Tan,

Duane can confirm, as it looks like there are two different times on the schedule. I'm pretty sure that lunch kicks off at 1:00 pm.

The reservation that I made for Chuck, Dave, Scott/Danette, me/Kathleen is for 1:15 pm.

Next time. What's the update on your SPF?

[4pipes]

Chuck, I don't think you can drive that route in one hour. Won't it take an hour just to get to 17?

Dave - I though the same thing. I mapped it out on Google and it shows the route as ~36 miles/46 minutes.

Doug, is the 36 miles to 17 or Gayles? I'm too lazy to check.

[tc_sj]

Chuck, I shall be there at 8:00 am, leaving San Jose at 7:15 am

Thanks for waiting

Regards
Tan

Hmmm, Google must be aware of our individual driving habits. Apparently it knows that I'm more gentle behind the wheel than Doug, and so says it's going to take me 53 minutes to drive that route.

It would probably tell Scott 30 minutes, tops.

[tc_sj]

I think Hwy 17 give you shorter distance, but more traffic

I think Chuck's route seem like fun to drive and less traffic

I am fine either route

Tan

Dave - I didn't save the search, but I'm pretty sure it was 36 miles to Gayles, since my overall time was close to Chuck's.

Chuck - Haven't been that route in years, but I think the road narrows down to one lane where Skyline ends and you turn off on Bear Creek.

[4pipes]

I was going to mention that next before I commit. The road gets so narrow that if you meet another vehicle, someone needs to back up! There is no room to pull off the road.

The route contained in my previous post shows the mileage. I double checked Google and Yahoo maps and they both show appx. 38 miles, and less than 1 hour, from the 76 station to Gayles.

Doug, I've never driven this route, so I'm sure your memory is correct. It looks like a fun drive, but I'm not twisting anyone else's arm to join.

See you at Gayles at 9:00.

[4pipes]

I'm going to go over 17 to Gayles from Los Gatos. If anyone wants to meet up in LG let me know.

[Got the Bug]

The other choice is Black Rd (which we took when we went to dinner Alice's), but that might take a little more time.

[tc_sj]

I think 17 seem like the best choice for distance, I am OK either route

Driving directions to 504 Bay Ave, Capitola, CA 95010
27.6 mi – about 35 mins

14395 Big Basin Way
Saratoga, CA 95070

[scootter]

Hm, I did did the route on yahoo. It reads 41.51 miles at 1 hour and 6 minutes from Saratoga to Bay street via hwy 9 to Black rd to 17 at an average of 39.33 miles per hour.

I think Danette and I will travel there via 17 since she will want to sleep in a bit. So we can meet in downtown LG at 7 or 7:15. There is a little park by the post office with a coffee shop close by.

Scott

[4pipes]

Scott, it's only 45 minutes maximum from the PO in Los Gatos to Gayles. Let's leave the PO at 8:00am. Then I can get a turnover at Gayle's

[scootter]

Dave, I must of had a brain fart. 8 it is!!
Scott

[tc_sj]

Are we finally decide to meet at 76 station in Saratoga at 8:00 am?

Thanks
Tan
