2nd annual BeeRZ and BRZ's (and FRS')
 

So last year Phaedrus29 and I set up BeeRZ's and BRZ's...sadly not a single FRS showed up. Anyways, the point of it was to have a beautiful drive in scenic PA and NJ (believe it!). We'll start the drive at the far end of the parking lot where Triumph Brewery in New Hope, PA is located. After the drive, we'll come back Triumph brewery and grab some food and drinks.

Date: June 14th 2014

Time: Meet @ 1PM, leave by 2PM. We will leave earlier if we believe everyone is in attendance. Please PM me if you think you'll be much later than 1PM. Yes I said 1PM. Include your cell number.

Location: Rear of the parking lot at...

400 Union Square Drive
New Hope, PA (triumph brewery)

Info from the thread last year:
Alright everyone it's getting warm out again and Phaedrus29 and I had some talks about a meetup near New Hope, PA which would turn into an optional cruise (not heavy hooning) around a loop of River Road, PA Route 32 and then over the bridge to the opposite side, NJ Route 29. This will then end at the Triumph Brewery where we will get together for some food and drinks.


Attendee's

1. Laika (basically any date, prefer Saturday)
2. Phaedrus29

Please PM me or post here so I can add you to list. If you PM, feel free to exchange cell numbers. This makes it a lot easier day of the meet and drive if anyone gets lost.

Phaedrus29 and I have figured out the route we will be taking. It's a nice mix of sweepers, straights, and second gear corners. Most of all, it's a gorgeous, scenic drive. There's a couple brief moments where we need to drive through town but they shouldn't be to burdensome.

There will be a break at "Destination B", this is just a very small "park" that's mostly a parking lot but it has a nice view of the river. Good place for a photo op. We'll probably add a brief break to the NJ side too.

For the most part, this is really not an extreme drive. However, on the Jersey side of it, just after Carpentersville road there's a section of narrow roads with quick turns. It'll be a lot safer with a group and especially with a leader that knows where the road randomly turns and crosses over the parallel (yes, not perpendicular) railroad tracks. I definitely made the ABS work a bit while discovering this. Oh and on this narrow road there's several mini waterfalls on the drivers side. As I said, very scenic drive for PA/NJ.

What you need to bring:
1. Copilot (optional)
2. Snacks
3. WATER
4. Radios if you have them. We had a total of 4 FRS radios amongst us last year, helped a lot
5. A full tank of gas
6. Money for parking at Union Square (where Triumph is, 1.00 per hour). No need to pay when we just meet up. Only when we go in for dinner
7. Camera
8. Positive attitude. We WILL see traffic at some point. Don't worry about it, we can slow down to build a gap while we enjoy the scenery.

I may be in.

I'm in, but that Sunday (June 8th) works MUCH better for me.

Here's a link to our thread from last year with some pics if you want to take a look...and a 35 minute video of the drive that I spent hours editing but didn't edit down further or add music to: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...t=beerz&page=4

Looking forward to this fun cruise again!:drinking:

time to re-meet again!!! I am in.

Hmm.....I'd be in if we would just stay on the PA side.....

Same here, I am down. I replied on the FB page as well.

Why? Are you wanted in NJ or something? There are some real fun parts on the Jersey side, followed by some quicker driving back to New Hope.

Ah I'd love to go but my buddy's 21st birthday is that weekend T_T

I'll make it out one day Laika I promise!

This sounds fun... I'd add in the suggestion of traveling to the Victory Brewery in Downingtown PA (have to give this input, it's my hometown... and they have the best wings I've ever had).

Not sure if I'd be able to make it, leaving for vacation the following Monday. I'll keep an eye on the thread though!

i wish i could go, BUT thats the weekend of Wicked Big Meet, so expect a lot of subaru's to be there for that reason....

i may join

PA is just faaaar lol

Bwahaha I thought the exact same thing. X2 on Jersey side being fun. Less traffic as well. Just not as "pretty" as the PA side.

Please! Feel free to suggest other dates that work better for you!

I like to stay out of PRNJ at all cost, the reason why is not appropriate for this forum. :thumbup:

32 is just as pretty and curvy as 29, especially if you go all the way out to 611 towards Easton. Also a place call Indian Rock Inn on 32 has great food. Just a thought :)

Great to hear you may come!
Not so far!

Looks like fun. But trying to go to Wicked Big Meet the next day. So maybe another weekend. But if my plans for WBM don't work out I ll try.

Cmon, I'll go down with you

will let you know about a week before the event. i don't plan for more than that :D

How about June 14th?

6/15 is Father's day so i don't know on 6/14 because family wants to meet on 14th?
a week after 6/21 is Formula D so i need to go there. -_-;;

June 14th works for me. Or June 8th. I don't think I can do June 7th.

:party0030:


I'd really prefer it to be a Saturday but I'm a selfish asshole :D. I'll see you Friday for car-sitting!



K,

This is unacceptable. You need to ask yourself who is more important. Your family or some weird car guys from the internet? I will see you June 14th :burnrubber:

Saturdays I think I can do: May 24th, May 31st, June 14th, July 5th.

:eyebulge::eyebulge::eyebulge:
I will try..hahaha

I'd like to try and make it if possible. The June 7th date would generally work OK for me, but I'd probably have to skip out early due to family obligations that evening.

Just for the record, and as a reminder, not only is the following weekend (June 14/15) Father's Day, but it's also the Le Mans 24hrs. Maybe others don't really care but I'm a big motorsports fan and will be plastered in front of the TV for 24hrs straight, so that weekend is out for me either way.

That said, starting an hour earlier (or even two) would be a big help. :thanks:

I'm 100% on board with starting a couple hours earlier on June 14th. Anyone else?

Updated original post with set in stone date!

I'll most likely be there! I live in bucks county! Hopefully I'm not working that Sunday when the schedule comes out lol. And who doesn't enjoy beer!.

Do you work Saturdays? Updated the original post with date and time. Hopefully you can make it, I don't believe I've seen you around!

I work everyday but since I'll be Comming back from Dominican Republic June 2nd I probably won't be on the schedule either day that weekend! Thankfully! Yea I haven't been to any of the forum meets. Only local car shows and get together that friends have put together. I'm almost 100% I'll be able to make it!

im interstead in going im in rockland county have to see how long the drive is . is there a confirmed date yet ?

Yes sir! Date is in the original post.

I'd be interested, just moved back to PA this weekend. The trip to New Hope is fun. Plus I finally have something to show off aside from a clean, stock car.

3 more weeks! tell your friends.

I'm down for my first meet up! hope a lot of people show!

Im in for june 14 have to cut out of work early but ill be there !!!!!!:party0030:
i work from 6am -12pm so ill leave at 10 lol

So you guys are all coming from New York?

:burnrubber:

gotta see if i get the day off if so i am there!

Sweeeet! Lets make it a good run. I accidently ventured out on these roads the other week and they were in good shape from what I saw.

If I have me car back by than I'll be down
