For those of you who don't know me, I'm a chiropractor in Redwood City and quite a motorcycle enthusiast and have been organizing the Doc Wong Motorcycle Riding Clinics for the past 11 years (see me web page at:* www.docwong.com).
This event however is a car only clinic.
Not too long ago I purchased a Porsche Boxster and a Miata and a whole new world of fun opened up for me.* Learning how to really drive the car has been a fun challenge, fortunately much of my motorcycling experience has helped me with that.* I'm having a great time in autox and open track days.
The tour/drive will be pretty mellow.* The idea is to enjoy the scenery, the drive and to improve our driving skills.* So if you're up for a very fast drive, this isn't it.
RIDE ROUTE:
We start at Dr. Wong's office on Woodside Road (Hwy 84) in
Redwood City.* We go up Woodside Road, through
Woodside, and on up the hill to Skyline Blvd.
From there, we head down Hwy 84 (name now changed to La Honda Road).*
From San Gregorio, we go south on Stage Road to the
little town of Pescadero (which is a veritable
METROPOLIS compared to San Gregorio). Then we head east on Pescadero Road a short ways to Cloverdale Road, where we turn south
(right) again.* We follow Cloverdale road down to Gazos
Creek Road, where we turn west (right).
We follow Gazos Creek Road to Highway 1 where we can take a break.* Gas is available here.
Then take a trip down 1 to Davenport, where we stop for lunch.
After lunch, it's south on Highway 1 again to Bonny
Doone Road, where we turn east (left).* Don't turn
right there, or you'll be surprised at the lack of
floatation a set of air bags provide.* ;-)
Up Bonny Doon Road to Empire Grade. North (left) on Empire Grade to
Jamison Creek Road, down Jamison Creek Road to Highway
236.* Right on Highway 236 to Highway 9 in Boulder
Creek.* Another short break in Boulder Creek (gas, if
needed), then up Highway 9 (east) to Skyline, where we
assemble at the little rest area there for a final
meeting.* After our meeting and bull session, the group
breaks up and everyone is on their own.* Hope you can
find your way home from there!
