Steve, you are the man! Thank you for coordinating this run every year. If the brake bleed tonight goes well, I will be there.

i didn't make the run up to mt hamilton but here's a video of yesterdays event. the first 4 minutes is of our drive out there (sweet flat six sounds), then of the cars in the back lot and finally a short clip of my drive home. it was good to meet some new folks and catch up with old friends. happy new year.

Livermore Porsche 1/1 Run

Nice vid! Thank you for putting it together and sharing.

Steve, thanks for organizing a great event from a first timer.
I drove up from the San Jose side, and minutes after
I arrived at the peak, dozens of Porsches rolled up.

A beautiful windless clear day and spectacular view.

There are a few curves that are 'Mini-Pikes Peak',
steep drop-offs w no guardrails and no shoulders on either side.

It became interesting due to the large number of cyclists
-ascending & descending- that resulted in a few hair-raising
moments, for both parties. I met several riders descending
at high speed only inches from the double yellow line,
meeting me mid-point around blind curves. :eek:

Several times progress came to a full stop, due to blind curves +
cyclists on my right. There isn't enough room for 2 vehicles and bikes,
somebody is going over the precipice.

Troubling, when the slowly ascending cyclists heard me approaching at speed,
quite a few groups made absolutely no efforts to move from the center
of the lane to the edge, and some continued to ride 2 and 3 abreast.

No way they couldn't hear my air-cooled flat six approaching at redline!
The cyclist's disregard for road manners/physical injury is puzzling.

The majority of cyclists did a great job of sharing the road.
I'll do it again next year, with a drone ahead of me clearing the way!
