Just to remind everyone about this coming Saturday:
Second Annual "Day Before The Britcars Meet"
Sports Car Tour and Picnic
What: A scenic road through some of the best forest,
mountain, and seaside roads on the San Francisco
Peninsula.
When: Saturday, September 11, departing 9:30 AM from the
parking lot of the Elks Lodge on El Camino Real, near
Arastradero Road. Breakfast available across the
street (Hobee's and Denny's within walking distance).
Who: Anyone with a British Car is invited. SOLs of course
are welcome even if the Britcar is under the weather
(ahem, ahem, as a certain green MGB might be if I don't
find a little time to work on it this week...)
Where: Planned stops include a visit to the San Gregorio
General store (a real Northern California icon),
Norm's Market in Pescadero for amazingly good fresh
baked goods (try their artichoke focaccia for a super
picnic bread), Bonny Doon Winery for a semiprivate
tour and tasting, a picnic at a site to be announced
(right now we're debating on the grass airstrip on
Empire Grade, or the picnic grounds at Hallcrest
Vineyards in Felton), and several optional plans
including the Hakone Gardens in Saratoga and
possibly an early dinner in Cupertino (location to
be announced).
How much: The tour is free, of course. You'll need enough gas,
oil and coolant (:-) to make a trip of about 110 miles;
the picnic lunch will be inexpensive, there is no cost
for the winery tour (but you might want to pick up a
bottle or two to take home), and if you choose to join
us for dinner, I'll try to pick somewhere that will
serve good food for under $10 a person.
