7th Annual Bucks County Covered Bridge Cruise - 10/8/2017 - Sponsored by SEPA5+
 

10/8/17 Cruise Update

THE CRUISE IS ON!!!

While there is some light rain in the forecast (0.03"), we feel we should make a go for it. We certainly understand if you cannot make it because the weather may not be to your liking, but for those hearty souls with a sense of adventure, we will be cruising today, rain or shine!!! We will not have a rain date for this year's cruise as we do not have enough committee member coverage to pull it off at any other time this fall. If you are not attending today, please respond in this forum or PM me to let me know.

Thanks for your interest and hope to see you at 9:30 this morning!!!

P.S. - Bring your umbrellas!!!

Well folks, it's official...the 7th Annual Bucks County Covered Bridge Cruise, sponsored by SEPA5+, is on again this year!!! Like past years, we are asking everyone to sign up (along with your club affiliation, if a member of one - club membership NOT required to participate) in this thread by posting in this thread or PM me, so we can get an accurate count on the number of cars attending. If you are not a member of Camaro5 but are a member of Facebook, please post your intentions on our Facebook page and we will add you to the list. On the day of the cruise, everyone will be assigned a group number and a team leader who knows the route we are taking. If anyone is interested in volunteering to be a lead, please contact me, Kevin McGowan (kmm1412). Also, due to the number of participants expected, we must limit this cruise to CAMAROS ONLY!!! We do not have the resources to allow any other vehicles to participate. Sorry, but we will be strictly enforcing this rule on the day of the cruise, and don't want anybody driving something other than a Camaro to waste their time showing up on the morning of the cruise expecting to tag along. Last year we had 60 cars attend this cruise, and we expect more than that this year.

Now that Camaro5 has seemed to resolve their issues with pushing out email notifications for PM's and Thread Subscriptions, please subscribe to this thread and check back here regularly for updates.

This is a great 44 mile cruise and we will be crossing 5 covered bridges again this year. The route is subject to change, like 2 years ago, when the last bridge was damaged by a truck the day before our cruise. As a reminder, some of the roads we will use are definitely roads less traveled...they are narrow, twisty, and run right through people's back yards. Please be safe and keep an eye out for pedestrians/bicyclists as well as oncoming traffic.

Things to remember bringing if you have them:
1) Walkie-talkies...or a cell phone with at least one other person's number in the cruise
2) GPS...not necessarily for directions, but so you can see what road you're on and look for the next turn
3) Money for concessions at the airport...or pack a lunch for when we get there.
4) Cameras and/or GoPro's...since we can never have too many pictures or videos of our cars!
