Default Berks/Schuykill/Lehigh Drive update

I was out scouting the past few days, I am working on make the drive bigger and better. Unfortunately, a lot of the roads took a severe beating this winter. It is very likely they won't be repaired until the end of summer, since most of them are not heavily used. I'll be out and about all summer checking up on it, but I'm thinking August will be the soonest. I know a lot of you were asking and I just wanted to give you an update, I would hate to host the drive worrying about holes and dips ruining someones day.

I tried the newhope run yesterday... Can pretty much throw that route in the trash. Roads are destroyed and I agree may be some time before they get repaired, I doubt it will be this year

I can vouch for that. Went on a random date with a girl near philly and had her navigate the directions that chris ( i think it was him) posted awhile back. The roads were almost undriveable and that was last summer.

That's my stomping grounds and last year there was a lot of great roads to hit. I'm kinda worried about this year. We need to "chart" or whatever good roads in the area.

I've been out "scouting" our local roads in the daily driver trying to find somewhere decent to bring the s2000....so far I can get from my house to Acme without a pothole...don't think many people would want to come to a two mile drive.

I drove the S to my ACME two weeks ago and I encountered over 30 ditches that I had to avoid. My ACME is less than 2 miles from my house.

I have a feeling my S isn't going to see that much action this season. - blows
I have a CBR and 69 Camaro also. The CBR I rarely ride, only when I go rip back roads. I never take it anywhere so with that said.. its for sale.
