Hello fellow Nico Junkies!
I've been on Z People \ Z32 Drivers like crazy lately, if you're wondering.
Come join "BayZa" (Bay Area Z Association) in one of the biggest Z32 meets in California.

Hey guys; It's that time of year again! YAY!!!
This is the reason April 28th is ALREADY on your calendars.. right ? :)
Time to pull through the last semester and quarter of classes,
Time to anxiously await summer!
-Time for a real BayZA meet-

Things to bring:
Fully charged Camera. (Video shoots very nice up here, Go Pro = win!)
Passenger to hold the Camera :)
Walkie talkies, <~ THIS IS VERY FUN!
$$ for food and gas.
Good driving shoes. (Ladies)
Positive attitude :)

The day starts out at 11am. We meet on the East side of Khol's. (Room for 70+ Z's)
Meet and tell the stories of our Z's, share improvements over last year :)
1) At this time, make sure you talk to me and get a slip of paper for the route directions and for the secondary meet location.
[Caltrain station, 5560 Monterey Hwy., San Jose 95138] room for 200+
2) Please take this time to make sure you have gas for the drive.
There is a gas station right across the intersection.
3) Eat at your own pace: Take a friend or 5, head down to In N' Out when you feel hungry and eat! Like last year, spacing out when we eat was a great way to keep the lines and waits down, and concentrate on Z's.
4) I will be briefing everyone about the drive at 1pm, please set your cell phones to remind you to come back to your Z's.


We will drive around 25 Miles for our picture spot, (Arrive at 2pm) take pictures and relax for an hour, or as time sees fit. (leave at 3pm)
Then continue the drive another 10 miles to our second stop, a Togos & Baskin Robins. (3:45pm)
At this point in the drive, you may stay and chat or jump over to 101 and go home.

Address of In N' Out:
In-N-Out Burger
5611 Santa Teresa Boulevard
San Jose, CA 95123-2649

As always, I care about your safety. During the briefing of the drive, I will run everyone through driving tips and etiquette for the road. Although we will have a very large group, we still need to share the road with bicyclists. Please stay alert and aware of your surroundings.
This trip is semi-low car friendly. Pulling off at the picture spot will be problematic. please be aware of this. (Dirt pulloff, lip on the side of the road is a 2 inch drop in some places.)

-Please no burnouts at the In N' Out lot. We do not have any special permissions there-

29 Signed up on BayZa Facebook. If you are signed up on facebook, you do not need to sign up on Nico as well!

Zee you guys there!!!

Dont worry, we're going easy on the drive! Many of our group will be new drivers who do not know how to handle the weight yet. We will keep top speed under 60mph and put the slow group up front to keep pace. We will be there, probably 50 Z's :)
