Arrow July TWR Drive - 29th

TWR Freedom Run 2007 Details available here.

After quite a bit of searching, I have to admit defeat. There doesn't seem to be a route over Snoqualmie pass suitable for sports cars without spening a lot of time on I-90. So instead, we're going a bit further south. The plan is to loop around Mt Rainier. 410 may have a bit more traffic than we'd generally prefer, but the route is an enjoyable one none the less. In addition, the side roads I have planned for the south side of the mountain are usually pretty empty, and definitely make for a lot of fun.

As usual, this is a family friendly event, and so long as you love to drive, all cars are welcome.

We'll be meeting at 10 and rolling at 11.

It makes things a LOT easier if you sign up at TWR. I really only want people who've been on one my drives before to spot the $10. If this is your first TWR drive, please join us for free. I'm only printing enough route maps for the people who've signed up at TWR, and I'm only going to know for certain if you plan on attending if you sign up over there. Since it's open to anyone, trying to keep a list compiled by hand from various sites is just too much work. I did that with the Snow Flake Special and it was taking hours a week just to manage the list. I don't sell your e-mail (I hate it when people sell mine and wouldn't dream of doing it to someone else), so you're safe on that front.

Well, more research and planning mean the route isn't quite a loop around the Mountain. Instead, we'll make the trip up to Paradise for a BBQ/Picnic before looping back around and returning back the way we came. This does make it the longest route to date for us, but Speed Limits are generally higher, and some of the roads are genuine treasures, so it'll be a good time none the less. The directions are posted, and I'll have an overview map up this evening.

Just a reminder, 1 week to go. If you plan on attending, please register at The-Winding-Road so everyone else has an idea what food to bring.
