FIRST SUNDAY DRIVES
We meet on the First Sunday of every month for casual, non-competitive drives to and through some of the lesser known areas around the Bay. Any Mercedes-Benz driver is welcome to join in these no-cost events. On a given Sunday our caravan might include anything from a 1955 Gullwing to a new McLaren SLR with a host of every vintage and model in between.
Meeting locations and route directions are delivered via e-mail to the group about two weeks in advance of the drive. To be included on our mailing list just send an e-mail to join@FirstSundayDrives.com. We look forward to having you join us for a drive soon!
After an October break to accommodate StarFest, sixteen cars were back on the road for the First Sunday in November. A fortunate break in the weather gave us brisk air and the smell of wood-burning stoves as we drove through some of the remote back roads on the Santa Cruz Mountains. Fourteen cars learned why it is important to follow your own directions and not just the bumper of the car ahead of you - but in the end we all re-connected for a great lunch in the Beer Garden of the Alpine Inn in Portola Valley.
If you are attending the Monterey Bay Aquarium event in January, be sure to sign up for notification of the Sunday Drive through the Carmel Valley the following day!
For all the details on future drives, make sure you're on our e-mail list!
