Default **NYC Metro Area Audi Group: Cliffs of Insanity; AWD Driftin' UPDATE and REMINDER**

NYC Metro Area Audi Group presents: Cliffs of Insanity; AWD Driftin'
Sunday October 26th, 2003

We would like to announce our 3rd annual Bear Mountain drive, featuring some of the most scenic, and challenging roads anywhere around. We look foward to offering one of the most exciting drives possible, and this years will hopefully be even better than those drives past.

The meet will begin promptly at 11am at Franklin Delano State Park (in parking lot #6, which is the same parking lot that last years drive ended at), located in Northern Westchester County, in the town of Yorktown. The park is located directly off of the Taconic State Parkway, and is easily accesible from NYC, CT, and points North. Directions can be obtained from www.mapquest.com, the address for the park is:

2957 Crompond Road
Yorktown Heights, NY 10598

We urge all to arrive promptly at 11am for the meet and greet, as we plan to start the drive within an hour. The drive will start through some side roads until we reach the area that the fun begins, a twisty mountain road that climbs up the edge of the Hudson River, the drive will than find its way to one of the most incredible roads I have ever seen, route 218/Storm King, after this the drive switches gears into scenic mode, where we will cruise to 7 Lakes Drive for some great views, eventually turning back and finding some more curvy roads. The drive takes approximately 2 hours to complete, and will end back at FDR Park, where all those who want to can attend a late lunch at one of the local establisments.

We urge those that choose to attend to remember that though many of us drive capable modified cars, we cannot deny the laws of physics. Simply put, we look to have a ton of fun on the road, but not at the expense of the safety (or perhaps sanity) of anyone in the drive, or any bystanders.

If you have any questions about the drive, or any input, feel free to email me at xxxxx , or post on the B5 A4 forum on Audiworld.

Updates will be posted on our site, NYCmetro.audiworld.com , shortly, please check for updates.

Would you like to tempt fate on the edge of one of the most scenic roads in the entire country? Over 30 miles of non stop twists and turns on the side of a mountain, with nothing between you and a 300 foot drop into the Hudson River but quattro and a few strategically placed rock barriers and rusty old guardrails. High speed cornering with one of the best backdrops in the North East, and more apexes and elevation changes than you know what to do with.

Wish I could make it, but I have to be somewhere else.

Default Yeah, that one always sits in the back of my mind.

Even the one where the bimmer guys got into a 10 car fender bender was enough to make me cautious.
