Anyone riding the Friday evening at Mazda Raceway this week? I will be the guy riding the 1986 Raliegh Marathon 6 speed, huffing and puffing trying to get up to the cork screw, LOL

My slowest, but one of the most fun lap at Laguna Seca was on my Serotta Legend. Love those evening events. Have fun.

Not for just the ride. But combine it with a race weekend, or a Skip Barber driving/racing school, then yes. Also, some nice riding in Monterey/Carmel Valley area as well as the Salinas Valley. Good MTB trails in Fort Ord.

The Continental Sports Car Festival is this weekend. Some good racing, great looking models. Went last year, but working this year.

Going up the corkscrew is a real b*tch under race conditions. You just don't realize how steep it is until you try and pedal up it.
Going down is much more fun. I hit 50mph regularly last time I raced my bike there...I've gone slightly faster when in the car and motorcycle.
