Default DC/MD/VA Audi'ers... May 4th River Road Run...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/18954/01-15-02_sugarloaf_run-s.jpg"></center><p>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 4th, 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 4th at 2 pm
Where: Starbucks on Rt. 1. by BMW Dealership
Who: Audi Drivers and Friends
