I think meeting somewhere is a great idea. That'd be really neat to have us all drive in the island at the same time. There is a Park and Ride right off I-64 and Gaskins Rd. (I can get the exit number tomorrow and post it) From there we could drive through the city and to the island. I'd be happy to lead everyone to the island, taking the scenic route through downtown, not to mention turning heads as we roll through.

Anyone heard about the 6 from Dynamic Racing Concepts?

Is that the same park and ride we met at last year? It was like, right across the street from the Microtel...

Can't wait to see everyone!!!....

Time??

I'm thinking 7ish, so we can be on the island by 8 a.m.

Also, those with CB's and FSR's.. we hang on CH.4 on both.....

I spoke with Jason (XTERRABLU) yesterday, and unfortunately, he will not be able to make this trip.

I'll be there. So will a couple guys from Long Island. In fact, I am aware of several people not on the list a few posts above this one.

Still debating whether to meet up with all of you at the park and ride, or at the entrance to Brown's Island. I'll be coming from the north via I-95/I-64. Is it feasible to try to get to the park and ride? I'm completely foreign to Richmond.

Can someone (Steve?) that is familiar with the park and ride look it up on mapquest and then post the mapquest URL for the rest of us?

If you know who they are, please add there names to the list or have them hit us up on the ENCXC message board. Want to make sure we have a good head count.

Here is the park and ride I mentioned. It's west of the city. Those coming in from the south and east would have to come around the city, and those coming from the north and west would hit it on the way in.

(You'll have to copy and paste this link into a browser since it's so long.) It's off of Gaskins Road and Mayland Drive off I-64

I don't think that is the one we met at last year. The one we met at was on the east side of town near the airport.

We need more trucks to beat the old record!!!!

I saw the email... I'll just answer in the thread - I'm going down Friday now. I went ahead and got a hotel room at the Microtel - just easier that way. Plus I have Friday off now...

I'm going to try to get out of Manassas by 2:00PM on Friday to try to get ahead of traffic. If I get the truck clean and the oil changed ahead of Friday I may head down earlier in the morning and just do some exploring in the Richmond area on Friday.

I'll be showing up at the park and ride that Hokie X listed above. If all goes as planned I should be there between 7:30 and 8.

What time is the group heading out from there?

We should probably leave the P&R around 8am so that we can get to the island and get set up.

We have to be on the island by 8 a.m. Would suggest 7 - 7:30. To make sure we make it thru town.

Doug, they are meeting at a different P & R then us.

Ah, ok.... was confused there. Wasn't sure if we were gonna meet them over there or not. Was also thinking we had to be there at 9 instead of 8... glad you chimed in on that one.

Now I am confused.

Hokie X - I was planning on meeting at the park and ride that you posted directions for. The one right off of I-64. Is this correct???

Sounds to me like there is two groups. One is staying at the Microtel near the Airport which is on the EAST side of town. There is a park and ride across the street from the hotel, this is where we met last year. The other group is meeting on the west side of town which the directions were posted for.

Ollie is right,
There are indeed two park and rides, one off of
I64 west @ Gaskins Road Exit and the other off of I64 east @ Airport Drive by the Microtel.
Here is a link to the directions. http://www.brownsisland.com/directions.htm

I'd like to meet on the west side, at Gaskins Road.

Who else will be there?
