NoVa Ride, Sunday 08/06
Who's in? Lost River Battle Stage or revisit the washed out route from last time? I also wouldn't mind revisiting the high speed sweeper route we took to White's Ferry. We could do the route below but start at White's Ferry and hit Point of Rocks Road to get to Harpers Ferry.
Meet Up Details
<FONT COLOR="blue">1:00pm</FONT> - My house if you know where I live.
<FONT COLOR="blue">1:30pm</FONT> - Exxon at Centergate Dr & Loudoun County Pky (20148) right by VA-267 (Greenway). This is the "hostage situation" gas station where the SWAT sniper took out the bad guy.

Re: (Mike C)
Enforcement is WAY up lately, just in case anybody hasn't noticed. A lot of folks, folks who aren't usually the ticketed type are getting hit lately for anything from registration to reckless driving. We need to take extra care on this ride not to make jackasses of ourselves. We're not usually the group that goes out and gets thrown in jail, but I'd rather not chance it, either way.
If you can't keep your wits about you and your dick in your pants then this isn't the ride for you.
Hope to see the usual good natured crew.

Re: (Mike C)
Ok, i'll stop being a bitch and post in the thread -
Route 9 and that whole area sucks on weekends, we ALWAYS get piled up behind a bunch of cars when we go out that way, and we did that route last time we went out.
I propose this road instead:
And come back on 211 --> 647 --> 55

If you are worried about enforcement and traffic, that's a much better route.

Enforcement has been pretty high on 211 and on 647 - the latter is the road we were tailed by a cop for 15 miles and went through a VSP speed trap in the middle of nowhere.

Wow. Never had the first problem anywhere, but maybe that's because I am old and slow.

From your house, we could take 50 to the plains road and out 55, i reckon between 1-1.5 hrs to front royal.

You're also not on a bike
Cops (and locals) out on 211 just dont want people on bikes up there. Makes sense, since too many people like to use 211 as their own personal racetrack and there's been quite a few wrecks and deaths on that road in the past few years.

Sounds like typical common sense enforcement to me, then. I think I'd still drive the road...carefully.

Thats what I did last time I went there - no problems. Even at the speed limit (55?) its still a blast.

not that it matters since i get the "you will never show" response.
if it was doable in the morning, then I would, but Chris is busy in the AM and Mike will need recoop time from the previous night.
