I stumbled across this last week; I don’t know how that is going to affect the Highway 1 section of the fun run.
State Route 1-Cabrillo Highway
During one-way traffic controls, one lane of traffic on State Route 1-Cabrillo Highway will remain open while the other lane of traffic will be closed between just south of Whitehouse Canyon Road and the San Mateo/Santa Cruz County Line.
If they leave one lane open during the weekend, and the surf is breaking or sun is forecast it could mean some idling…

Hey Guys see below the original post. In 9 days we are meeting up at 9:14am for a breakfast meet/drive at Alices Cafe. Hope many of you can make it.

Cheers,
Luke

Hey All,

The last turnout was so great and met a lot of nice 914 people. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) This time around I thought it would be fun to take some winding roads. We will be meeting at Alice's Cafe in Woodside, CA. The food is pretty dang good here no mishaps this time around since they are always dealing with car clubs and biker people showing up. If you want a good spot id show up a tad earlier because this place is popular for car club meets. Lets make this meet even BIGGER than last time! It doesn't matter the state of you 914 just bring it if its in driving condition projects are always fun to see too.

I think a fun drive after would be nice!

SOOO, I created a drive map starting from Alices Cafe go down Hwy 84(La Honda Rd) out to the coast then turn left to enjoy a drive down Hwy 1 coastline(will be gorgeous) to Santa Cruz and then back down hwy 17 as a group. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
The drive is about 1h and 20 mins. If its a nice day out it could be a real nice drive without the targa top.


Note:I will be notifying Alices Cafe before hand that we will be showing up to ensure they are ready to accommodate a larger group.

Date: Saturday May 25th 2013
Time: 9:14am
Address: 17288 Skyline Blvd
Woodside, CA 94062[

Pictures are panoramas of the last meet.
Please repost elsewhere so that we get a good turn out and tell your friends and family that are Porsche people.

Cheers,
Luke Anker

When you do not have such a great area and roads to drive in such as the proposed route, you truly miss being able to participate. Alice's is one of my special places along with hiway #1 (have done the complete road) and the surrounding side roads via Pescadero, Half Moon Bay, Santa Cruz, and Monterey. We have been gone from the Bay Area for 8 years and still miss it (not the traffic, though).

We have gone on similar rides with 914, Alfa, Lotus, and Corvette clubs. The best was with the 914 group. Attend and you will have a great time.

Got the 72 out of my garage May 1st after 10 months of working on it.
I really didn't want to get it out on the road too soon and end up driving in the rain! May still be too soon since I've still some tweaks to make.
So long as nothing fails on the car I'll be there of this get together.
I'm looking forward to it!

Yeah a couple people have brought that up. Luckily we are all having breakfast and hanging out before the run so, we can all work as a collective and come up with a modified route (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I just spoke with my colleague who lives near Ano Nuevo. He said that the road work is between 84 and Pescadero Rd, so that if we turn left on Pescadero Road off of 84 we will avoid the construction zone and be fine. I also recommend that we take Hwy 9 back from Santa Cruz. There is some traffice through the towns, but once you get past the last one, most traffic has exited and there is a very nice windy climb back up to Skyline. People can either descend down Hwy 9 to head home or can go North on Skyline till they get to where they want to drop down (Page Mill, 84, Kings Mtn, 92). Just note that Skyline was repaved with a slurry seal and the road surface is pretty coarse now

That sounds good to me hwy 9 is more fun that 17 anyway. And thats great news if we take 84 to pescadero rd. Hwy 1 would be a joy.

I’d avoid Highway 9. Too many motorcycles racing up there, and they don’t blink at being on the wrong side of the rode around blind corners.

Speaking of motorcycles - I'm already committed to a motorcycle ride Saturday morning, so if you see a guy on a BMW F800GS flashing his high beams and waving like a maniac at you guys - that's me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Have a great time - I'll catch the next one.

Hi, all,
I'm about 70% sure I can make it - black 914-6 (conversion), GT rear wing/ spoiler, chrome-black Fuchs wheels.

Re. the route: Heartily agree w/ suggestion on taking Pescadero Rd. It has more fun-per-mile compared to 84, and rarely occupied w/ other cars. And IMHO the best of that stretch of 84 is the bit between Alice's & the Pesc. Rd turnoff - so it's win/win.

-- One more suggestion on route: IF people have the time & inclination, a really enjoyable alternative to 17, is to take Soquel-SJ Rd, from (guess) Soquel, north to Summit Rd. This parallels 17 and has an excellent surface (I just rode it on my MC two weekends ago).
-- And from Summit Rd you can either hop on 17 for the rest of the drive down the hill, OR turn off onto Old S.Cruz Hwy for a few more miles of fun. This puts you out on 17 by Lexington Reservoir and is as much fun as Hwy 9. And another detour opportunity presents, to circle around the 'back'/east side of Lex'tn Resvr. Also a fine, fun road. Something to consider maybe!

Here's a googlemaps tracing of the original route + Pescadero Rd - click & drag on the route to modify it, and see the resulting miles/time. Go play.
http://goo.gl/maps/PWlgL
And the "full Monty", with the detour(s) I suggested and maximizing the non- hwy17 miles --
http://goo.gl/maps/1tfWu

Anyway I hope to make it out there tomorrow!

I live in Santa Cruz and I would love to come, but I still have an exhaust leak and feel it would not be healthy for my fresh rebuild to drive like that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Any body in Santa Cruz that has an open passenger seat? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
