Alright guys, I'm trying to get a bunch of people together to make a run up to Hawk's Nest in Port Jervis, NY. I've been up there with the guys from the Porsche forum and it's one of the most amazing roads I've ever seen. I'd like to have as many G's as possible going up there and I'm also posting on the Z forums.

Meet Up - July 12th, 2015 @ 7:30 AM
AMC Lowe's Bay Terrace 6
Upper Level Bay Terrace Shopping Center
211-01 26th Ave
Bayside, NY 11360

If necessary, we'll have a second stop upstate to meet up with any guys in the upstate or jersey area that don't want to drive all the way down to meet us in Queens.

Here's the route we'll be taking:

It's a slightly longer route through upstate NY and route 6 as well as seven lakes drive which is a beautiful road. The trip should take about 2 hours and 15 minutes and we can stop for lunch up there if everyone wants to. (There's two burger places, one before Hawk's Nest and one after).

Once we drive Hawk's Nest on our way back toward home, we can all split up and get home whatever the quickest way is. I'm sure most of us have Nav or GPS on our phones that we can use (Waze is an excellent app for anybody that needs one)

I'd like to get a sign up list if possible, I'd rather not do it if it's only gonna be a couple cars. Just let me know if you're interested or if you need any more info.

In the case of rain, it will most likely be pushed back to the 19th, but everyone will be notified at least 5 days in advance.

Got about 4 people going so far!

Kinda interested in going. Where is the 2nd stop you mentioned for the Jersey guys?

Thirty_Seven

We have about 4 people from Jersey coming up so I'm looking for a nice big open parking lot somewhere north of the Bronx and right over the GW Bridge. I'll know an exact location by about Sunday. I'll post it here when I figure it out.

Here's the updated route with our second stop.

For those of you in Jersey, meet us at 9 AM at

Greenburgh Multiplex Cinemas
320 Saw Mill River Road
Elmsford, NY 10523

The reason I'm picking this spot is because you guys won't need to take the GW Bridge which would suck, you can go straight up north and cross over the Tappan Zee and meet us right there. If this doesn't work with anybody, let me know.

I've updated the route with some nicer roads, and the route has only been extended about 10 minutes.

So far we have about 10 people, so it's coming along nicely.

Darkside Mojo

Nice! count me in

Thirty_Seven

Sweet! You're our first 350 so far!

Damn I would go but I'm still away until that night. Have fun guys!

Darkside Mojo

WOW I'm honored!

I'd be in but I have to work

Hawks Nest was one of the best bike runs. Did they rebuild the diner after the fire?

Thirty_Seven

Sorry to hear that and thanks man!

Haha, hopefully a few more 350's show up and just haven't posted yet.

I don't think they did. I can't remember from the last time I was up there. I think we're gonna eat at Arlene and Tom's which is right before rt 97.


In other news, we're 2 days away. Weather looks good so I'm gonna go ahead and confirm everything. Got a bunch of members from the G and Z forums coming down. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone.

Just a few reminders:

-Gas up tomorrow or Sun. morning. It's a long drive.

-We're gonna follow the speed limit on the highways. 55-60 near the city and 60-65 once we're upstate. 10 sports cars in a row is a cops dream so let's not give anyone a reason to pull us all over.

-Once we get up to bear mountain and Hawk's nest, we can get into some spirited driving. Feel free to gain some distance from each other and go for a blast. If the road is busy, I may pull over and we could wait for it to clear out, there's nothing worse than driving 2 hours to be stuck behind a Prius.

I'll see everyone on Sunday!

The run was a lot of fun guys. Hope to do it again soon. Here's an album of pics from my camera:

Yes indeed! Had a great time! I'd be so down to do something like that again! and I definitely see the advantages of having a GoPro.......or somebody in the passenger seat to take pics.

Damn, I just brought this up to some friends to do this run. We are thinking about going in September. I am thinking about doing Port Jervis to Tusten on RT 97. Then there is another way back from Tusten to Port Jervis that looks like it could be a fun drive.
