About this event
King City to Big Sur via Fort Hunter Liggett on Sat. 4/11. The Drive starts early at 7.45am w/ Drivers’ Briefing in Morgan Hill. You’ll need to leave the Mid-Peninsula area no later than 7 o’clock, so bear this in mind. Leaving Morgan Hill at 8.15 we head south for a 1 hr. drive to King City and take a v.short pit stop, before going to Ft. Hunter Liggett. Then it’s up and over the mountain, dropping to Highway One on the ocean side. Heading north on One to Napenthe’s restaurant in Big Sur, we’ll have lunch together and enjoy a famous view of the Pacific coast.
We’ve been restricted to reserving very limited places for lunch at 11.30am [sharp]. The restaurant and parking lot will be v.full of Spring Break crowds, but walk to the head of the line. Happily there are several other places nearby w/ availability. Less than a mile further up the road is the entry to Ventana (you should call for reservations), or continue north 4.8 miles [8 min] to Big Sur River Inn. You will pay for your own meal in these sites.
For those with our Nepenthe reservations, we'll have a fixed price of $29pp for any food item on the Lunch Menu, inclusive of soft drink, tax, tip. You’ll pre-pay the lunch and GGR fee when you register yourself and passenger on MotorsportsReg.com.
The FunRun ends at Nepenthe’s, so after lunch, drive to Carmel and take a look around town as well as doing the 17 Mile Drive & visit the Aquarium; then on up One to Castroville, east on 156 to 101 to get back home.
At the Drivers’ Briefing, Saturday, April 11 at 7.45am [address to follow], and after signing insurance waivers, we will divide cars into appropriate groups depending on drivers' desired pace. Because this FunRun is not a leisurely "destination tour," you'll need to give some thought to your diving style. This is an energetic drive and we want members to be comfortable and above all, safe. Arrive at the Briefing w/ a full tank and an empty bladder.
