Mid-Atlantic Cruise: The Frederick to Towson Mega-Cruise

b1adesofcha0s · 07-16-2011, 05:56 PM

Cruise was amazing, sooooo much fun

Definitely need to do it again once I get new tires. Mega cruise was a nice idea, but there was a lot of fluff in the middle. I think next time we should just stick to Pretty Boy reservoir since that is always the most fun. Maybe we can multiple laps of it instead of going through just once? We could make it our own public road course

Now of course is the time where we need

I've got 4 pics, but 3 of them are of Al's 40th Z, lol. I will post once I get home from work. I actually worked a bit of both my jobs after leaving the cruise

Oh yeah, HUGE thanks to Al for organizing and leading this cruise. You did an awesome job and there's no way we're letting you retire from your Cruise Leader position

I agree, thx Al for such a fantastic job today; the cruise was amazing and talking to the crew was a lot of fun. I will post up some pics when I get away from the family

Well done AL. the Fredrick section was exceptional...

I had great fun getting everyone lost on the way to Harry Grove stadium. I hope everyone enjoyed their tour of historic Fredrick...

I want to thank Ryan (ZOLE) a lot for helping us out with his experience in the Hampstead area. That really helped us big time.

It was a good time. Of course, Google Maps diverted our course so we had to skip Loch Raven Drive, but if you guys get time and want to check that one out on your own, it's a great road. You should go on a week night, because parts of the road are closed on Weekends.

I think the radios and directions helped. We didn't lose anyone during the cruise. We unfortunately left Chris out a little, and I feel bad about that, but at least he caught up with us at Hooters.

Thanks everyone for coming along

And a big thanks to our photographers today!!!

Big thanks to Al for organizing the cruise. It was a lot of fun. It was nice meeting everyone. We gotta do another one before the summer is over.

Looking forward to the pics.

b1adesofcha0s · 07-17-2011, 12:44 AM

Yo Al, next time you head up to Loch Raven Dr or Pretty Boy again, let me know so I can go with you

Today really was a day of Fast & Furious driving for me. Just got home from work and on the way here I found out that my Z gets to 135 mph pretty quickly

birdmanx1 · 07-17-2011, 01:37 AM

Guys, once again it was very fun taking the long cruise with you yesterday. I'm glad that there was no incident with the police other than:
** The few douche-bags blowing smoke

** The yellow jeep that always wiped out trying to keep up with us while taking curves
** B1ades almost close call

I apologize for the numerous pics in advance, I also added them to my ALBUM. Enjoy these teasers, the photographers have a few more interesting ones that I will make sure to share with all on Flickr

Nice pic's

ZCarMan · 07-17-2011, 06:55 AM

Nice pics! Great turnout and it looks like a great time was had by all.

Roadster4Us · 07-17-2011, 07:51 AM

Great pics, thanks for sharing.

RandyD · 07-17-2011, 08:03 AM

these pics are great, thanks!. I know you showed great restraint in your selections - because the BEST ones (with that white car) are hardly represented.

b1adesofcha0s · 07-17-2011, 11:00 AM

Awesome pics, thanks to the guys for risking their lives to take them

Also I'll try to get more than 3 hrs of sleep next time so the invisible truck incident doesn't happen again

RandyD · 07-17-2011, 11:11 AM

also, let's not forget the poor old lady who got passed by 12 cars at once... she didn't know what was happening...

ZOLE · 07-17-2011, 11:14 AM

Had a tremendously great time yesterday with everyone! Pics came out great, can't wait to see some more.

Big props to Al for making this happen. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we all truly appreciate the effort he has put into these cruises.
