Turn around points are Hillsdale Mall in San Mateo on El Camino and 3rd Ave. This is a two mile stretch of El Camino. We encourage everyone to cruise the streets from end to end to minimize traffic before turning around and returning the other way. Cars look best in motion so let’s cruise! But remember this is a CRUISE! Not a drag race, not a sideshow or a parking lot rev off. Anything that may cause us to be shut down PLEASE DO NOT DO. We are very fortunate to have a great relationship with SMPD and the SMCS. With their help we have been able to grow our cruise to the largest there has been in decades. We thank them for their continued support over the last 8 years! SMPD and SMCS WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE.SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS:
