Hmm i might come, it's a 3 hour drive for me to the start point according to mapquest. Looks like it would be worth it though.

Is there an end location so I would be able to print out some directions back home? lol

Ok I did manage to get a very few pictures. They turned out a little better then I had imagined.. These should give you the general idea.. but these do not show the sharpest inclines and turns.. just a sample of some of the roads


1. See that arrow back there.. its a sharp left uphill turn..



2. Down and around the bend..


3. Nice cambered turn eh??

hhmm... that actually looks familiar, i think i may have driven on this road... after that first pic is there like a straight followed by a hairpin turn with a big drop on your left?

There are several like that yes.. This was going the opposite direction so it was an uphill turn. You very well may have driven this road before..

Aww man, I was seriously thinking about making the trip but for only 20 minutes it doesn't seem worth it.

Please tell me you are joking..

We just end up down the road from where we started but the way we get there takes several hours including a lunch stop etc..

It lets out where the group first meets up. If you just run the entire Route 125 from Shamokin all the way till 125 ends (somewhere around I-78) it’s a 40 minute run. It goes by in a flash.

And that’s just 125… “Cloud IX” is also checking out other routes.

Don’t worry… it’s worth it.

CHANGE OF PLANS as of Saturdays prerun!!!

We were going to do the pack your lunch thing but try after try has produced exactly ZERO places we could pull over and have lunch. The only choice was a resturant or an empty parking lot without a bathroom etc. I decided a sit down meal was the better choice.



So with that said.. I have secured a sports bar type place to grab a quick burger etc. I DO NOT ENCOURAGE DRINKING ON THIS RUN... So please
BRING CASH to make splitting bills easier etc.. I do not expect the average meal to be more then 12.00 including tip but that all depends on what you order... PM me with any questions.

I cannot make this run now, I am stuck with a schedule conflict. Robert Fuller from Robispec is coming in from the West coast to do suspension tuning to a group of cars. I am one of the group and it happens to fall on the day that we are supposed to run. Well, I am getting done on Friday the 12th, but I am doing a track day at Beaverrun on the 13th. It is the Redline time attack, search it on here or google. There is a test and tune on Sat (thats why I willl be there) and time attack on Sunday (race). Hope everyone has a goodtime and is safe. I will make the next one.
