I'll be going to the Baltimore Grand Prix that weekend. Sounds like a fun drive.

i just did a dry run today... nice drive.
the park charged $15 for entry - which allows you to go back for 7 days. how would August 13th work for everyone? If not then, i will have to wait until the 3rd or 10th. It would be cool to get the highest attendance - so lets try to get a consensus. The segment from Rt7 down to Rt 50 was fantastic. I found a great little scenic byway down to Rt17. The ride on Skyline was a blast, and very fun on 211 down to sperryville, although i got stuck behind people in the curves... I am thinking it would be best to get to sperryville, then turn around and do skyline drive the other direction, since it is so much better than Rt211. anyhow - let's please settle on the right weekend, and I'll keep scouting

I reposted the route above. (Anyone else having trouble with the link?)
based on todays dry run, the idea is to go down the mountains to Front Royal, then south on the Skyline Drive until 211 then turn around at sperryville and go back north along skyline drive again. then cut back up to leesburg. Last edited by RandyD; 07-24-2011 at 10:49 PM. |
