New Year's Cruise-2018 (continued)

OK guys, it is that time again, to start planning for our New Year's cruise. I have already written the directions for our path, which will be, I hope, slightly different than last year's. I will be posting the directions for our new path, with maps highlighting the routs we are taking, which Steve Baker will prepare and put them on the CACC web site, once I give him the go ahead. Please, respond to this thread stating if you will be going on this cruise, this is very important in order to advise the restaurant how many of us will be having lunch.As far as restaurant, we will again be ending up at Kylroy's as we did last year. Chipper did check the restaurants close to the Capitol's parking lot, and one of them will not be open on New Years day, and the other requires a guarantee expenditure of $1,500, so, I DON'T THINK SO, therefore, we'll end up at Kylrois. Stay tuned, I we will post the maps and directions of our rout.
Thank you, and a very Merry Christmas to all of you!

PLEASE, ADD YOUR NAME TO THE LIST !!

COME THE HELL ON!! LETS GO, PUT YOUR NAMES DOWN!!!!

I very much regret, I will not be able to join you in this great day. In NJ still, I have been diagnosed with “light case of pneumonia “, which started with a bad cold, courtesy of my grand kids. I will continue to fallow this, and help in any way possible. Please, would some good soul print the description of the path, and maps for Jack Goering, and give it to him at Cooper School. I thank you very much.

CHIPPER, DID YOU SECURE KYLROIS FOR US, I'M SURE YOU HAVE, JUST MAKING SURE.

Thanks Scott. O0

Hector, did you get that? Depending on the weather, I may or may not have a copilot.

Looks like Scott's map has us going up Canal and crossing Chain Bridge to 123N to GWPkwy to 495. Are we doing that or going up Canal which turns into Clara Barton to 495?
 
I'd like a ride if someone has an empty seat -

The map is incorrect. It should show our path on Canal Rd, which turns into Clara Barton, all the way to Cabin John bridge and 495 South

Bill, I did offer my sit to Dan Deitz, however it looks as if he is riding with Larry White, if Larry is going. If he is not using it, it is yours.

Steve, would you please correct the map to agree with my written directions. It is Canal Rd.which turns into Clara Barton , all the way to 495 South and Cabin John bridge going south. Call me if you have any questions.
 
Here is a series of maps that I did for Hector. I broke the trip into two parts.

Cooper School to Iwo Jima to Capital to Hanes Point
1 Overview part 1.jpg

Hanes Point to Tilden (Rock Creek Park) back to Wisconsin to 495 to Kilroys.
2 Overview part 2.jpg
 
OK, this are the correct maps. I suggest to make a print of each map, as well as the written directions
Thank you very much STEVE!!

SEE YOU ALL ON NEW YEARS DAY!!!
 
I'm running summer tires and the forecasted temp is in the teens for the morning, too cold to risk it, so I will not be their.

Do most of you guys also run without a top? It is looking like it is going to be very cold. We plan on bundling up.
 
9AM projected temp 17 degrees. Wind chill 4 degrees. Driving 60 mph into the wind equates to a wind chill of -14 degrees. Are you F'ing kidding me!
