Feb10,Keiths run #4 Mines Road from Livermore to San Jose by way of Lick Observatory

Meet up in Livermore at the Robertson Park parking lot on S. Livermore Ave at 11AM. Take the Livermore Ave. exit off of 580 and go south through downtown Livermore and out towards the wineries. If you get to Concannon you just passed the parking lot. We will take Mines Rd south to San Jose stopping at the "Junction" and Lick Observatory and finally stopping at the Brittannia Arms for a post run pint.

Current Mines Road conditions as of Wed 530pm OPEN!!!

The road is OPEN!!!!! It will be in the 60's over the next few days and all should be dry. I'll go for a little ride to prerun it Saturday. If not I'll have an alternate route. Only one stop sign between Livermore and San Jose . Don't forget your radios, full tanks , cameras. Maps to the Britannia Arms will be provided.

The milage was around 80 something total. A little over 60 from Livermore to San Jose. Thanks to all that participated. You couldn't ask for better weather and a better bunch . We will send off a donation to The American Cancer Society this week in Kieths name thanks to your generosity .

I saw a few of you on Quimby. I was having lunch at the Carls Jr about 2 in the afternoon. My Mini was probably not visible from the road as you approached the stop light there. Nice looking group of Minis!
