Edge Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 It went very well! We had a fun day! Yes, it rained for part of it. We also saw snow on the ground (up on Mt. Weather), came across 8 (slow-moving) Priuses (Pri-i?) on the actual run route, and one hearse! In any case, no major drama - the route is the same, minus one very small adjustment that only chops off 0.3 miles. Looking forward to next Saturday! :motor: "Mr. OEM" - 05 JCW (TK, GPIC, SS, GPTA, R56 RSB, StBr, R56 BBK, GPWhls, SV, RS, R56 GSI, IES, StrWhl, GK, HG, LBIT) MCS, HB/HB, Packs: 1, 2, 3 & 4.

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Last year we motored to the tavern, had a nice lunch and motored back to the start location. I think the way back was a different route then the way there. I'm sure Haemish will pipe in soon, esp if I skimmed something and got a detail wrong :embarassed: Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndiCooper Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 ok,cause i went last year but i dont remember what we did after lunch?!:dontknow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I remember it well because it was Mark's first run and we were switching off driving. I remember it being different routes because we had different stops on the way there and back. Like on the way there we stopped at a grocery store, and on the way home we stopped at a Fire Station with General store. Does that help?

IndiCooper Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 O Ya I remember that now!! Duh!! :banghead:Ok I just need an estimated end time so I can figure out if I need to bail early or if I can stick it out to the end! :motor: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Ali is correct (nice job - you didn't skim! ). We aren't visiting a winery this year (again). I have been too busy this year, and just didn't have sufficient time to plan and roll in a winery stop. Next year I should have more time and I hope to make it part of the journey! Approximate times for Saturday: Depart Wegmans: 10:00am Arrive Griffin Tavern: 12:30pm Depart Griffin Tavern: 2:00pm Arrive Wegmans: 4:30pm Celia - if you have to bail early, you don't have to leave directly from lunch. Along the afternoon route, there are 3 "easy exits", to make it easy to bail from the run and head back. Here they are, and their distance along the run, from Griffin Tavern: Route 66 - 17.6 miles Route 50 - 25.9 miles Route 7 - 38.2 miles The complete afternoon run is 69.1 miles, bringing us back to Wegmans. The complete morning run is 67.9 miles. A grand total of 137 miles, if you do the entire thing.

IndiCooper Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Ok thanks I think it'll all just depend on how the timing works out but hopefully ill be able to stick it out:biggrin: I'm ok with skipping the vineyard again this year, I'm still under age!!:banghead: But I wont be next year!!!!!!! :cheers: :party: Edited April 6, 2011 by IndiCooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carman63 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Celia - I'll probably bail either after the fire station stop - if we have it - or somewhere in that vicinity. I live in that area, and could lead you along a few other twisties to get you to 287 - which turns into MD 17. From there you take 350 to 70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarsay Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 So I just realized that all my 2-way radios are back in Maine, does anyone have a spare they're willing to lend to me for the run? much appreciated!

Edge Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I'll be bringing a few extras, and many other people usually have an extra or two with them as well.
