[WPTA] Caution! Curves Ahead!

[Gary Fredo]

 I don't think this went through last time so I'm sending it again.  Ignore this email if you already received one with a copy of the instructions.


One last item.  Attached is a spreadsheet with the directions for the drive in case anyone wants to look at them in advance.  I will have paper copies of the directions at the start on Saturday for everyone.

  In case anyone wants to meet at the half way point the address of the Sunoco station for our break is 135 Lindsay Road, Zelienople, Pa 16063 which is just South of Zelienople on Rt 19.
No rain expected on Saturday!!!!  Lucky us.
It will be a high of 87 degrees on Saturday but we won't hit that temperature until late afternoon.  Our drive will depart around 10:30 and finish around 1:30 so it will be slightly cooler on the drive.  And many of the roads that we will be traveling are shady with many trees on both sides of the road.
The reservation has been made at Steel City Sports Bar & Grille.  We will be inside the building in air conditioning.  There will still be tables available if anyone wants to sit outside in the covered area.  But no air at the outside table unless you count Mother Nature.
See everyone on Saturday.

Caution! Curves Ahead! by Gary Fredo
 
On July 20th we will meet at the Sheetz just off the Mount Nebo exit of I79 (1910 Mount Nebo Road, Sewickley Pa 15143) at 10:00 and finish at the Steel City Sports Bar & Grille (3108 New Butler Rd, New Castle Pa 16101) at approximately 2:00. The Driver’s Meeting is at 10:15. Their website is steelcitysportsbarandgrille.com. I’m unsure of the seating arrangement as I write this as they didn’t want me to make a reservation until we are closer to the event but I’m sure they will be able to accommodate us. 
 
As the name of the event implies, anticipate plenty of curvy roads on the drive. There are several shady areas that we will be driving through so if it ends up being hot, we will have occasional relief from the hot sun. For the most part we will be on lightly traveled country roads with some transition roads to get from one fun country road to another. The route and directions are very similar to the route from 3 years ago and are fairly easy to follow.
 
With that said, I’m hoping people will step up and lead groups. You won’t get lost. I would like to keep the groups to five cars as much as possible. It’s safer and easier to keep up with only five cars to a group. But if we end up with larger groups then that is ok also. I’ve designed this run so there are very few signal lights on the course. There are also minimal left turns onto busy roads and we never directly cross a busy road. This will help to keep everyone together in the groups. I’ve had a blast driving around these country roads finding nice twisty roads.
 
So, if you like to drive a little briskly then I think you will really enjoy this run. And if you prefer a leisurely pace then you can put the top down and enjoy the scenery as most of the roads are tree lined with plenty of wildlife roaming about. 
 
See you on the 20th.
