A few Photos Now with Video..of our Alice's Restaurant day out...

Many thanks to those of you that came out on a still slightly damp day.. Some fun was had and I think I introduced a couple of you to a new road that's hidden away and good for a "blast"....

If I'm not mistaken, we have some video coming soon courtesy of 997xpress.... Hopefully he will post it by tomorrow sometime..

Last time I was at Alice's Niel Young was there with a Calloway Speedster and a sexy young lady with a skin tight outfit that matched the car. What a sight!

The roads to Alice's are soooo nice to drive. Thanks for sharing

It is a cross road between Skyline (CA35) and CA84 (just goodle it); a get together and meeting place for motorcyclists because of the twisting and winding roads surrounding. A very pretty tree suurounding, very popular place on weekends and a must stop for many car clubs. IMO those roads are perfect for bikes but no so for sports cars with speeds; I like HWY1 much better in terms of driving.

I have been riding my Motorcycle up there for 20 years or so... Great roads for Motorcycles as you say, but there are a few roads that are really out of the way up in the hills where you can really let your Car "go" It's still a good place for cars as well.. lots of second and third gear "point and shoot" type of bends...

It was a fun day and we took HWY1 back up the coast from Pescadero where we ended up after the drive down the mountains from Alice's.. Weather was great, but there were a few damp patches left, so caution was excercised...

Sounds fun! I have taking the route to Pescadero a couple of times in the last 3 months. Nice drive.
