For Twisties, my favorite is Niles Canyon Road from Fremont to Sunol. We've been doing canonball runs since 1974. I've finished a hair under 3 minutes before

hmm...that sounds pretty interesting...what's it like?

It's a 5.5 Mile Run from Mission Blvd in Fremont to Sunol. It has everything from wide sweeping turns to tight turns that are banked nicely. It also finishes with a straight away that (on clear traffic days) you can reach 120-160 mph (depending on the car) and have plenty of time to slow to the finish. I take my test drives out there befor purchasing any car. Oh, for a little variety, you can speed through the other way.

cool....btw, any cool mountains around here where we can go drive?

Niles canyon =/

I really wouldn't recommend it...there are quite a few people that ride bikes down there, and there is pretty much NO shoulder in a lot of places.

A lot of bicyclists die there ever year. You see crosses up and down that road. Its funny you all mention it because I was thinking of it earlier...but no, don't want to hit some poor sap!

mmm...I just hit Skyline today, at berkeley, except this time I took Pinehurst on my way down. Never did it before, but I'm certainly going to do it again! Wheee...so many curves....@_@

Actually, the sight lines are good enough where you normally pick up the bikers...if you know the road well. But the best time to run is at 10:00 at night - not cyclist at that time.

deer? I worry about that a little bit at night.

A deer at 45 mph(average speed limit), or 65, doesn't matter, if ya hit it, ya hit it
