Drive Saturday the 19th

Sounds good.
Where in Leesburg to meet?
How long of a drive?

 

What's the route? What kind of lunch (grease or no grease)?

 

that's in VA! I like to drive 100+!

 

Weather sounds good, clear and 70. bst1 and Red4REcat will both be there in 355 and 360. My daughter will ride shotgun, so I'll keep it under 150.

 

Baseball games from 3pm-8pm, then off to PA!!!!!

 

Planning/discussion thread over at elisetalk

 

Thanks to Steve and dododge for linking the F-chat guys up. As mentioned the run is aprox. 130 miles as clocked when we pre-ran it a while back. I am estimating that it will take about 3 hours to complete. Speeds should be in the "fun zone" but nothing too insane as these roads don't really lend them selve to it. They are much more of the "technical" variety for the most part. I should be a good day if the we get the weather they are calling for. It also looks like we will have a good mix of cars as well. Hope you guys can join us.

Oh yes, the end point is in a shopping center for those who want to hang around for lunch.

 

Believe it or not, there are four Starbucks in or near Leesburg!
- One is on Edwards Ferry Road in the shopping center by Ruby Tuesdays restaurant. Address is 1011 Edwards Ferry Road N.E.
- There is one inside the Super Target store across the street at 1200 Edwards Ferry Road, N.E.
- Another is on Market Street across from the Giant shopping center. Address is 531 E. Market Street. This is the one that most people will probably think of going to.
- Another is on Route 7 just East of town. Address is National Conference Training Center, Route 7, Lobby Alcove, Leesburg, VA 20176

The Google route map referenced in the earlier post makes it look like the starting point is the Starbucks at 1011 Edwards Ferry Road N.E. (in the same shopping center as Ruby Tuesdays and Shoppers Food Warehouse).

Just confirming we are suppose to meet at the Starbucks located at 1011 Edwards Ferry Road N.E., true?

Thanks.

Route looks good. Steve, convoy? Meet up where in VA?

 

I found the answer in the EliseTalk forum link:

"The plan is still to meet between 8:00 and 8:15 AM that morning. This is the Starbucks on Edwards Ferry Rd. across from Target and Cosco ..."
.

 

Correct, it is the Starbucks that is in the Ruby's/Shopper's Food Wharehouse shopping center. Feel free to shoot me PM if you have any questions.

 

8 am isn't doable for us......is it 8 or 9?

 

We arn't pulling out until 9AM. Just coffee, donuts, pictures from 8AM until 9.

 

I'm most likely out. Rain likely too.

 

Steve, sorry to hear that. I hope all is OK. Hopefully we can hook later in the season.

 

steve, sorry to he to here that. i wish yer well.

 

Will do we will surely hook up in the next few weeks. We will be thinking about her. Let us know how it all turns outs.

I have been watching the weather and we may just pull this one off. If anyone else wants to join us please come out and say hello and go for a drive. Shoot me a PM for questions or if you would like to come along.

Thumbs up Steve!!!!

 

Unless it is raining hard at 8 a.m., I'll still try to be there at Starbucks in Leesburg.

Thanks for setting this up.

Best wishes Steve, for your Mom's quick recovery.

 

No problem. Everything looks to be dry until 3PM. Fingers crossed.

 

Too bad I won't have her by then...

Rock on. Too bad indeed. Beautiful car amigo. But hey I know how you feel. My car was suppose to be ready today to but they can't get a few tuning issues worked out. I actually went down to pick it up and even got to ride in it for the first time since the install but it just wasn't quite right for me to take home. Oh well another week or so.
