I don’t know where we are with HSBs, but I can put one together for the 19th of October leaving from Leesburg. Let me know and I will put it on the calendar.

Adding the GPX for the run tomorrow. DCMM Excursion Luray (14SEP25).gpx

We are a little less than a week away from this event and the weather is looking great. We are doing this run a month earlier than last year's, so the impact from the Skyline Drive leaf traffic should be very minimal. So, get your MINI prepared and your driving gloves ready for this twisty drive to Luray. We hope to see you this Sunday and if you have any questions, please let us know.

Event Title: An Excursion to Luray Event Date: 09/14/2025 10:00 AM to 09/14/2025 03:15 PM Event Address: Please join us for a Sunday run to Luray and back through Virginia’s rolling countryside. Our drive will begin at the Walmart in Haymarket where we will head west through the rolling countryside of Virginia. We will make a quick bio-break in Front Royal before heading to one of the finest twisty roads in the Shenandoah Valley. Nicknamed the Valley within a Valley, Fort Valley Road will wind us along Passage Creek before rising to Edith’s Gap Lookout where you will see a stunning view of the valley towards Luray. A quick 90 degree turn at the base of the mountain, over the South Fork of the Shenandoah River, and we will arrive in Luray, Virginia. At this point, we will have a bite to eat in Luray before beginning our drive back to Haymarket. We will wind our way over the mountain and under Skyline Drive before cruising through the quaint town of Washington. We will continue traveling on some twisties until we reach our final destination of The Farm Brewery at Broad Run.
