any of the Norcal folks gonna participate? Particularly r3d or jjtgiants? It sounds like it would be a fun thing to do even though it's not cruising the coolest parts of the bay. Its in May and I will have to find the full details. It is only mustangs. It would be cool to start a mini cruise to the meeting spot.

 

I've heard about this, but never seen any details. So what parts of the bay do they cruise around? It would be pretty cool to all meet up though

 

hey M&F'r ima be back in the BAY in may. F korea in the A. ima be in richmond for 25-30 days in the great month of MAY. highway 80 is not a playground

 

ha ha ha....your right cause there is so much traffic all the time you couldn't get going fast enough to make it a playground! ha ha ha.

I know your in Korea now, but are you from Richmond?

 

I don't think the full details are set yet, but its sometime around May 12th. I think the meeting spot will be in Fremont and then they will be cruising over the Dumbarton bridge and from there I have no idea. I think the cruise itself is around an hour or so long. When more info. comes out I'll keep this thread updated.

 

im from richmond. i didnt really hang out there though. spent all my time in pinole.

i may have something going on later that night on may 12th, family G2G.

dumbarton bridge freaks me out. i dunno know why. i have this heights problem. i cant even walk across the golden gate.

 

dumbarton is only 1ft off the water... san mateo is the tall one.

I'm going for sure. Blk and jjt if you guys want, we can meet at my place and cruise out there together. There's a few others in my area that'll probably meet up with us too.

 

im sure im closer to blk and jjt than you are. prolly be better to meet up at a fast food joint near fremont.

i thought san mateo bridge was dumbarton bridge? the only bridges i frequented was richmond, golden gate, and bay bridge.

 

no... you're not. I live 6 miles from blk and 8 from jjt... we're all in the dublin-pleasanton-livermore area. So... yeah, we 3 can meet at my place or stoneridge mall (probably the best of the 3 plans).

Fremont is 17 miles from my house, 12 from blk's and 14-15 from jjt's (estimates on theirs).

San Mateo bridge runs from Mid-Hayward to of all things... San Mateo. Dumbarton goes from Union City/Newark to Palo Alto. You'll be ok... it's a cruise, not a walk. And if you fall off the bridge I'll be sure to laugh at your misfortune and call the coast guard to come pick up the body.

 

I'm actually a lot closer than 6 miles r3d. Just go down Stanley and turn left where that McDonalds and gas station is on the corner and I'm just a few streets away. But yeah, I'm down for going and will meet up wherever, r3ds place, the mall, wherever.

 

I just had to bust stangers chops a bit... have ta' rib the locals.

Make that 4 miles.

 

yeah yall got me i havent lived out there for 4 years

 

you gotta get out of Korea and come back and enjoy the bay. anyways, when the event gets closer we can discuss a meeting point and time so we can all cruise down together. I think jjtgiants is in Mountain House? Is that right on the otherside of the Altamont?

 

Yeah, just across the Alameda County border before Tracy...bought a brand new town house out there in september and the lady and I are already looking to move back closer to civilization....ha ha ha...Cool house, but shitty commute and Tracy is the just about the worst city ever. We didn't think all of that would be too big of a deal because we just couldn't find anything worth a dam around here...but it's starting to wear on us a little.

Anyway, it's cool. if I can go I'll meet you guys wherever

 

Yeah whenever I drive out that way I see the sign for Mountain House Parkway or whatever and I see nothing around, haha. It's like where the hell is this place. Me and my lady have thought about getting a house in Brentwood, but then its like screw that, the drive sucks and I don't know if I could stand living out there. I guess for now I'll continue to rent a townhouse until the time being. I just want a damn garage.

 

Yeah, there isn't much around there, but next time your out that way check it out. It's a really nice development, but it's really new so there isn't a lot around, but in a few years it will look much different. They built two new schools and some office buildings within the development and the san joaquin delta college will go right there as well....they are trying to make it a nice suburb of Tracy.

I hear ya on the garage dude.....I'll PM you.

 

old thread but givin it a bump....
and i finally took a look at a map of the bay and realized how off i was. i must of been thinkin pleasant hill was pleasanton

i should be landin in SFO by may 2nd

 

Pleasant Hill isn't too far from Pleasanton......maybe 30 miles

 

my parents house is 38 miles away from stonridge...

 

Yeah Pleasant Hill isnt far at all. May 2nd is a great day to be coming in. Thats my birthday.

 

well i just got my travel **** today and i dont fly out till MAY 10th . i was supposed to leave the day before i got here last year, which was may 2nd 's

 

Just wanted to see who was still possibly on board for this? May 12th is soon approaching. I'm still pretty sure I will be going.

 

is there some more information on this....like where everyone is meeting for the cruise and the route of the cruise?

Here is what I found....The route seems a little weak, but what do I know. ha ha ha

"We are tentatively going to be starting on Dumbarton Circle in Fremont. This is the exit right before the toll plaza.
We'll be going across the DumbartonBridge Westbound
North on 101
Across San Mateo Bridge East bound
Then contiue on 92 into Hayward and then left onto Mission Blvd.
There about 60 eateries there."

 

cafords.com ... there should be a thread there.

I'll probably meet y'all at stoneridge mall in the JC Penny parking lot and then we can all cruise there. I'm betting we start at ANAS and do the bay bridge to dumbarton, to san jose run again. It's best to arrive early or you have to walk for days to get to the everyone meeting.

 

I haven't checked cafords recently, but what jjgiants said is what I have seen so far. I would much rather go the route r3d mentioned. Anywho, lets keep updating this until the day comes so we can have a mini cruise to the actual location.

 

ill be there....

 

So this is the latest news I've seen.

May 12th, 10am Meet and Greet, Cruise at Noon.

Dumbarton Circle, Fremont.

I guess the guy putting it on couldnt find a big enough spot for a BBQ, so after the cruise I guess everyone is meeting up in a parking garage in downtown Fremont. From there you can go eat wherever you want. Some chick said she is having a 21st. Bday BBQ that same day at a park in Sunnyvale and that all cafords guys are welcome. There are some 200 stangs supposedly showing up.

It should be fun and I might have to bring a video camera.

 

call it a meet at Stoneridge Mall at 0900, depart for freakmont at 09:30, and so on.

have they given the route for the cruise any thought?

 

Sounds good. I went through all the pages on cafords and I didn't catch anything about the route changing from what was originally posted. I would think they would start posting the final route soon.

 

Here's a little update and the final route:
