South Eastern members heading to VA meet in May.

[Ryans323i]

Let's get an idea of who's traveling to the Mafia meet @ Dane's house in May, and what routes we're taking. BMWs like to travel in packs!

Roughly I'll be leaving Friday, May 18th, morning taking I-40 East to I-85 North.

85 North seems to be last leg most of us South Easterners will be using to get to Dane's. Maybe we can schedule a major caravan.

[cakM3]

Should be a sight with Lucy in the pack :) Maybe Dave can stop over to help with additional elbow grease...:p

[Stu]

I'm absolutely down for a major caravan!

[Ryans323i]

Great!

[Mtnman]

There is no way Ryan is letting me leave Asheville by myself, so i guess I'll be checkin out Lucy's ass all the way to Danes!

[Ryans323i]

Well it really is a nice ass. But we really don't have to caravan if you don't want. However you will be attending the meet, period. :)

[Mtnman]

Im just kidding. Ill caravan down with you.....and yes, it is a nice ass (as long as you get that overspray off of her)!

[Ryans323i]

:facepalm Don't remind me.

Ryan,

I have faith that you will get all that overspray off of Lucy in time for the annual reunion :)

[Ryans323i]

Me too, but still :facepalm lol

[yousharenow]

I'm coming out of Atlanta, and I'm totally down!

[Ryans323i]

Awesome. Once we get closer we'll start nailing down times/schedules.

[Johnny330zhp]

im gonna have to get with all the Jersey folk to hit the highways hard

[elric]

Will be coming up I-95 from Fayetteville,NC ..... hope to be able to meet up around Richmond.

[Ryans323i]

^^Might be better to get with us in Petersburg, Va. Either way, that will be awesome. Hope we all can get our times scheduled together.

[cakM3]

Ryan,

I'm thinking that my group will be hitting Richmond sometime around 1200, assuming that we don't run into any heavy traffic on the way down (Wash DC) :)

[Ryans323i]

Good to know. Thanks Charlie!

[cakM3]

No problem Ryan :) ! It would be awesome if we all could meet at that time to drive down 64 to Dane's :biggrin

[Ryans323i]

Bump. Time to start making some definite plans.

Bump. Time to start making some definite plans.

It is a little early for me to make definite plans but I would like to go and if it works out would be more than happy to join the caravan! will monitor the channel...

I'll be leaving my place around 08:00 on the 18th putting me at Dane's around 11:30. If anyone wants to pull a lay over at my place on Thursday the 17th, you are welcome to do so.

I live in Chapel Hill and I'll be going straight up 85 since it goes right through chapel hill to 95 to 64, etc. Not sure when I'm leaving but I'd be down for a caravan.

Alright, I've got my travel plans firmed up.

This is my route; Black Mountain, NC to Hilton Garden Inn, Williamsburg, VA (my Hotel):

- Take the ramp onto I-40 E , 131 mi
- Slight left to stay on I-40 E, 31.5 mi
- Merge onto I-85 N, 46.0 mi
- Slight left to stay on I-85 N, Entering Virginia, 124 mi
- Keep left at the fork, follow signs for I-95 N/Richmond and merge onto I-95 N, 15.8 mi
-Take exit 67A to merge onto VA-895 E, Toll road*, 8.0 mi
-Keep left at the fork, follow signs for I-295/I-95 and merge onto I-295 N, Partial toll road*, 2.9 mi
-Take exit 28 to merge onto I-64 E toward Norfolk , 34.1 mi
-Take exit 234 for VA-199/State Route 646 toward Lightfoot, 0.3 mi

-Take the US-60 exit toward Lightfoot/Williamsburg, 0.2 mi
-Turn right onto US-60 E/Richmond Rd ,Destination will be on the right, 3.4 mi

I plan to leave at 8am Friday, May 18th and arrive at my hotel around 3pm, which is check in. I want to check in, clean up the car and myself before heading to Dane's house.

My time chart puts me at these major junctions at these times:

Greensboro, NC & I-85- 10:30 am
Durham, NC - 11:30 am
Richmond, VA @ I-64 : 2:30 pm

*- These are toll roads. I will be navigating using my Garmin. I will try to avoid these toll roads w/out extending the travel time. This may, or may not be possible. I will only know once I get close enough to have the Garmin re-route.

[danewilson77]

^You got my PM right?

[Ryans323i]

About the tolls..... yeah. I think it's about $5 in tolls, going farther east is more gas, therefor more $$. We'll just deal.

[HokieZHP]

Dane, when I came to your house to get the wheels, I didn't pay a single toll going the way my GPS took me...

Ryan and to anyone else who's interested, I'll join in with you guys at the I-40E/I-85N junction since it's right by my house

[static667]

About the tolls..... yeah. I think it's about $5 in tolls, going farther east is more gas, therefor more $$. We'll just deal.

If you take 29 from Greensboro to 58 around Danville, VA, you will be good. 58 is a decent road and you are about three hours from Dane's. Oh, and no tolls.

Ryan,

Any of you guys going to have walki talkies with you when driving up? If so, what channel are you guys going to be on? I have a set with me and am trying to make arrangements to have everyone on the same channel so if we are within range, we can organize the meet at Richmond to all roll down together.....what do you say?

[BCAN]

I'd be happy to meet up with you all at some point if we can manage it! We need to get all of the ATL guys together to head up too.

[Mtnman]

Sweet thread revival Brennan! Might as well start the 2013 trip routes now.

[BCAN]

I just looked at the dates all of this was posted :facepalm
I was too tired to think about the age of posts, lol

[Mtnman]

Its ok. Ry would have started this very soon anyway. Im sure she will chime in soon. You should make sure you and cam get up and head north. Then meet us in greensboro or durham

[BCAN]

I was definitely thinking Cam and I head up to meet you guys together. I don't know the routes all that well yet, but I can just look on google and such.
