Hey everyone,

Since some people couldn't make it to We All Scream For Ice Cream v.1 due to conflicting activities, I'm gonna re-run this again.

After some feedback from the first Guinea pigs, it was decided that v.1 may have been a little too long. I'll be working in the next couple of weeks to trim some excess fat from the route (but not the ice cream ). I'm also gonna look into the possibility of changing out some roads or reversing direction of others to change it up for the veterans.

The first run worked very good due to the small group size. I'm recruiting some help on this run so that we may have a couple of groups instead of one large conga line negotiating the twisties and dealing with traffic.

Same as last time, we will meet at 10:00AM upstairs at Wegman's in Hunt Valley, Shawan Road exit off I-83N.

Run length: 150.5 miles.

The run will start in northern Baltimore County. From there, it will go around Harford County, across the Susquehanna River to Cecil County and back through Harford County ending up at Broom's Blooms Dairy near Belair.

Sorry for fans of Pennsylvania asphalt, but the little sprint over the state line didn't make the cut for the second version of the run.

The run, like most of mine, is a comprised mostly of back-country roads with lots of elevation changes and twists

Sign Me Up!

 

Sounds like fun. I will see if I can clear my schedule for the run.

 

I'll pencil this in. Should I go to the page/thread from the first run to get the necessary info?

 

Just stay tuned to this thread.
After I make some (significant) route changes, I'll post the details here.

 

Just updated and added some info in the first post.

 

BTT

 

Bev and I are looking forward to attending this run since we missed the last one!....and Bill's run prior to that........and the one prior to that.

Can't wait!

Glenn

 

Ditto.

I've joint only some tiny parts of the run before. This time, will join for the rest of the good parts......., and icecream.

 

Sorry I can't make it, I volunteered to help out at a charity walk. I hope I can make it to the next one.

Nice play on words with the date in the thread title... I thought it was a typo at first.

I'd like to make this run, and I'll definitely try... but the jury is still out for now!

 

Doesn't look like we are going to be able to make it to IBICR II after all.

Everybody have fun!

Tom, Carol and Cecilia,

Sorry that y'all can't make it.

Don't worry though, I'm sure we'll have other runs around here in the future.

 

Just wanted to say that I am still looking forward to my second run. I'm a little worried: does the size of the group affect the definition of "slow"?

I did something really stupid this weekend (it involves backing down the driveway with a very large dog in the backseat...and, oh, yeah, there was a concrete curb. Not sure how I forgot it was there.). The up side? I'll be driving on new back tires!

Looking forward to seeing everyone I met on the cherry picking run and meeting others.

 

Smaller groups usually do equal more spirited driving.
Fewer cars means that there is less time spent regrouping or waiting at traffic lights.

The pace is regulated by my rear view mirror though. If I notice cars keep disappearing, we'll slow down to a more leisurely pace.

Having said that, this run isn't really about driving fast. The fun part is negotiating the tight turns, twisties and hills.

Don't worry, you survived Maxicooper's run. You'll do fine on this one.

 

I will be there, looking forward to it having missed the last run, see you then.

 

Don't let anyone ever tell you that organizing a run is easy.

I just got back from Broom's Blooms Dairy.
Had to make sure that the ice cream was still up to standard.
The pineapple coconut passed with flying colors.

Same with Tuesday night's Mocha Chip

and Mango

and Green Tea Mango

and Caramel Cashew

and Cranberry Walnut

and Strawberry

and Key Lime Pie

and Red Raspberry

and Mint Chocolate Chip

Afterward, I ran part of the last hour of the route just to be sure that, you know, the roads were still there and none of the curves were missing.

Yeah, the things I do for my fellow members.

 

Yeah, 3 days to go. Please don't forget to have your name on the participants list of this great run.

Let's see... 72.6 miles from my house to the meeting point... 150.5 miles on the run... and 82.9 miles back home from Bel Air...

That's a 306 mile day - effectively a full tank in the Z4!

I may be crazy... but I'll still try to make it - the sweeper's sweeper again!

 

That's the spirit Haemish!

Drive like gas is $2.00 a gallon!

 

Unbelievable -- the selflessness, the sacrifice. Wow!!!

I'm nursing a cold and was just sitting here weighing the pro's and cons of going to the gym. Ok, maybe just trying to convince myself there are pro's. After reading that post, I think I have no choice! I think I gained a pound and a half just reading.

P.S. I've been in training myself all week -- Safeway brand Alaskan Classics - Extreme Moose Tracks. Can't wait to try Broom's.

P.P.S. Still with the Z4?!?

 

Sorry folks, can't make it. Have a great time everyone!!

 

Yummm, I'll be thinking of you all tomorrow wishing I were there to have some of that Ice Cream!!! I hope to make it next time Have fun!

 

Will Be There... Just got finished washing IndiBlue...

 

Is there a map online?

 

We'll be there. Maxi do you think we could borrow a radio???
Thanks,
Vic & Mike
