Low Ball Rally (SoCal ---> SOTU) Route Poll

[Pure Euro]

Low Ball Rally. Friday, October 22nd. Stance of the Union. October 23rd.

Yeah, it's happening.... We'll be departing SoCal early Friday morning giving us plenty of time to make our way up to Sacramento! I'll be setting rally-points along the way, dependent on the route we decide on. There will be t-shirts, stickers, and everything else you'd expect out of a long caravan, so let's start talking about details!

The purpose of this thread is to vote on and discuss the route we'll take... Either is fine by me!

Option 1) I-5N Basically a direct route just under 400 miles from Los Angeles with a travel time just over 6 hours. An extremely "boring" route with very little scenery but would save 2 hours in travel time over option 2.

Option 2) 101N passing the SF/Oakland area and over to Sacramento Just over 500 miles from Los Angeles with an expected travel time over 8 hours. A more scenic route and would allow us to pick up/meet with the Bay-Area people on our way over but adds at least an extra 2 hours to the drive plus the possibilities of partial toll roads

I'm sure we have a ton of So Cal people going up for the event...

I would prefer option 2 since I originally planned on driving to sf thursday and then to SOTU friday night so if you cruised through SF I could meet up with you guys for the last part. But if this caravan gets big enough I might change my plans.

The scenic route sounds tight. The main thing that's been concerning me though, which ones the "easier" drive for static cars?

101 north non low car friendly

For parts, yeah.. you'll def have your butthole puckered if you're legitimately low...

me being one of them! i know the 101 is gonna be shitty for cars that are low, i heard the 5 is bumpy as hell till you get out of the mountains going north. what to do what to do. that and ive been looking everywhere for people that are gonna caravan up there and i havent found anything i just get sent back to this thread haha

[Pure Euro]

Roy, where are you heading up from?

[Roy1928]

im heading up from orange county. north county to be more specific sir

[Amoney47]

i of all people know which way is best i drove both routes in my ef, the one that is like 2 inches off the ground, i ***** the 101 the 5 actually is really nice after the grapevine, but its all doable, just get ready to hear some tire rub. the 5 has random cracks from cement to asphalt and those are harsh other than that a smooth drive. i say 1

[cheez80]

stay on the left lane on the 5 once you're past the grapevine. some of those bridges have crazy expansion joints on the right lane
