cmcveay Posted May 22, 2013 Report Posted May 22, 2013 Seems there's more than enough interest in getting together a run this coming weekend so here it is. Let's meet at the same location we used last year in Lorton, off of Ox Road. Where: Sweet Frog 8971 Ox Rd, Lorton, VA 22079 When: Sunday, May 26th 10 a.m. We'll end up at a winery that's supposed to have BBQ, Cupcakes and some live music. The winery is only about 12 miles from the meeting point but what fun would that be! So, Lona has put together a couple of route options and I'll test fly them on Friday. Looks like it'll be about 20 miles and it should take roughly 40 minutes for the drive. That means you can be back home at a very, very reasonable time of day! Here's a link to the winery: http://www.paradisespringswinery.com/ The winery allows pets (outside only) and children. They have lots of picnic tables and have no issues with you bringing your own food. I'm planning on a stop at the deli or the sub shop where we are meeting up. This will be a destination event so you are free to come and go as you please once we've reached the distant end. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

Stephatron Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 So I have a friend who works at Paradise Springs. I can see if a) he is working and b) can make special arrangements for the club.

cmcveay Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Posted May 24, 2013 Just got in from pre-driving the route and running errands. The route is awesome with lots of great twisty roads and it's really, really pretty out there (even on this blustery overcast day). One thing in the interest of full disclosure though! The route does have about a mile of gravel road. If that's a show stopper, it's okay because we can let the "paved roads only" crowd know where to turn so you can arrive ahead of us and not have to worry about the unpaved part. I'll post a video in a bit that really shows why we pre-run routes. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

1975_mini Posted May 25, 2013 Report Posted May 25, 2013 torn between coming to the run in the PMoA loaner countryman or taking Watson to a local little car show.:hmmmm: 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels
Poison Ivy Posted May 25, 2013 Report Posted May 25, 2013 Loaner countryman, I did that for the spring fling.
1975_mini Posted May 26, 2013 Report Posted May 26, 2013 just washer the countryman, don't want to show up with a dirty car even if its a loaner. After cleaning it, I really wanted to grab one of the cans of black PD and black out the headlight rings, it would look so much better. I wonder in the dealership would even notice when I gave it back :questionmark: 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted May 26, 2013 Report Posted May 26, 2013 Thanks Craig and Lona for setting up such a nice run. It was fun and twisty and it was quick. The winery was a lot of fun and the food was good. After we left Mark and I had to go to my mother's so take pictures of her house for the realtor. On the way we ran into Pete at an intersection, he lives in my Mom's neighborhood, so we stalked him home and stopped over to say hi. Got to meet his wife and kids and figured out why he looks so familiar, they go to our church and had been to my blood drive. What an awesome way to start the day!!! :congrats::congrats::congrats::congrats: Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
cmcveay Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Posted May 27, 2013 Thanks for coming out everyone, that really was fun. We had a fun little run back to Ox Road and even managed to find a few more new and exciting twisties on the way! 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
