A leisurely drive up Burlingame Avenue? On a Saturday around 11:00 AM?

Tom, I know you know that Burlingame Avenue is not exactly an expressway.

The cars will have been resting for more than an hour and should be able to handle the slow traffic on The Avenue. I get lots of looks when I take that cruise by myself so I can only imagine the attraction of several dozen cars taking a leisurely drive. Did you know that the Hillsborough Concours' Tour d' Elegance started their drive last Saturday on The Avenue? The street is only four blocks long and the gendarmeries will be working with us. If the group is not comfortable with this portion, there are many other options.

Rodney - I hope you will be available to join us.

All,
I received Tom's info on EOS and will have it up on BACCEVENTS by Monday (gotta get things packed tonight for "Cobra's to the Coast" this weekend).

Tom has done a great job again in planning EOS make sure not to miss it........ after all it does mark "the End Of Summer"

Me too.

BTW, with the signal lights and the usual traffic, the group may get split up, so maybe waiting somewhere West of El Camino for everyone to catch up might be in order?

All,
OK, as promised information and signup is now available on BACCEVENTS website for this coming EOS.

Yeah, that was a little bit of the case with the Texas group but thankfully, there were only THREE to worry about so it was a bit easier. But Snakes to the Lakes, I can't tell you how many times I got left behind (I took rear position for the pictures so it was bound to happen.)
