I'm interested. Never did a run. Depends on what day. My schedule changes every 2 weeks. So if I'm off I would be interested. So count me as a maybe.

March was the last update Corey gave on road conditions https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/107...-drive-update/

Didn't sound promising...don't know if anyone is up that way that can update....

Maybe we combine a run in the new hope area to the Evans Meet. Starting at the park n ride in yardley and heading up the jersey side backroads because river road has too many Sunday drivers. I'm thinking we dont have to go directly there, we can leave earlier and take a "scenic" route. I may take a trip that way tomorrow using the old new hope run directions and see how rough the roads are....taking the Subie in case it becomes a rally drive...which I'm betting it will.

That's a great idea for those coming from the southern region.

Yes it was the run Corey did. That evans run sounds great. Chris, do you have something in mind? I tried the newhope run and everything on the jersey side was undriveable. But that was in March so maybe we could scout it

I'll have to try again. The new hope run roads were iffy due to people running, walking dogs, riding bicycles, with blind curves and hills. There were some great roads but I wasn't going over 15 mph because of other people. If the weather is as good as it is today, this is what we could expect. There was one part with nasty potholes so I turned around and went with the STi's Nav system set to "as the crow flies". That took me on some incredible new roads, but unfortunately for the s2000, one of those roads was a mile long gravel road....the STi was exciting in gravel!

Let me see if I can divert that road on google maps, shouldn't be a problem. Next week I'll take the s2000 on the run. It seemed like anyone lowered may struggle with the road's undulations and that's what I need to try out before we commit.

Thanks Chris for trying it out!

I drove for a good while starting in the New Hope area along the river. Really nice drive and didn't notice any potholes or issues in the road.
