Default DC/MD/VA Audi'ers... May 25th River Road Run...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/18954/01-15-02_sugarloaf_run-s.jpg"></center><p>
<b>Note... After the Run we will be heading to the Capital City Brewery located in Downtown, D.C. at 1100 New York Avenue, NW (202 628-2222) for some beer and food... This is to lessen the impact on lots of Audi drivers on my personal beer supply at my apartment You can get directions, etc. <a href="http://www.capcitybrew.com/downtown.htm">here...</a>
</b>

Here is the soon to be famous River Road run... an 85 mile round-trip that is turning out to be quite the gem. We will modify the route as time goes on to maximize the fun... Currently it includes plenty of
curves and straight country roads. On Saturday, May 25th, we will meet at Starbucks at 2pm, leave
soon afterwards via the GW Parkway and re-group before we start the run at the starting point.
Everyone print out a copy of the directions below to have on hand. The Starbucks just south of the
Arlington BMW/Porsche dealership (Old Audi dealership), with plenty of parking. Starbucks is located in the shopping center across from WagonWorks, between the new Audi dealership, and the
BMW/Porsche dealership.

What: Starbucks/ River Road Run, to Replace KK Run
When: Saturday, May 25th at 2 pm

Default Go figure... I will be in town (Centreville) from Fri eve on, but cant bring Audi. :-( maybe next yr

I visit my sister-in-law every year in Centreville/Manassas. I continue with my "lumpy tire" issue, I have the replacement from Tire Rack, but can't get it on in time for 500 mile outbound and 500 mile back, plus this 100mi run.

Sounds like fun. See you next year!
