GreenCactus Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 Twisties and Beer Run (Not at the same time!!) When and Where: 10:00am - Meet at Starbucks @ 19724 Germantown Rd, Germantown, MD 20874 10:15am - Driver's Meeting 10:30am - Depart for Rocky Point Creamery *Please note the time change to a 10:30am departure!! It is difficult to see the Starbucks from the road. If you are at the intersection of Germantown Road and Middlebrook Rd, there is a FedEx Office on the corner. That is the shopping center it is in. There is also a Safeway that shares the parking lot with Starbucks. 11:30am - Arrival at Rocky Point Creamery - 4323 Tuscarora Rd, Tuscarora MD, 21790 12:00pm* - Depart for Cuginis - 19616 Fisher Ave, Poolesville, MD 20837 *Departure time is approximate and flexible! The total mileage for the run is about 65 miles. Each segment will take around an hour. Please don't forget to bring your two-way radios. I have extras if you need to borrow one.

GreenCactus Posted June 1, 2016 Author Report Posted June 1, 2016 Is 6-12 set in stone? I'm already registered for BMW Autocross at FedEx Field that day No, but it's the only day I'm available to do this for quite awhile.

MELO-R56 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Posted June 3, 2016 Would like to go. Most likely would bring my kids. If doing a brewery, the kids and I would skip that part, just wait outside. We'd be coming from VA, and would really like to do Whites Ferry. Kids would really dig it! :top: 2009 Mellow Yellow MCS, JCW Aero Package, JCW intake, JCW Steering Wheel, NM Engineering strut tower brace, Nvidia Q300 Cat Back Exhaust, ST XTA Coilovers, Madness Motorworks 22mm Adjustable Rear Sway Bar, GP2 Rear Diffuser, Powerflex front control arm bushings, R112 Black Challenge Wheels, Bridgestone Potenza Tires

MELO-R56 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Posted June 3, 2016 SHADOW Looking at the map and the route, the Ferry makes the most sense on the way back to VA Since we'll be close by in Poolesville for lunch. I'm just going to roll up 270 to Starbucks in Germantown for the start. I'm starting in Herndon where I live if you want to MINI-VAN up to G-town in the morning.

Only 8 bucks round trip. And the back roads between Poolesville and Germantown are awesome.

I'm definitely interested, in either or both directions. Meeting in Leesburg at 8:15, would we make it to Germantown by 9:45? Or would we concurrently run a different route and end up meeting at Cuginis? -Chris

I'm also flexible, so I'm not going to leave without anyone. We aren't on a tight timeline.

I'm in no way intending to take away from Laura's run. This is intended to be a fun route drive to get to the start of Laura's run. You may do whatever you wish. I just thought it might be fun for the VA people to go together. And yes, if we leave by 8:30, we will be in Germantown by 9:45 Grey Goose: 2016 F56 Moonwalk Grey JCW - TTFS/GTPeace Custom Stage 1 (Present) Shadow: 2011 R56 HT MB/MB - MANIC Stage 1 (Past)
