Formal announcement of the Big Zipp 2013. Saturday August 3rd. Mark your calendars for a great 2/3's of a day event! Meeting at the rest area on the Adirondack Northway just above exit 9 at 10am. Shooting for a 10:30 takeoff. Going to revisit the route from the first big Zipp three years ago with a few mods. Three quarters of the drive will be in the morning to early afternoon with a stop at the Ice Cream Man in Greenwich. Then a short drive 45 mins to 1 hour ending at your choice of Halfmoon Sandwich Shop or at Wheatfields restaurant as in previous years. All told we should finish up 4 to 5ish depending on time spent at restaurant. I need input from all interested in attending on choice of dining facility and of course a list of attendies ASAP. As a precaution after last years experience-wear your air conditioned underwear!

PS: For those coming from a distance away may I suggest that you make a mini holiday of it and come in Friday evening have a nice dinner and stay over. Sleep in a bit and start out refreshed on Sat. I'll be glad to make recommendations on places to dine.

Where will this end up (what town). We are about 2 hrs from the starting point so just curious if we will have a long drive home after. Definetly interested in this drive sounds like a good time. Can you give any details about the route we will we be taking?

Headchef

Route takes us through Washington and Saratoga counties. We end up in Clifton Park at exit 9 of the Northway (87)

I remember the early days of S2000 ownership, we likely would have been hopping in the car to join you.

Now, life seems to get in the way too often. Always something going on. Sounds like a fun day.

Enjoy!

Lainey, if by chance that weekend frees up for you & Rick you'd be more than welcome to join in.

Thanks, Levi. We're away in late June for a few days, then saving vaca time for a possible trip to SC in the fall. Too little time.........
