Ryan, I know it may be little early coming from San Jose but try your best to join us at the Castro Valley location. You can drive up 880 north and take 238 East to Castro Valley. See you then...
okay sounds good. What should I bring for the potluck?
P.S. hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I have an axle back exhaust for sale and strut bar I would love to get off my hands. It would be awesome if someone wanted to buy them at this meet.

Great Idea...let's make it a cruise, bbq, games, and swap meet too.
Michael, be sure to bring some of your recently made T-Shirts for sale also.
Maybe this will turn out to be an annual Northern California Meet & Swap

btw, have you done any other mods to your Fit since Scotts Valley Breakfast Run?
As far as potluck, can you bring any side dish? i.e. potato salad, macaroni salad, garden salad?
See you early Saturday 19th

Hey Special, would be cool to have a Red Fit among the group. I believe you are the only one with a Red fit so far...

Hey some of us NorCal/Bay Area people here are hosting a cruise and bbq meet May 19th, 2012 and we want to invite everyone to join. Here are the details:
What: Cruise/Pot Luck BBQ Meet
When: May 19th, 2012. As early as 9am to whenever.
Why: To have some fun, meet other current and ex-Fit owners and friends.
Where: Castro Valley, San Ramon, Mt. Diablo, Walnut Creek. (Depending on where you're coming from and where you want to meet up; more details to follow.)
There is an admission of $10 to Mt. Diablo State Park.
Map of the cruise: Driving directions to Arbolado Park, Walnut Creek, CA - Google Maps
We'll be cruising in the morning, taking local streets with very few traffic lights. There will be three spots to join up. Castro Valley, San Ramon, and the very last spot before climbing up Mt. Diablo will be a school in Danville. Those locations are marked on the map.
Meeting Spot details:
Castro Valley, McDonald's, Strobridge Ave @8:30am, depart @9am
San Ramon, Diablo Plaza around CVS and Starbucks @9:20am, depart @9:45am
Danville, Athenian School, Mt. Diablo Scenic Blvd @10am, depart @10:20am
Please arrive early or at least on time; there will be a window to gather, and meet/greet. We want to depart on time and do not want anyone trailing.
Cruise from Athenian School to Mt. Diablo Summit will take about 30mins, and another 30mins from the summit down to Arbolado Park in Walnut Creek. There will be an opportunity to stop and look around at the summit. Check out the view, take pictures, etc.
We will then arrive at Arbolado Park to set up for the bbq around noon; eat and have some fun. If for whatever reason you cannot make the cruise, you are welcomed to join the bbq. We will set up a game of some sort and have small prizes and awards for participation.
It's going to be a pot luck bbq so please bring your favorites, your own recipes, snacks, drinks, etc. Majority of the food will most likely be provided by our Konig_feather/flatout.
More details or new info will follow as we progress closer to the event date. Here is the "sign up" list for those going. Please put your screen name, which spot you will be meeting at, and any other people or friends joining, and what you are bringing to the pot luck bbq. We look forward to a great turnout, thanks!
If you don't know how many people or what food to bring, please edit yourself later, and we'll all try to clean up the list as best as possible. Spread the word, tag Fits on the road with post-it's!
The list:
1. DoYouFit? - Henry C. - @CV - May have some friends join. Looking to bring a good amount of food.
2. annievil - Annie - @CV -
3. Wanderer. - "Hopeful" - @CV

I took the liberty of updating the list. I've include those who are not sure hoping you all could make it.
Please be sure to update following information: 1) screen handle 2) name 3) which location you will be meeting up (i.e. @CV=Castro Valley, @SR=San Ramon, @D=Danville) 4) most importantly, what you will be bringing to potluck
Take care everyone...
