Default Brake break-in road?

Anyone got a suggestion for a good place to do the StopTech brake break-in procedure (10 stops 60-5 mph) somewhere around the South Bay or Peninsula?

Default Hammond Way in Milpitas

I use this road quite a bit for "testing" purposes It's long enough to hit speeds of 100-110. Plus it's nice and wide, probably 3 or 4 lanes worth of road. It's a dead end with RR tracks along one side, and a railroad shipping yard on the other, so no one is ever around.

If anyone knows of any other good places, I'd love to know. They are pretty hard to come by around here!<ul><li><a href="http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?BFCat=&amp;Pyt=Tmap&amp;newFL=Use+Address+ Below&amp;addr=hammond+way&amp;csz=milpitas%2C+ca& amp;Country=us&amp;Get%A0Map=Get+Map">Map</a></li></ul>

Default Good to know. I've used Spring St. at Hedding....

Long enough to do 60-5 runs, but watch out when black and whites pass by. The police station is a half mile away. And, turn around before the park. This keeps you in between deserted lots.<ul><li><a href="http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?BFCat=&amp;Pyt=Tmap&amp;newFL=Use+Address+ Below&amp;addr=Spring+St.+and+Hedding&amp;csz=San+ Jose%2C+CA+&amp;Country=us&amp;Get%A0Map=Get+Map"> Spring Street South of Hedding</a></li></ul>

Default Thanks guys.

That's it in the whole Bay Area? I may have to go out to Winters for further testing.....

Note the scale on the map.<ul><li><a href="http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?Ds=n&amp;uz=95694&amp;BFCat=&amp;Pyt=Tmap& amp;addr=&amp;city=Winters&amp;state=CA&amp;csz=Wi nters%2C+CA&amp;slt=38.524929&amp;sln=-121.970917&amp;zip=&amp;country=us&amp;mag=6&amp;c s=7&amp;BFClient=&a
