I'm in Sacramento, but all my family is in the Bay. My brother in law is in San Jose, 5 minutes from Santana Row. I might be down there next weekend.
I went to Santa Cruz a couple of months ago. On the way out our Navi directed us to take this road called Soquel (sp?). It connected to HWY 17. It was about 11-12 miles of twisties. I was in 2nd and 3rd gear the entire time. Check it out!
