Update Update, as of today we have 72 folks registered for Eric's Riverrun in all manner of cars. If you are coming please contact Susan Logan. It is important for us to know so we can plan on how many routes to print. Hope the weather God's smile on us. :fingerscrossed:
As of today we are at 81 participants. We will be able to make a nice donation to the James Cancer Hospital.
While I cannot be on this years River Run the James has been very helpful to me. I'd like to add The Climb the Stairs Pool proceeds of $30 please. I can do a PayPal transfer and cover the fees as well, just let me know where.
Just in from doing the final checkout drive of the Riverrun course with good friend Bill. The course is looking fine with not detours. Today was Porsche day, Saturday is Healey day for Bill & Not N MG for me. See you Saturday.
Our crack staff is working hard to have all route changes done by morning. Man it is like a Zoo here.
What a lovely day for a drive. I'd be fibbing if I said I wasn't envious of y'all out there having safe fun.
Had a great day out on the back roads, pulled in the old folks home at 6:10. Nathan I was thinking about you. You were missed. We are very lucky in Ohio to have great roads so close to home.
It was a great drive Chuck! Really appreciate the time you and Bill put into mapping it out. Allen and I skipped Wittich's and ended here...
Great, but long day today. First, we (me and PittMini) lost Stephen of Scots, in the first 10 minutes and never found him again. We waited! Sorry M8. Then Nick caught us, but we didn't wait for the long restroom line... and I did think he'd catch up with us... but we didn't see him again. Sorry Nick. Then we diverted to the return side of the route and pulled in to Moyers -- right ahead of Crashton et al!! Then we went to Maysville, KY and toured the National Underground Railroad Museum. Then on to family in Cincy and a tour of U.C. for Hannah of PittMini. Then dinner at a diner type place and then home. Got here at about 9. Thanks to Chuck and Bill for the routes. The part we saw was wonderful! So it was half of RiverRun and half free range touring. But it was FUN!!
Leaving earlier was nice since I was home by 4, but it did mean that we were through Augusta and past Moyer's shortly after 11:00. We ended up grabbing some fast food for lunch around 1 in Waverly.
Had a great drive with other Nathan. We made a wrong turn and never caught up to Carol and Pam. Met up with a great group of cars heading down to the river. After lunch we didn't see anyone until 104. Thanks Chuck and Bill.
We followed a Morgan and a Pontiac Solstice for a while, then broke with them about halfway to Augusta at a rest stop. Met up with a Triumph, a Classic, and a couple others at the ferry, then did not see a soul once we left Augusta. Though we did see a lot of cars queueing at the ferry and tried to make contact with our radio, but no one was listening. We got to the ice cream place around 4:40, and a couple of Miatas pulled in but that was it. It was still a fun drive though, even if sparsely populated from our point of view.
Thank you all for coming on Eric's Riverrun Great seeing all the folks at Eric's Riverrun, nice turn out of many different types of cars. I saw some folks at lunch & towed a lost Morgan to the end from Rearden. The poor lady co-driver had melted down. I felt so bad for her. On this day I like to drive by myself & enjoy a relaxing drive with Mrs. Honey. It is also the time I do exploring of new roads for future drives. Found some nice ones this year. When Susan lets me know how many cars & what donations came in I'll post that up here. All proceeds go to the James Cancer Hospital. Your day of back road driving was for a very good cause. Thank you all.
