Standby list updated, as appropriate....see Post #81.

Your latest post was a good reminder to check with my friend with the Turbo S again -- he's unfortunately unable to make it... So another spot frees up! I'm still good to go and looking forward to it. Cheers.

VGM911

Thanks for the update. Post #81 now reflects this change.

COVERED BRIDGE UPDATE
Scheduled date: Saturday, May 20th

Rain date: Sunday, May 21st.

Of Pennsylvania's 219 covered bridges (more than any other state), Bucks County has 12 of them (more than any other county in Pennsylvania). I envision a small group of Porsches making a trip to Bucks County to visit several of these 19th century bridges, leaving from historic Washington Crossing, PA. Although preference is being given to Porsches for this event, there may be room for other marques as well if space is available; however, given the nature of the roads we'll be on, our goal is to keep the group small and manageable in size.

While details are still being finalized, we will likely assemble at 7:30 a.m. in Washington Crossing and depart at 8:00 a.m. We are planning to have breakfast (or brunch) at the conclusion of the drive.

If you want to be included on the WAITING LIST, please confirm:
1) your interest in being included on that list;
2) whether you'd have a passenger; and
3) if you would be staying for breakfast/brunch.

I think we would all benefit if we had another volunteer driver (with navigator) who is familiar with upper Bucks County and who would serve as a group leader, or as a sweeper car (even if driving alone). Maps and route instructions will be available for your use.

Please post the exact meeting place with an address.

Thank You

VGM911

We'll provide all the details after we test-run the route this coming Mother's Day weekend, including the place where we'll be having breakfast/brunch.

For now, let's just say that the departure point is in "downtown" Washington Crossing, PA.


P.S. Glad you're coming!

VGM911

Today, I put the finishing touches on the instruction/route sheet that will be provided to all participants. I'll be testing/checking it this weekend with spiderv6. I think it's very well done, if I say so myself.

Great time today even with a little drizzle. It was nice meeting you all. Here are some pictures to enjoy. Thanks VGM911 for planning the event.

It was great to meet everyone today. Thanks to VGM911 for the impeccable organization and well curated route. A bit unlucky on the weather but I really did not mind a bit of slippery here and there.
