New Info Posted Check out the route on the second page. I am trying to scope out a Hill-climb section as well- should be fun.

We'll do this JULY 8th. CRUISE Meet at The Shops at Britton Lake on RT one in Chadds Ford. Heading south on RT one on the Corner at Britton Lake Rd, jsut before you get to RT 202. There is a Ruby's in the Parking Lot.

WE'll head out from there into Chester county on some nice Back Roads. We'll Cruise along the Brandywine then out ot Parksburg and back. I'll try to mark some of the trickier turns on the route with signage so that if we get split up you can find your way. Bring a nav if you have one!

There are a couple of Covered bridges and areas to stop along the Creek for a few nice car shots. We'll hop on RT 1 on the way back for a bit so you can open it up ( at your own judgement) I will try to post a route in the morning.

After we'll head to Duffer's Pub on Route one at Britton Lake Rd ( across the street diagonally form the Parking Lot with Ruby's.

Duffer's is a divey type bar with outside seating near RTs 202 and 1, They have BBQ food right and adult and not beverages. You can walk from the tables to the pretty large lot ( without Alcohol of course) so we can be near our cars to talk them up.

WE should be back from opening at 11 or 11:30 to like 2 pm so the whole day is not spent. It easy to get to from the blue route ( 6 miles from Media Exit,) Rt 30 and RT 1.

You can either join the cruise or just stop by at duffer's after.

Make a run out of the meet up

any suggestions for a run would be welcome. We can meet up early ( like 10 AM ( I would recommend Sunday then so traffic is light.)

WE can make a 1hr drive and head over to meet up at 11:-11:30.

I iwll try to get some suggested routes and post them up

So far the 8th looks good. Shooting for 10AM maybe-Start early and avoid some traffic. I am working on a route about 1 hr of driving through the brandywine valley, some covered bridges and whatnot, so there will be a few good spots for photogs...

Ending at the restaurant I am going to talk to them to see if we can "reserve" space out front up along route 1

It will be a low speed cruie most of the way. with all the developement out here there are not that many roads that don't have a stop sign or three on them.

well my SPG has developed an odd misfire (after we screwed with it) and I have not been able to track it down yet. I did hear it was suposed to be hot as hell this sunday, so I may bring the sunbird (as it has working A/C). the 9-5 is sitting in Plymouth, and I am in EP, so I am not getting that in time... oh well, won't be the first saab run it's been on ;) If it's not looking too terrebly hot I may ride with Paul H in the 99.
