Default Update

Hey guys,

Just wanted to give you guys an update:

We are currently working on what will be an incredible route for everyone. All I know for sure at this point is that we will be meeting at the Palisades Parkway commuter lot gas station by exit 5. For you guys that were there, this is the same spot we met for the Memorial Day run.

Will keep you guys updated with more development soon. Pray for good weather!

Thanks for your patience!

Any chance for directions from the Tappan Zee Bridge or an exact address? Thanks Arrwin, really looking forward to the meet and drive.

Hi there,

Is this a 993 only event? Any room for older years?

Best,

Rshanholtz,

Once you cross the TZ from Westchester into Rockland, stay on the Thruway for approx. 5 more minutes and Take the Palisades Parkway South (you'll see the big mall on the left hand side, and the exit is about another mile past that (I think it's exit 13-S, but not 100% on that). Stay on the Palisades South about 6 or 7 minutes and just by exit 5 (can't remember if it's just before or after the exit), you'll see signs for a rest-stop/gas station. That is the meeting place. Make sure you exit on from left lane as the station is accessible from both sides of the palisades (it sits in the middle). You'll see the lot once you pull into the station.

I know it's a bit detailed, but at least you won't be confused!

Jon
