BCX Fall covered bridge tour

Slowphiveo · 10-04-2020, 12:08 PM

Great to meet everyone. I got a few pics of the group and will post them soon. I'll also put the Dropbox link up here when Joe posts his pics.

I know it was a big group today and as a result we really didn't get to do any real driving so....

*if anyone is interested in doing a part 2, I would be up for doing this again at a better drivers pace, with just a small group of BMW M car people if any of you are interested. Thinking Saturday the 17th since there is a large BMW meet in north Jersey on the 18th. Thinking we can keep it to less than a dozen cars so we can move a little better. Let me know!

Great turn out and tour of Bucks county Chris, tell Tim and the rest I had a great time, see you on the next tour. Thanks for organizing a great event.

BCX Guys,

Today was a great ride! Nice people, nice scenery. I was the white M3 that was the caboose of the train. We got lucky that nobody got lost.

Good thing you sent the waypoint list.

A faster run on the 12th sounds good. Maybe mid-day so we're less likely to encounter deer trotting through.

Best to Drive us Sports + the noise alone would scare any animal away

Damn, Bro I missed to catch up with you in person, I was behind Tim the leader, I was in the White M4 Vert.

Slowphiveo · 10-04-2020, 07:07 PM

I really wasn't able to get many pics, but snapped a few at the break spot and got one of the bridges. Also snapped a pic or two of my car and RElias21's M3. 😁

TopJimmy · 10-04-2020, 07:47 PM

Good crowd.

I second that!! Would have loved to meet you in person, especially with all the help re: the MP HAS lately. Next time, God willing.

Ok...so the redux is on! Saturday the 17th. I'm thinking about a slightly later start time and beginning at a different location so we get some more roads in and a 5th bridge! Starting point will be the Starbucks in Doylestown PA at the Barn Plaza shopping center (Rt 611 Almshouse Rds). Im thinking an 11am meet time and 11:30am go time? I'll take suggestions if this doesn't work time wise. Don't spread the word too much (unless its to other BMW brethren) as I'd like to keep this a smaller M car group so we can actually drive a bit (nothing crazy, but not a parade lap either). If the weather doesn't cooperate we can postpone until the 24th. If you are in, let me know!

TopJimmy · 10-05-2020, 02:48 PM

PM sent.
I'm in.

Excited for the Dropbox link.

I'm not sure about IG? And no, I'm not on social media because of employment reasons.
As soon as Ernie emails me the Dropbox link I'll post it here.

Slowphiveo · 10-11-2020, 09:26 AM

Just to update since I've gotten a few requests...The Dropbox link is still not posted yet. Joe took a bunch of pics and is sorting through them all and wants to post the best ones...so it may be another week or so.

Also...Ive added a 5th Bridge to the tour for the "redux" on the 17th. Im going to attempt to get a pdf version of the tour plans and post them here this week. If the weather takes a turn for the worse, ill make sure to update this post by no later than 9am on the 17th to determine if its canceled.

Slowphiveo · 10-15-2020, 09:42 AM

Just an update. Have a handful of "yeses" for Saturday. Weather looks like it will be a perfect fall day. High of 60° and sunny. Hope to see you guys at 11am at the Starbucks parking lot!

Slowphiveo · 10-28-2020, 07:26 AM

For those of you waiting for the pics from the last bridge...
