Recap of Summers End Run 2011
Weather was fantastic, great people and a route to end the summer. Food was up the expectations, a few glitches which come with every large group. Overall they received an A-. Highway 20 from Willits to Fort Bragg had enough twists and switchbacks to keep even the most experienced drivers alert. The drive along Pacific Coast Highway 1 down and thru Mendocino kept us together in one group approaching the bridge where two photographers were waiting to snap off several photos as the parade of cars crossed over. Then several down hill coastal switchbacks with great back drops of the ocean made for some great rolling photos. Approaching the dark road ahead was Navarro River Redwoods, which was like something out of Jurassic Park. It was taken very easy thru this stretch of road to take in all the beauty the forest has to offer. Dropped into Anderson Valley where the vineyards are dotted along the sweeping highway onto Roederer Estates which was very upscale and stylish with all the cars lined up along the hillside of vineyards and southward was a great view of the Anderson Valley that stretches for miles. After cool refreshments provided by Pete & Karen and some cookies from Ken and Mary tucked away in the boot from the morning send off, we said our farewells and headed back on the highway for another 40 miles of pure adrenaline back roads twisting thru to Highway 101. Everyone parted their own way back home and we followed Steve and Simon for some time before we also turned off towards Sacramento. The Summers End Run was an appropriate title for the last run of the summer before we headed back to work and the kids back to school, one last fling before back to the grind. Thanks to all that participated, I made a lot of new friends and caught up on times with old friends. Until we meets again, keep all fours on the road and the pedal to the metal. I would like to thank the following people for helping out. Pete and Karen created a spreadsheet for the lunch menu. They also collected all of the menus. Registration was assisted by Cindy & Jim. Hal for being tail gunner, the last person, but the most important, he is the glue that keeps everything smooth. His idea to split up the 30 cars into groups of 6 made Hwy 20 much more enjoyable. Photo links will follow as soon as I sort them and upload to a web server. Some have already provided photo links which I will email more links as they become available. In the meantime some have already posted their fantastic photos, so enjoy these and more to come.

Itinerary and Lunch menu
Below is the itinerary and lunch menu for participants to preview before the day of the Run. Both will be handed out on Sat at the main staging area in Petaluma along with the map.
Note: don’t be sticker shocked at the prices on the menu, the underlined (Entries & Sandwiches) have everything worked into the price. What you see is the total of what you pay (gratuity + tax+ beverage). The non underlined (Appetizers & Soups) do not have gratuity, tax and beverage and those items will have the gratuity + tax added at the register. The wine list is on the website for your review. Note there is a $6 tasting fee which will be placed towards the purchase of a bottle of wine. It’s well worth it just for the relaxation and hospitality Roederer Estate is providing for such a large car group. Please try to patronage the winery even if you do not purchase a bottle or two, the $6 will cover their cost as they usually do not allow car clubs to come thru. One of our participants (Pete & Karen) has been so kind to provide 2 cases of water and took it up the Roederer last Saturday and they are storing it in their refrigerator for us. We may need to get some more water to bring along for our relaxation stop at Roederer Estate. Roederer Estate Vineyards Anderson Valley Sparkling Wine | Roederer Estate . .

Starting to make plans and a time table to trim off some time from the run. Route will be the same although will be cutting out some stops and a photoshoot.
One month away, do not sit on the fence too long. This is my granddaddy Run for the year. Tops along with The Feather River Run. |
