Ride Saturday Morning?

Anyone interested in taking a drive Saturday early morning? Weather looks to be moving into the 50's at some point in the day, and with my car now garaged for the past 6 weeks, I'm having withdrawals.

Thinking 7 lakes / Bear Mtn / Hawks Nest if anyone is game. Open to suggestions on meeting and departure time; as of now I'm thinking something like meet between 7:30 and 8:30 at the Dick's Sporting Goods on Rt. 17 N in Paramus.

Lemme know!

Just returned my ride to stock and it’s going to be returned to the dealer any day now, but SURE!

Not sure if your route or destination has been chosen but I wanted to give a heads up that the seasonal road closures might be in effect in the Harriman State Park/bear mtn area. I drove through last weekend and Tiorati Brook Road, Arden Valley Road, and Exit 16 on the Palisades Interstate Parkway to Lake Welch Drive were closed.

I ended up cruising through bear mtn on seven lakes drive and going on the goats trail to get a decent drive in but nonetheless wanted to chime in so you don't make the trip only to find out that most roads in the area are closed.

Thank you. Was planning 7 lakes down through Harriman and then bang west on thruway towards deer park and back down to my area through high point and Rt. 23. Appreciate the info.

For Anyone who is interested in joining, I'm planning to be headed out from the Dicks on Rt17 N by 815 is my target.

I'd love to, but I promised the parents I'd do family time with them this weekend.

Def looking forward to meeting up with you and anyone else that joins for a cruise... used to do these a bunch when I was in the Bay Area, easy way to cross paths with a great bunch of folks!

I saw you! I was in the grey e92. I actually went to Dicks in the Am but didn't see anyone.

I just realized that my login works here and not just the e92 forum. Duh

Oh man! I had one person said they'd be interested and then said they couldn't go, so I passed through dicks around 810-815, didn't see any BMWs and headed north. Damn, I'm really sorry.

You made a good call at the circle there--going further up the mountain led to snow and ice. I didn't go much further up.

Roads were nice and empty though--hope you enjoyed the ride!
