Scotts Valley at about 11:00;
4900 Scotts Valley Dr Scotts Valley, CA 95066
I have aranged with Dave Bouzaglou and Canepa to meet up with the folks who are driving on the California Targa Click here for California Targa.

The California Targa participants are staying on for a catered lunch, but I expect we will hit the road by 12:00 so that we have enough time for the afternoon drive. Roads include Carmel Valley Rd. to Greenfield, then over the Eastern side of 101 with roads such as Peach Tree Rd, Indian Valley Rd, & Hare Canyon. We spend the night at Motel 6 in King City:
3 Broadway Cir King City, CA 93930 Telephone: (831) 385-5000
You can book a room for about $50. No special event rate just get the best rate you can. This motel is pretty nice for a Motel 6.

Saturday, April 13 we head back to the Bay Area via Fort Hunter Liggett, Nacimiento-Fergusson Road, then North on Highway 1 til you get back home. I expect to get going early so that we still have time for weekend chores on Saturday. By leaving early you can avoid the motor homes and torist traffic as well. To gain access to Fort Hunter Liggett you mst have valid driver's license, vehicle registration and proof of insurance. Vehicles are subject to random search too, so be cool.

Hey Wes,

You must enjoy a challege. If you can aford the fuel for that thing you are welcome to join in the fun. I expect those of us in 914's may be a tad quicker in the twisty bits, but I don't think there are any roads that I plan on that are impossible in a motorhome. You may want to skip the last bit and sail down the 101, or you might not get to King City until about 5 past late.
