Please join us for a fall drive in the hills of Western MD, PA, and WV.

When: Saturday, October 6, 2007 - Departure time is 10:30am.

Start: Rocky Gap State Park, approx. 8 miles east of Cumberland. Take entrance to park from I-68, then into the first parking lot ON THE LEFT.

Route: We will start with a one-hour drive, including a quick run up Gilpin Road at Polish Mountain, site of this year's SCCA-sanctioned hillclimb, then on the backroads of Pennsylvania, north of Cumberland. Returning to Rocky Gap, we will take some photos at the lake, then eat lunch at the Lakeside Restaurant.

Following lunch, we will drive into Cumberland and on into West Virginia for a one-hour drive that includes over 15 miles of winding roads, ending with a drive up the Allegheny Front (think mini-Dragon !).

Following a short break on top, we'll decend the mountain and take a different set of roads back to Cumberland, with a stop for ice cream.

Bring: Full tank of gas, camera, radio (set to 7/21), and cash for lunch.

Event Fee: No fee for DCMM members. $5.00 per car for non-members. Pay at the event.

A PDF file with route details is attached.

Please RSVP on the calendar AND send a private message to CooperCops stating how many people will be in your car.

 

Count me in, the last one was simply great!!

 

We'll look forward to seeing you.

 

Just curious - this run is different than the "Almost Heaven" run, right? I've done the Hit the Hills before, but not Almost Heaven... wish I'd been able to make it to that last month.

 

Yes, this run is different from both the "Almost Heaven" and last year's Hit the Hills.

 

This is going to be great run, the weather will be nice and all the leaves up the mountain in October, Photo ops...photo ops.

Can't miss this one. Count me in.

 

this sounds good....

 

Hope you can make it.

 

We look forward to seeing you up this way. Be sure to RSVP and let me know how many.

 

I'll probably come out the day before...perhaps we can do dinner again?

 

Sounds good.

 

Just had a sneek peek at the next work schedule...and...I sure do hope that the fact that they have me off on the 6th stays that way!

 

Wow, looks like a good one, as soon as I have a solid schedule, I'll rsvp!!

 

Olga and I are definitely in! This looks fun .

 

Eventhought I have signed up for the event, I will ride with Pawel.

Olga

 

Counts us in.

 

By the way, did you guys check your calendar to make sure nobody is getting married or anything like that, that day..............

 

Boy, we'll never live that one down.

 

The Almost Heaven run was fantastic. No way am I missing this one! Already RSVP'd.

 

Darn. Worse than a wedding conflict even! This conflicts with the most important religous holiday of the year! The Annapolis Sail Boat Show. Thought I might make this one but, religous days of obligation must be met.

 

+1,

This will be a good run indeed.

 

Oh wow, this isn't too far from me! *ponderponder* I have lunch plans that day but let me see if I can change them. What's the drop dead RSVP date?

Anything a 'newbie' member should know about these drives?

 

You will be able to rsvp until the last minute.

Don't forget the 2-way radio, it is our communication device during runs.

 

I just rsvped. See everyone there.
