A pretty small scale rally compared to Rides of March and Morning Wood, but still lots of fun!

We met this morning at a diner in Los Gatos and headed into the Santa Cruz mountains, a brief stop in Big Basin Redwoods State Park, then over to Stevens Creek County Park, west of Cupertino, for the concours and BBQ.

Watch the video carefully and you'll understand why Roland won the "best 80's" award Laughing emoticon

If you're looking for another event check out the Redwoods to River ride in Santa Rosa. It is a fun one.

Unfortunately I can't go this year because I'll be recovering from surgery.

Thanks, Brad; unfortunately, I'm not available either - I have a lot going on that weekend, including my wife's birthday and flying to England!

All the best with your op!

Pleasanton Vesparados Scooter Club joined Vespa Club Los Gatos/Vespa Club San Jose for our Sunday morning Classico Moto Italia ride up to Sunol.

Nice and dry, gorgeous scenery, a mid-ride stop for a milkshake, and burritos when we got back to San Jose - a perfect day scooting!
