Question Need some good driving routes around Bucks/Mont Co

As I'll be tucking the m2c away for the winter around Thanksgiving, my goal is to get 1200 miles on the car by then. I should have the car within 2 weeks and it should have PPF by end of month.

So let's assume a 9/29 start and 11/22 finish. This doesn't sound like a difficult task but as I work from home full time, this is more of a fun challenge than you think. Now, I could just wake up each day and drive 30 miles randomly but that doesn't sound like fun. Any recommendations on really good weekend driving routes? I know there are plenty of good stretches in Bucks County that I need to discover. I'm hoping to pick brains while I'm doing that covered bridge tour on 10/7 but please respond if you've got something.

Thanks in advance! And if you are still local, let me know if you want to join.

Lots of nice roads on the covered bridge tour...you also cant go wrong running River Rd (Rt 32) from Washingtons Crossing all the way up to Easton if you want. River road is a beautiful drive.

Yeah, I'll definitely be taking notes during the covered bridge tour. Thanks for the river rd reminder. I was just on it for a bit trying to get from Clinton-ish to Philly but avoiding 95 as it's under construction right at the PA/NJ border. I picked it up at the Frenchtown bridge and probably only took it a few miles south towards Washington Crossing before darting west to 611.

Hey Kleinacus, have you joined the BMWCCA? There's a big fall foliage tour down to the eastern shore on 10/20. Would love to see another M2 there!

Thanks for the heads up. I have BMWCCA opened up in a tab now and will definitely check it out later tonight. As for the fall foliage tour, I really wish it was a different weekend so I could join. Wife and I are heading down to the Outer Banks for a few days which should also be some fun driving to get some break-in miles on the car. It's about a 7 hour drive to get down there.

Very nice. I might take you up on this offer. Are you going next weekend? I get my car back from tint/wrap/ceramic coat tomorrow. I can't remember exactly where you are but I think you are on my way to Malvern. We can prob meet up on the way there as well.

Wegmans in Malvern. Hmm, that is doable for me. About hour and a half for me to get there. Not this Saturday, but maybe the following.

Am I crazy in thinking we should have a thread for each local recurring meet? That way we can chime in if we are attending, if it's on based on weather, etc. As far as I can tell, we have at least the Wegmans in Malvern, PA every Saturday morning and Bucks County Exotics the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month. Not much season left but will make things much easier come Spring time.

I'll be at the C&C at Wegman's in Malvern, PA around 9. I believe fridex may also be joining around that time. See ya there if you can join as well.

I'm sure you'll have fun down in the Outer Banks! I'll see you at the Covered Bridge thingy as I think you're going to that, right?

Yup. Outer banks drive shouldn't be too bad. Should be fun doing the bridge/tunnel depending on how many other people are on the road.

Yup, I'll definitely be there tomorrow. See ya then.
