PGT Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 So, let's do it again this year! Meet up in NoVA, cruise down some sweet roads (TBD), and grab burgers at the end. Thinking of two scenarios...... #1 it is! This Saturday 8/6 at 9:15am. Meet at Starbuck's on Edwards Ferry Rd in Leesburg. 1) Same as last year - starting in Leesburg, down Mt. Weather, out Rt 50 to Ft Royal, down 522 to 29, up to Sperryville on 211 and over the roads to Luray (Alex - slow down here!! ), then back up 340 to Front Royal for burgers at Spelunkers. 2) Meet in Centreville - do a similar run, but run it backwards and end up in Leesburg at my place for my (in)famous burgers and a small BBQ! Dates.....August? Thinking one of the first few weekends. Suggestions? Who's in?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallispec Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 i vote for option #2 - count me in either way though. first weekend in August sounds good to me, although any weekend should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 I'm open to alternate routes - the only two goals would be some cool roads and the best burgers we can find (mine or elsewhere...no matter) vs. the normal install days we always do.

c-lo Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I'll see if I can map one out. there are some cool back roads around my hood that are do-able. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 this isn't a speed run...just a cruise, so keep that in mind. We'd like to stay clear of cops in any case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-lo Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 awww, no cannonball run?? couple roads that come to mind are rte 17, which dumps you off at rte 70. rte 287 and rte 9. following both would take you into west va. we could even end up in harpers ferry if we really wanted too. eat somewhere there. how long are the drives usually? 17 is fun, but if we go towards wv, then we couldn't take that route. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 I said good burgers!! That means better than Five Guys, like mine are and Spelunker's is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.R. Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I'm interested. How about the weekend of the 11th? I only saw one other suggestion for the date, and I'm auto-xing on the 6th. So I'll be out of town for that. But I would like to meet some of the other people from the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 If you all wouldn't mind a new face, I'd like to make it to your run. I live in Fishersville and wouldn't mind driving at all. Grumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Fishersville?? I dated a girl back in college from there. A bit of a hike for you, but of course you are welcome to join us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Yeah, its a bit of a run, but I don't mind; been looking for a run of some kind in this area with no luck. On our days off, wife and I like to take off and run back roads just for the heck of it. Generally run 100-300 milesgo to places new to us and hunt out small downtown areas and restraunts. Let me know what date and instructions to starting location. Grumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxx Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 damn this sounds like fun. Sorry PGT but the company moved ole Jimbo to hotlanta. Otherwise I'd take a trip down to see him & the 2 of us would ride witchas "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama! I'm the president...of hittin' the ass!" -this is not a political view it's merely a quote from a hilarious tv show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
