I'll be making that trip the weekend before for a music festival. 250 from Staunton back to 28 is a great drive. Saw a ZR1 on it last year.

[Senor_Taylor]

Hopefully we'll get someone who's driven it before to come along. I'm sure as hell not leading my Miata.

Depends on if I'm in training for work or not...

Theres another road you can take just before you get to Monterey that I recommend. Its got some nice up and downs, small country road unmarked, lots of left and right and it runs right back up to 33 and is a little shorter but just as fun. It runs up to Brandywine instead of Franklin. No chance in hell for police either. Source: my field trips for geology.. let me see if i can map it out and link it like you did.

Okay I don't know how to get it to make a loop like you did, but if you look at the one you linked you'll see Route 614 off 250, you take that north up to sugar grove keep right when you hit the only fork you'll see, go past the military base, and you'll hit 33 @ brandywine, go right and come back into town over our regular 33 cruise. I think that would be less boring than the near straight road you already mapped out

I will be completely down to drive, IF I don't have workshop stuff going on!

ALSO: Goad we're changing it up a bit, I love 33 as much as the next guy, but every time? Lol

Those are both awesome loops. If you go with the 614 one you miss some great mountain sections right out of Monterey. Be watchful on this cruise for police. Monterey is notorious. Have radios and communicate or something. Because the roads are totally worth it to properly "enjoy." "Headwaters" is where the cops got the group of supercars from Nova last yearish.

Fantastic loop. I was the old fart that lead the one other time it was done. Plan 3 hours or so plus photo ops and ice cream stops. Super fond memory. Be safe!

[Senor_Taylor]

I copied your link from last time, but I don't know your real name, so I wasn't sure how to credit you without looking like a noob.

[Jake]

That there be Pete.

[Senor_Taylor]

Yar. Thanks me matey.

[Senor_Taylor]

Updated the OP with current members going, date, and location.

[Tyler.M]

I'll be there. Riding or driving... not sure yet. depends on the weather.

Somewhere right around this area I've seen a state cop two days in a row. Comfy in his little hidden hole just waiting for someone minding their own business. So take it easy slightly before here and at least until 629/strait creek rd.

Cruise went well. Who said it didn't? Nope. Nothing went wrong at all. No worries. Uh-uh.
