Huntington Beach April 25th SF bay area trip

[freddiehebert]

Meeting place for sf bay area & santa clara group

So the past 3 years we have met at The Flames Restaurant 7170 Santa Teresa Blvd, San Jose, CA .
Senerio #1
I have been talking with SJdave and we are thinking of leaving Thursday late afternoon. Last year we left and stayed over night in San Luis Obispo. Dave is thinking to drive as far as Carpinteria and stay the night. This is a 280mile trek from S. San Jose. and 4 1/2 hrs by google maps plus will need 1 gas stop along the way. Spend the night there then leave hwy 101 south and take Topanga Canyon to hwy 1 south to the 405

With this plan I'm suggesting leaving S. San Jose 4pm or as close to it as possible.

Senerio #2
Leave S. San Jose 4-5 drive to Santa maria spend the night. Leave take Hwy 166 east to hwy 33 south drops us out north of Ventura then south 101 to 405.

Please chime in if you are planning on going and if you can leave with us or if you are gonna go down on friday. It is great to have a gang of cars. But then again 4-6 cars can go a lot quiker then a gang.

This is just a suggestion if anyone has any more ideas. Please chime in

freddie,

Didn't see your thread until now. We are having a BBQ on Friday and a drive up to the top of Ortega Hwy to have Lunch on Sunday. I know it put's you into a Monday arrival assuming normal cruising travel-days or a long drive home Sunday but any part of the weekend you can add you will be more than welcome!

Day1 Route: Leaving Santa Clara vis Hwy17th south to Hwy 85 south to Hwy 101. Driving straight thru to Santa Maria. With 1 gas stop along the way. This will be roughly 3 1/2-4 hour drive, roughly 220 miles. We will be staying at the Quality Inn & Suites, 210 Nicholson Avenue, Santa Maria, CA 93454. (805) 922-5891.

Day2 Route: Leaving Quality Inn & Suites Hwy 101 north to Hwy 166 east to hwy 33 South About 65 miles lil over an hour. There is a gas station we will stop at in the town of New Cuyama. This is about 8-10 miles before the turn south on Hwy 33.
Hwy 33 thru the mountains and should be some good twissties and a great drive I hope. alll the way over to Ojai for another stop for fuel and stretching of the legs. About 60 miles 1 hr 20min.
