EAST coast CONVOY to N16

[enzocrx]

everyone is talking about it, its down to the wire, lets really do it.

http://www.mapquest.com/mq/10-N1kh0E8O9d2B

this is the route we're taking(so far, mapquest wont let me out of the tolls.). hoping to leave at around 10a on friday, so we can meet up with some NY peeps before we cross the peace bridge. (and after last years tire mishap i'd rather be on the road when things are open) if anyone would be meeting our route on the way let us know, and we'll seriously make it a CRX convoy!

bring it.

Baker and I are heading up Friday as well. I'm not sure what time he wanted to leave, but I'm up for meeting in Buffalo if he is.

awesome
figure it would be a good chance to fuel up and gather any remaining supplies/beer ect.
then we can have first pick of tent pitching!
(ps i got a grill so bring your burgs/dawgs and we'll make dinner!)

Good plan. We're familiar with Buffalo, so we can point you in the right direction. There is also a Walmart 15-20 minutes away from the site, just in case.

why does it say it's going to take you 10:30 hours to get to niagara when you're only 328 miles away?

There is something wrong with the estimates; the last part of the trip reads 2:56 to go 15.5 miles.

But the total time isn't that off. It takes us 5.5 hrs to get to DC, another 2.5 to Buffalo, another hour to get into Canada and across the bridge and I think the site was about 1.5 hours into Canada. Factor in stops and the fact we'll be going across the bridge at 5pm on a Friday....

We are leaving Dayton OH @ 10-10:30. Be in Cleveland 2-2:30. From there it is 3 more hours to the site, I think this will put us as the boarder between 4:30-5:30...

Yeah, I was going to say that it's factoring in bridge traffic.
That really is a nasty time to be making the crossing. Good luck.

[crxboy90]

hell yeah im going to meet up i need to cruse with some crx's its been to long....

[enzocrx]

hmm well perhaps i can wrangle the troops a bit earlier...
last year it took us 10 hours because we had a flat, and an hour long stop to replace such a tire... and all that.
but, we got to the bridge late(like 10), and it didnt take us very long to cross at all.
perhaps we can get up there around 4. i know its like 7 hours to the bridge.
so even leaving at 8 would put us there at 3...
it depends, if it were up to me i'd be leaving thursday late night.

too bad in in southern nh. im like farther than you guys yet im farther north..... and like way away from the rout ur taking plus idk about how much the whole trip would cost for a motel and ect.

[Baker]

I'd like to leave before noon so we can get a good spot, thinking by 10am or so.

idk about how much the whole trip would cost for a motel and ect.

Bring a tent and camp out like many of us are doing.

From last year:

that just blew my mind. im definitially going now haha i love camping.

[rex2nr]

I really want to be to the border before 5. Meeting in Buffalo at 5 might make us miss the caravan to the track.

[mel0n666]

hahaha well as soon as u figure out a time and place to meet up before the bridge then im down to meet up with you too.

[Braffy]

I could meet up somewhere around I-80.

[enzocrx]

ok its settled, i'm leaving at 7 am on friday, gps in hand. and stopping at the shell before the bridge (1073 Niagara St, Buffalo, NY 14213 - (716) 886-8795)
should be there around two/threeish, more updates as it gets closer.

PM for cell number for meet ups.

as for 81. where thats pretty close, about an hour into our trip... (really its less. its 53 miles) so around 8 if we make it out on time.

**edit*** its early monday morning and i was up till 3 am working on the car.. you put **80** which is about three hours from where we're coming from. not 81**

[Gotin]

Ive reconfigured my plan. Everyone is telling me to get there earlier. Ill meet you guys at the gas station at 2pm.

[rex2nr]

If anyone is passing through Rochester NY around 11-11:30 and wants to meet up, I'll be rolling out then with Baker from my house.
