This is proving to take much longer than expected, I can usually rack up 1k+ miles in 1 to 2 weeks (tops) with extended drives but I haven't been able to drive as much as I would like to. Nearly a month into ownership and I'm only 2/3rds of the way done...unacceptable!
Since the weather will cooperate this weekend and I'm anxious to put on some miles...why not plan a drive and invite some other Z enthusiasts. I propose an upstate drive either Sat or Sun depending on which gets the popular vote. We can hit the Bear Mountain area and possibly further north if time permits. I'm pretty familiar with the roads in that area since I go up there often on my bike during the spring/summer seasons.
My vote would be for Sat since I have some things going on Sunday afternoon (Easter) and would have to make that run short. Post up if you're interested in going on this kind of drive AND what day would work better for you.

Alright folks...looks like Saturday will be the day for this drive. I'm pretty sure most people have things to do with family on Sunday so Saturday would be the most flexible (as far as time is concerned) for most of us anyway.
As mentioned before this drive will run through the Bear Mountain area which has some pretty nice roads and views. With perfect weather in the forecast for Saturday, this run will be all the more worthwhile. I have also picked out a Friday's toward the end of the run so we can relax and grab some grub before heading home. This drive will take about 4hrs + midway stretch at BM Overlook (15-30mins) + lunch at the end. The drive is long enough to enjoy some nice roads without feeling like it was over too soon at the end AND short enough to be able to have the rest of the afternoon to yourselves.
I figured this would be a good opportunity to not only put some much needed miles on the Z but to meet some faces behind the screen names. The actual route details will be discussed/handed out Saturday morning. The meet details for Saturday morning are listed below;
TIME: 7:30AM ... roll out by 8:00AM
LOCATION:
Parking lot area
Behind Duane Reade
(entrance for lot is the same for Friday's/Dunkin Donuts, etc.)
1780 East Gun Hill Road
Bronx, NY 10469
Add your name to the list if you plan on attending so that I have an idea of how many to expect, i.e. wait for.
