Mt. Hamilton Run for Absent Friends Recap





The Sun finally came through for us! Thank you all for your understanding and patience
as this run was postponed last month due to weather conditions. The weather today
was ideal so it was worth the wait!


We had a good turn out for the run. 20 cars joined in starting in San Jose. The cars were
divided into 2 groups of 10 cars each with Simon leading the way. We made or way to 
the top of Mount Hamilton through the twists and turns of the narrow switchback road.
Everyone did well navigating this challenging route. I had a couple of the new members
comment how much they enjoyed driving this route. The run was certainly a great 
introduction to the club for them. We stopped at the top of Mt. Hamilton at the Lick
Observatory for a break before the descent. Simon found a spot for a photo op along
Mines Road before we made it into Livermore gathering at The First Street Ale House
for some post-run socializing. A fine way to end the run enjoying the company of our
club members.

This year’s Mt. Hamilton Run for Absent Friends is dedicated to Tom Geiger a long
time member of the club who passed away last year. He will be missed.

Thank you again for joining in on this annual NorCal MINIs run.
