Eric's Riverrun 2010
 

Well if you went last year you know how much fun it is & if you didn't it's about time you have some fun too. :grin:

Eric's Riverrun 2010

SATURDAY, MAY 29, 2010

Eric’s Riverrun is a 320 mile, all-day driving tour using some of Ohio’s most interesting
and challenging roads. This year we’ll go southwest through West Union to Augusta on
the river. After lunch at one of the Augusta, KY restaurants (recommended), we’ll head
east along the river and wind through the wonderfully twisty roads in Shawnee State
Forest. SR 772 takes us to Chillicothe, then up SR 104 to Circleville for a finish at
Wittich’s.

Cars leave Bob Evans at I-71 and Stringtown Rd. in Grove City between 8 and 9 am. We
should be at the Ohio River around Noon and finish by 6 pm., depending on the time
spent sightseeing. There is no fixed schedule nor any assigned speeds, other than posted
speed limits. This is a tour rather than a rally. The route includes a mix of open and
flowing paved roads that connect tight and twisty sections.

The North American MGB Register, the Buckeye Miata Club, and the Central Ohio British
Car Club Council invite all driving enthusiasts, regardless of vehicle make, model, or type,
to join us on Eric’s Riverrun 2010. Check out the roads at: http://tinyurl.com/YAR9L8A

Contact Susan Logan at slogan.osu@gmail.com or (740) 363-2203 after April 1st for more
details and to reserve your spot. There is a $10 entry fee to cover organizational
expenses. The ferry from Higgensport to Augusta charges $5/car.

All profit will be donated in Eric Jones’ memory to
The James Cancer Hospital for Mesothelioma Research Fund.

Added it to the Mid-Ohio Motoring calendar

I plan on being there, this is a great event each year with lots of fun people and cars to watch driving some very fun roads and boats this year!

We'll be there!

We are planning on going. Does anyone have a suggestion for a hotel near Easton? Figure after a day of all driving of staying overnight, Spawn wants to hit Easton Mall on Sunday, "since we are going to be down there anyway". :cool:

there is a hampton right there to the north, which is probably a lot cheaper than the Hilton which is basically right in Easton.

then there is this up there too... sounds cheaper even

There is also a Residence Inn and Courtyard Mariott within walking distance of Easton...not sure if they are pricey either, but I would bet yes

We will be there! Might recruit some friends to join. I'm totally stoked about it. I'll be missing everyone when I'm gone in Michigan :cry: But I'll be sure to visit for the breakfasts.

Those are all good, I also like using Priceline (negotiator) I've got the app on my iPhone. LOL.
I've also been pleased with the "Microtel" near Marcus Theater. 23 & I-270.

For those of you going on Riverrun it is important that you send an e-mail to Susan Logan. We will only print enough routes for those who register.

Thanks! :grin:

As of last Saturday we have 37 cars of various types coming on Riverrun. :)

Crashton,Do you know if there is still room on the run.Doc

Sure there is room!:nod: Just send Susan Logan an e-mail letting her know you are coming. slogan.osu@gmail.com That way we can have enough route books for everyone. She is on holiday in the Netherlands so she may not respond back. Be assured if you want to come there is room.

Last year we had about 100 cars. Keep in mind this is a self guided tour so you won't be in a line of 100 cars. Most folks hook up with a few friends & run together with them. IMO this is the best way to do it. A lot of cars running together complicates matters.

Hope you can make it Doc. :thumbsup:

I have soccer in the early afternoon so I will not be doing Eric's Riverrun.

Sorry you can't make it. Have fun at the game. :)

As of this morning we have 68 cars. :grin:

Will be in Detroit. :sad:

We did the final checkout yesterday in a monsoon. All is well & this years tour should be a fine one. Hope the weather Gods smile on us.

Did you have a fun river crossing? I am soooo looking forward to next weekends trip!

I sure did! :grin: It's one of my favorite things going across old man river. :nod:

These ferries are real throwbacks to the past. I wonder how long they will continue to ply their trade.

Next time you do the SE Ohio ring cross from Fly to Sisterville. :thumbsup:

We won't be able to go. Spawn's rugby team made it to the tournament. We will be at Kent State next weekend.

Actually I don't have soccer that day. However, I made plans to go to the Columbus Beerfest with a friend that evening, so I still will not be going on Eric's Riverrun. I just took a look at all the photos Chuck took and it looks like a really nice trip. I'll have to make it someday.

You got it all wrong, you are allowed to drive then drink, just not the other way around.

Congrats to Spawn & her fellow Rugbians.:thumbsup: Good show, now go win it all!

Ben if you come on Riverrun I guarantee you will be very thirsty & ready for beerfest when you get home. :grin:

As of this evening we have 87 cars.

Any other classics? I don't even wanna TRY keeping up with the MCSs.

I will be there in my Mini. Good luck to the New Minis trying to keep up with me :)
