Memorial day photo/video run

[cmcveay]

Brian0758 proposed a meet up this coming weekend.

 

Here's the idea:

Meet at Sheetz in Haymarket (15315 Washington Street, Haymarket) on Sunday at 9 a.m. Gas up, grab a cold drink and head west on Rte 55.

 

There will be several video cameras and still c

Sounds like fun! The weather on Sunday is supposed to be great, too! :top:

[RyanMBlue]

This may sounds stupid, but I was talking to my Mom and Step-Dad about their weekend plans, and they showed a bit of interest in coming with us in their Jeep and/or Harley. There isn't some unwritten rule about non-minis at these things, is there?

I was playing around with Mapquest and this is a route I came up with.

Looks like it could be fun, but you are going all the way around Skyline Dr. I haven't been to Skyline in a while, but I thought that was a pretty awesome road.

 

Since this run is a photo/video run and will be a lot more c

I've been on at least part of that route. 211 to Luray has some NICE twisties on it :top: But it seems that every time I've been through the stretch close to a Skyline Drive entrance, there's been a crotch rocket eat it in a corner. So it does bite back

Ryan - yeah, we all use the FRS/GMRS radios. The DCMM channels are 7/21. I've got a spare if anyone needs it.

 

For the "can't make it Sunday, Monday is good" crowd, I have nothing on my schedule and Lona is out of town for a few weeks so I'm willing t

Craig,

 

You beat me too it! I'm also willing to go out Monday!

This would be a cool photo op. Meem's bottom bridge, which is one of the few remaining covered bridges in Virginia. It is off of Route 11, 4 miles north of New Market on route 720.

I think :idea: I will go for a pre-run to verify the route is OK.

[Brian0758]

Lookin like a good route!

 

What are our plans for stopping for some form of lunch (if that is in the plan at all).

 

Anyone know of any good places along the route?

 

 

Depending on timing I was thinking either Brookside Rest
