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.

Ice Cream Man was featured in Throwdown with Bobby Flay. Only open during the warmer months. Great place to stop for a shake or sundae after a drive

Halfmoon Sandwich Shoppe is an awesome deli that also serves breakfast sandwiches no matter the time of day. Their website is under construction, but rest assured its great food for the end of the drive at reasonable prices.

Would be great if people from Metro came. Headchef plans an amazing route and is known to keep a frenetic pace on his drives.

How about a caravan up from the Metro area?
