Looking forward to this. I hope its 100% sunny.
But if you guys dont also mind going on a few twisty roads, there are a few in my backyard in Redmond. its a blast to take the Gs around the twisty.
Suggestion for 14miles of cruising
Ames lake rd and Tolt hill

Just a quick update for you guys. To take a stab at getting from one destination to another, as a group, we'll be designating lead cars. Cars will be marked with a small (but noticeable) piece of blue painters tape.
Any volunteers? No obligation here. We're expecting ~30 cars, and having seen past gathering get dispersed, we thought it might be a good idea? ?
Not much to do - but for example, coming out of the bellevue parking structure and going down the road to Sushi Maru, lead cars would go around the block (take a right out instead of left <- takes you to the main road) and come around the connecting side to block traffic so that our group could leave the parking structure in given sections. Not blocking cars permanently - just letting small groups out. The next set of lead cars will come around the corner and do the same.

So quick update. I scoped out the path from Ames lake yesterday and changed the path a bit to include a lil funner curves going up hill and also a rest area with a micky Ds and few restaurants parking lot.
We will stop at the Destination marked E.
Ames lake Rd to NE Novelty Rd
So, am not expecting anyone to go fast as well, although its much more funner taking the corners a bit faster. But at times there are traffic ahead to make the travel a lil so pace but nevertheless, it should be a good ride and take em at a reasonable pace, we dont want anyone making unexpected paychecks to the state now

^ sweet deal man. thanks again for scoping the route out. looks good to me! will post across boards.
update for the meet: looks like we'll be expecting approximately ~30 individual cars. the lunch at sushi maru is not a for sure thumbs up. we'll be leaving once we have everyone up top at the initially gathering point. plan to meet at the top structure and leave within the next 30-45 minutes!
(the restaurant's down the street, in front of sushi yama and behind the new safeway grocery store).
