Default RtD2017 - The Newbie Drive - Friday at 0830

New to the Dragon? Haven't been here for a while? Want to pick up some tips from an experienced Dragon driver? Sign up for the Newbie drive. Led by Mike (lovetodrive2000), you'll get a guided tour from Fontana through Hellbender and across the Dragon. This is a great way to reacquaint yourself with the fun that is the Dragon at a pleasant pace. The drive will finish in plenty of time for you to make the Franklin drive. Meet at the Grill parking lot Friday morning at 8:00am and be ready to leave promptly at 8:30am.

Sign up below.

We usually get up and make an early Dragon run. Then come back and wait to fall in behind the Newbie group at the gap.
