That'd be nice since I'd be coming up from South Bay (San Jose) also.

Southbay and Eastbay meetups

OK southbay, now you guys have to agree on a spot. I'm eastbay so you guys know the best spots. A coffee place is always good . EASTBAY folks can meet me at East Bay Mini at 845am and the Dennys in Emeryville (Powell St off of 80) at 915am.

Meet @ 0800? Starbucks, Fremont just off 880 on Morwy @ the Lucky's Center, that will be close to 880 or 84 to 101. Now who knows the way to Crissy Field from there? I'm not the guy.

For South Bay, I'd recommend either Mercado Starbucks (next to theatre; Santa Clara) or Mtn. View Mini.

I like either one of these. I suggest taking 280 up to the city, it's a much more pleasant drive. I would be coming from Santa Cruz.

Chrissy Field is at the west end of the marina area on Marina. After you pass the harbor it jogs to the left. Don't follow the jog STAY RIGHT (straight ahead) on Mason and make a right into the East Beach parking lot. Park at the west end near the restrooms.

Yep, I wholeheartedly agree

I say we meet at Mercado Starbucks, for those who need a morning "pick-me-up", plus the parking lot is more open.

8:15 am @ Mercado Starbucks , LEAVING @ 8:30 am

The ride to Chrissy Field (603 Mason?) takes about an hour according to Google Maps, so we should be arriving promptly @ 9:30 am.

I don't know the area too well (Chrissy Field), so if anyone wants to volunteer to lead, please feel free. Otherwise I'll prolly have a Google Maps printout + Nav.

I'd be up for meeting at the Mercado Starbucks at 8:15am. Good place for my wife to load up on coffee. 280 is a good drive up to the City.

Mercado Starbucks would be a bit south for you...it's located in Santa Clara right off 101 and Great America Parkway. Since you're in Hayward, you may wanna go w/ the EastBay group since they're closer, but you're more than welcome to go w/ us!

Thanks Norcal Minis (Larry, Rick, et al) for putting together a great run! We had a great time motoring through the windy roads and meeting lots of wonderful folks. It was really nice to match up several of the board members here to actual faces. Looking forward to the next run!

PS> Special shout outs to Dr. Pepper and Druidic Mojo w/ whom I cruised up to the City with - especially Pepper for being our "lead" car. Mojo, we didn't get a chance to say good-bye to you and the Mrs.! btw, I think you live just down the street from us!

Cheers everyone!

Ya, wife and I are in San Jose off of 101. Nice to meet some new faces and to say hi to those we hadn't seen in a while.
