Forum: 2009 Blue Ridge Parkway Tour

Thought I'd start a new thread for anyone wanting to post updates as the BRPT 2009 unfolds. I've uploaded some pics to my blog gallery and just got done with a blog post for the first day (very short as it is late). GBMINI has posted some stuff at his site. So has ravioliworld.

Please stop by my house or catch me at an event like the Mabry Mill Run and I'll give you one. I have 38 to give away, so get yours NOW! If you would like it shipped, Please send $1 to cover the cost of the DVD envelope and postage to: THMMC 3915 Avera Ave Winston-Salem, NC 27106-1601

Whew. I is tired. Day 2 of The Great Ice Cream Run 2 (the second leg of the triple crown) is complete. We are in Sturbridge, MA for the night. Over 700 miles during the past two days and enough ice cream to make me sick. We started out hitting three ice cream shops on Day "0" (Sunday...

I'm sure everyone has seen the commercial for the Clubman that has the "pinball" theme.
