So I was driving home last night and found a fun spot on the freeway. It’s on 880 as you are about to hit downtown. It’s a spot where there are these waves in the pavement. If you are going 60-75 in the fast lane, it’s kinda like a rollercoaster. GIRLS be warned-you may need a sports bar. The experience only lasts about 30 seconds, but it’s a fun 30 seconds.
I know of one other spot in the bay similar to this one. It’s on 92 coming from 280 heading towards Hayward. It’s again in the fast lane right before you are on the overpass of 101.
I think the reason I enjoy this is because on a trip to Nebraska when I was just learning to drive, my dad showed me “the dip”. It’s a dip in the road on one of the side streets in a small town. I guess when he lived there, it was the FUN thing to do on a Friday night. I remember it was the highlight of the trip for my brother. Around and around we went to ride “the dip”.
It’s all about the small joys in life. Ride the rollercoaster of life!

This is a positive post about driving :) good job Jen! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's great -- you just gave me a reason to look forward to a commute on 880 (one of my least favorite freeways) -- but I have to check out the roller coaster ride. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the small hills, as a kid we'd accelerated as we approached the peak!! Oh the wonderful feeling of leaving your stomach behind!
ReplyDeleteHA! I remember when you showed me the dips on 92. Full-speed ahead, goes Jen. =)
ReplyDeleteHA HA
ReplyDeleteWe have an entire street I take Ellara down for a roller coaster ride. It has like 5 of those great lifting hills all in a row. Best part is usually no cars on the road. Its even called OLD OAKLEY RD. lol
