The three best roads in the area to cruise are River Road, Ridge Road, and 563. Ridge and 563 go around lake Nockamixon, and are super wide, smooth, long, and just a blast to drive. They also rarely have cops (as those are the roads I go to when I want to ride in triple digits for any extended period of time). You should make the cruise go up river road to 563, then back across Ridge and back down river to peddlers village.

When we doing this?

Charged SVTF · 08-20-2008, 07:12 AM

Not written in stone yet. This may turn into something a little "darker". Fewer cars and later at night to ensure there is less traffic for some awesome driving.

PaleDSM · 08-20-2008, 09:03 AM

If you want to do it I have a few suggestions.

1. Early in the morning. Have the meet at 6-7am. It is light out, cool out, and there is no traffic.

2. From Dtowwn. 202N to Aquatong Rd. Aquatong to River Rd. Hang a right and stop at Bowman's Tower maybe for a picture op. Continue to 95 and get off the next exit for Rt. 29. Take 29 back up the other side of the river to Lambertville. Cross back over at New Hope and take River Rd. north from there. You can then take back roads through Ralph Stover/Tohickon to get back to 611 in the Ringing Rocks area. Go from there where you will.

3. Keep the group under 5 or break up into multiple small groups with planned stops to regroup. It is hard to keep a ton of cars together in a string back there.

012.5RS · 08-20-2008, 09:17 AM

im with pale. another local suby forum had a cruise around the same area with like 20 cars, def had a hard time keepin even half the cars together.

92dxman · 08-20-2008, 10:33 AM

Your missing the best part of the road...the merger of 611/River Road up until right before you get into Easton.

TurboTagTeam · 08-20-2008, 02:37 PM

I just ran up and down the road last night. It's WAY better now that it's been re-paved. The only cops I'v ever seen on the road are at downtown Yardley and at Washington Crossing State Park.

gary · 08-20-2008, 02:46 PM

So wait, your going to get a bunch of cars together, post the route and date/time and blast by drivers that are doing the speedlimit without regard for safety of other drivers who possibly could have their new born child in the car coming home from the hospital? That sounds like a plan for disaster don't you? Can't wait to read the "ask the law" entry for this one.

This is going to be a few cars and people at a much later time....less cars on the road and partaking the better.

Speed limit? You mean the numbers that are in those white signs? Never payed much attention to those

When your running on the shoulder because there isn't enough asphault to support your line.....that's your speed limit.

x2 on that river road...couple months ago we took it over at like 12AM and cruised through new hope and back

012.5RS · 08-20-2008, 04:37 PM

im down for a cruise and the obviously pushing of the speed limit, but nothing crazy, and def not illegally passing anyone, especially on river rd. had way to many people put their cars into trees and stuff doin stupid things like that.

FocusDude · 08-20-2008, 09:36 PM

^^^ Nicely said. I was google mapping a trip last night- starting out of Tyler State I zig zagged, looped, and wound 2 hours and had yet get to break in New Hope for a bite to eat.

Everyone should meet up at 202 and 32 at said time, get there via whichever twisties you prefer. However at the set time we should head north in packs. It will take a good hour and a half from 202 to 80. The upper half is the bestest part.

Hardly. I have to highly disagree with your first statement. 563 is STRAIGHT, ridge road isn't anything exciting, and River Road is passable. Try adding some roads with some twisties; Straightaways are boring and most likely bombed with cops.

BustedUjoint · 08-20-2008, 10:53 PM

well, how about it. Pick a date. I don't need much of a big group to have fun. Hell, just a handful of cars riding together is always fun to me.

The Grey NA · 08-21-2008, 04:06 PM

If you wanna learn what brake fade is, ride Mt. Nebo road off 209 in marshalls creek. THAT'S a fun one.

That seems a little exaggerated.
