Almost time to lock this down. Any suggestions or requests for this year?

I will look at the dates and get something posted. It seems like the standard route we took last year is perfect. Unless people want to mix it up and make a run around Essex?

Here's the route I'd like to take:

110 Republic Dr, North Haven, CT 06473 to Republic Dr - Google Maps

We would have 3 meeting points (1 at our shop, 1 at Danbury Fair Mall Parking Lot, 1 at Bear Mountain State Park) You can meet up at any of them and take off when you like.

We just have to coordinate who is going to leave at what point. I can make vinyl stickers for everyone to put on their car with the letter of the last stop they are going to?

Think the Sept date affords more daylight and warmer temps. Let's lock in Sept and run the bear mt option ok?

I may need a ride though... Unless we can build something in 2 weeks?

Sorry, have to use the October date for a few guys. I will start a new thread with all the concrete details very soon. I also thought it was too short notice for the September dates...

Hope to get a nice turnout this year to keep the tradition going.

We had a great time last year and would love to go this year no matter what the date or route is pending that I have my car back in time for the ride that is. Fingers are still crossed!

Default Newburgh

Jay,
When you go thru Newburgh (after New Windsor), go down along the river, much nicer than thru the center of town, there are also some nice restaurants along the river there,

Concern was a lot of traffic lights? Isn't 9W a quicker shot? I know the road you mean, it's only stop signs or ???

it's only a few stop signs and then puts you back out right at I84, the center of town is full of road construction. I was there Sat at West Pt for the football game.
