Drove through the foothills around Mt. Diablo and then scenic downtown Danville. A glorious 70-degree February day here in Northern California!

Tom, this is approximately this stretch of Glendora Ridge Road, and some Glendora Mountain Road..

If you want to see that whole road on one of the most beautiful runs I have seen, check the video I put in the great drives section, filmed by my friend on a 'road condition check' run.. Not fast, just gorgeous into epic sunset..

I hate to be a critic but less music more Roadster. I remember hitting ice on Glendora Ridge Road on my motorcycle in '67. Other than that what a great road.

Re: Where did you DRIVE this weekend? (Roadsters only!)
A SUNDAY DROPS drive.
Our Summer Winter weather shook out a few roadsters for a drive today.
Out to explore some "new" roads in the Cascade foothills.
5 roadsters and a Z. 150 miles. NO mechanical problems.
Pebbles did not make it as his drive to visit yesterday so exhausted him, he is in bed for the week!!

Re: Where did you DRIVE this weekend? (Roadsters only!)
Weekend Monday Drive.
Another Summer day in Winter in the PNW. Drove to Snoqualmie pass. About 90 miles RT.
Test run for the newly improved 68SR. New Big brakes, RX7 LSD, wheels and 195-50-15 tires.
15x7 early Panasports with a nice deep lip on the rear.

Re: Where did you DRIVE this weekend? (Roadsters only!)
On Sunday I DROVE with my brother to test a suction cup GoPro mount.
Picking up the roadster's sound has always been a challenge so we tried a few locations and I fixed a vibration issue with some diy stuff. What do you think?

Here's a slo-mo of how I almost wadded it up. Time for some new tires!
