TWR Night Drive - 18 August

A Mid Summer Night's Drive

You asked for one, so here it is. August brings the first ever TWR Night Drive. Join the hunt Saturday evening, August 18th, for A Mid Summer Night's Drive. We'll meet in Redmond and follow backroads to Monroe and beyond.

Note, this event will be held in addition to the regular Sunday Drive you've come to expect.

If you're one of the folks who've been asking for this, be sure to show up. I'll do more if there's attendance to justify it.

 

im coming to this one for sure!!!

 

I have to work the next day. So I do not know if I can do this.

 

I might make it to this one. Sounds like fun.

 

Ryan! Long time no see - hope you can make it this time! Abby too?

 

Oooh a night drive. I'll have to see if I can make it and meet everyone...or at least the ones that will be there.

 

Yes! Please do! We need more female drivers

 

Ill try to make a attempt to swing in. If I come along for the drive or just to say hi we shall see. I might be rolling a rental cause the 8 is getting my bumper fixed.

 

as of right now, I am going to go to this, but it may change. Kristopher are you going to put up a map, address or an intersection so I or any body not familiar with the area can use the nav system!!!

 

Yeah, that'll go up tonight. I've had business meetings all week. It's exciting, from a long term perspective, but I have to find a way to do that stuff without it getting in the way of my real responsibilities.

 

Well, I gues I am out!!! I had to work on this day. I will see you all in Sep!!!!

 

i am coming.
any further details of the meet ?

 

Sounds interesting. I'll try to swing by if I can.

 

Meeting in Redmond at the Bella Botega shopping center. Kitty Corner to Tullys, adjacent to both the Cinemas and Coho Cafe. We're rolling out at 11pm.

I've never done one at night, so we'll see how it goes.

 

Jen and I will be gone to San Fransisco this weekend so I'm out.

 

To everyone who's planning on being there, if you want a map (we do have map lights) please sign up at the-winding-road. I use that list to determine how many maps to print.

 

Kristopher - Ughhh... I'm not going to make it tonight afterall. There has been a flurry of activity over the sale of my boat and I am toast right now - really beat.... It would be dangerous for me to drive, let alone in the dark! Sorry to bag out at the last minute. I hope you guys have a blast - I'm sure you will!

 

sorry can't make it tonight.

 

I might stop by and say hi on my way out to meet some girls

edit* is anyone going?

 

Are the photos posted up yet?

That was a good drive for me, esp. since I don't go that crazy on public roads often. That and the darkness, rain, misting, low level of the HID cut off and most importantly the unfamiliarity of the bends (esp when they were blind and undulating in elevation) made for some pretty tense moments. That and I wouldn't want to drive off the road in such a far out rural area (BFE?) then coicidently some passerby offers a ride/tow assistance at 2am... classic premise for a horror movie?

Good fun. Thanks Kris and Zack for waiting up for me.

 

Pics will be up tonight. I was just to beat to bother opening the trunk yesterday. It was a great time, and with the turn-out, I think I'll do more of them.

I hope you had plenty of success with the boat, Linda. Too bad it got in the way of driving .

It's pretty well standard ops for the faster cars to slow down in the straights and give the back of the pack a chance to catch up. It's really the only way to roll with such diverse driving backgrounds.

 

Sorry, ISP trouble.

Considering it was dark, rainy, and The-Winding-Road had never done one of these before, I'd say we had a good turn-out. 8 cars showed, 5 made the drive, and 3 finished (2 bailed at Monroe). Pics are up at http://www.the-winding-road.com/modu...&orderby=dateA
