Coming to SF - July 7-11

Looks like I will be headed to San Francisco for a few days in July. Have plans for that Saturday, but things look pretty open the rest of the time. Anything going on rotary-wise that weekend? Any places that I could rent a RX8 for the weekend? Any good roads nearby? I really would like to take Monday morning and hit some roads. I'm even willing to stay an additional day of it takes it.

Yeah David, your timing is off just a bit. But give us a call when you get in town and we'll try to meet up and at least hang out for a while.

If you're in SF and I'm in town we can get a bunch of the locals and go out for some drinks or something.

Well, I will definately be out there that specific weekend - have a wedding there to attend on the 8th. I came out last year, but it was for MotoGP. This year I can only make it out there once and the wedding has to be the priority. So I would like to meet up with some other 7 owners. Planning on renting a RX8 while I'm there (so I won't go through withdrawals). Need some good roads to run while I'm there also.

I definately want to hit some roads there. Most of the West Coast (Cali) canyon roads that I have been on are smooth turns - like a roller coaster. I am used to running more hairpins and extreme elevation changes (US129, 60, etc.) Since I will have my wife with me, it will probably have to be on Monday.

Just booked my room for the time. I am busy all day on Sat and Sun it appears, but Monday is open. Friday night might also be open if there is something really good.
