Really any weekend is ok for me provided that it is on Sunday.

 

We're good for this weekend. If we have to reschedule so that more folks can make it, that's fine with us. We have a couple of weekends coming up in September that we're not in town, but other than that, we should be good for whatever date is good for everyone. We're anxious to join up with everyone, especially for this cruise. If the cruise goes as planned and we end up around Sharpsburg/Antietam, our house is about 5-10 minutes from there!

 

well guys, look i'm am still ready to go, even if only the four of us go this time. we can post pictures showing how much fun we had to persuade more people to go next time. lets still go fellas.

wing up, ready to roll.

We are solidly IN for this weekend. The next two weekends are not good for us. Hope we can do this Saturday!

 

i’m solidly in for this sat. the 12th also. actually 04fire and i are going to meet up tomorrow so that i can get an idea of what direction to go to get to sugarloaf so if anyone else wants to meet up for a city ride tomorrow let me or 04fire know lets get this sugarloaf thing done guys.

 

Here's the link for Sugarloaf Mountain. The site has directions to get there from a multitude of locations.

If everyone is still interested in cruising to Sharpsburg/Antietam, let me know. I can definitely get us there!

well redcross, me and 04fire are going to meet up today at 11:30. so i will find out we he gets to my house. if you have a phone number i can call you.

 

I was planning on meeting at the mountain at around 10 am but, if you want to make an entrance we could meet up at my house just 3 min. from the base of sugarloaf.

I'm trying to get the route that sennaspirit already made up... and will post it up here for all to see. Or I'll post the one I've made either way I'll have something up by to night.

 

I like the idea of making an entrance. We'll meet wherever folks would like to. Looking forward to it!

Guys, it looks like a lot of turns and such, but it's not hard to follow and a really nice run through the less populated parts of Mid Maryland...Particularly the parts out near Point of rocks to Sharpsburg. Not much to see in Burkittsville, but then again I didn't venture into the woods.

I'm out on Saturday, so I hope you all have good one.

Ok here's the pics from today starting at Sugarloaf-Antietam-Icecream, sorry for the pic quality.
Great day, great weather and great cars!

 

EXCELLENT!!!
Pics are great and I'm sure everyone that didn't go, wish they could have (I know we regret).
The weather was beautiful and a Red Roadster would have been a good Caboose to the Convoy!!
Next Time...
