I'll be driving my Riviera Blue Spyder so be on the look out and say hi. @Merlotsj Are you interested in joining?

I looked on the map of where I'm staying it's between the 280 and 101.
If you’re planning on traveling North of SF there’s this place that has decent clam chowder in Bodega bay. You definitely should try doing that drive on hwy 1 north since you’ll be here, one of the best scenery around here.

Bodega Bay is wayyyy up there from Redwood City, and you have to go through the ****ty of San Francisco to get there, which can be a bit of a traffic nightmare, even on the West side. Also, if you head West on 1 at Tam, be aware of moto's as the group rides out that way can be an issue. Particularly early Sunday morning. Unless something has changed, I'd avoid that stretch of road before 9am on Sunday.

Been litigated before. Most of the spaces along the street are actually in a county easement and the store has no ability to stop people from parking there. They used to have the spots marked that are on their property. Haven't been up there in a while, but I would bet any closing off was temporary, as when they've tried to do that in past, they've faced huge pushback and always had to back down.

yeah it can get pretty busy with parking along 35 there ... I guess you could park in the store lot - buy a bottle of water or similar and then go grab brunch - hard to claim that as a customer of the store you are not permitted to park there!

Bodega Bay is a little further than we're planning on going.

So far my initial plan for Saturday is to check out Alice's and then do the drive on the 84 down to the 1. I'm thinking from there to head north on the 1 and swing by Napa Valley. My wife and I have never been there so if anybody has any recommendations for a winery, please let me know. After finishing the winery, I'm then planning on heading to the Cypress Tree Tunnel for some pictures. Depending on timing and how full we are, I might stop at Nick's Cove for an afternoon snack while on the way. Afterwards, we'll head to Point Reyes North and South beach for some more pictures. From there, we'll head back and I'm thinking of making a reservation at Alexanders in SF to finish off the day.

That is a lot of ground to cover in a day, particularly with traffic, which will be heavy on much of that itinerary. My advice is, if you're going to Napa, plan on getting through the city on 19th early.
