Then come join your BMW CCA chapter for a social distance-friendly drive (a.k.a. The Great Escape) on Saturday, June 20th. Bring your face mask and your BMW as we drive from Warrendale to Moraine State Park via the scenic and twisty Franklin Rd/SR 528. Trip mileage is 64 miles and should take 2.5 hours.
The departure location will be the parking lot at Generoasta Coffee in Warrendale. The address is 901 Warrendale Village Dr, Warrendale, PA 15086. Driver’s meeting is at 9:45 AM and we will get on the road promptly at 10:00 AM. Due to the PA DOH and CDC recommendations on social distancing we will be doing things a little different on this drive. First, we will be sending out waivers and directions electronically. Second, we will be meeting in separate sections of the parking lot. Third, we will not be stopping at a restaurant when the drive is over. Instead, we will be ending the drive at Moraine State Park and folks are free to picnic on their own. The chapter will be reserving a pavilion for picnicking.
As a reminder, we rate the drives in order to better inform members of the type of driving they can expect:
This drive is rated – Spirited. But don’t worry if that is not your cup of tea. The goal is to assign drive groups based on personal preferences of driving style.
The event is FREE to all attendees but registration is mandatory.
Also, if you have a two-way radio please bring it. If you do not have one, please consider purchasing one such as the easy-to-use Motorola Talkabout T260 or Talkabout T460. If you are looking for a more advanced model, consider the BaoFeng UV-82HP (NOTE – You will need a FCC GMRS license to use the BaoFeng radio. There is no test, you just pay the $70 fee and the license is good for 10 years).
A GPX file and written directions will be provided before the drive. If you have any questions, please contact Steve Forest at [email protected]
