Sorry took me so long to post up! Busy night after the drive and a busy day today!
Had a blast! Really cool to put some faces and names to some online personas!
And thanks to all who took pics they look great!

Trimmed it down to around 55 minutes last night. Have some more editing to do tonight. YouTube has a 15 minute limit. Will try finishing it tonight as it will free up time for the rest of the week.

Well, I hope everybody had a pretty good time and felt it was worth the drive north.
When planning (if you can call it that) these North Country drives, I never know what the participants will want: scenic views, stops to lunch and socialize, local attractions, hard driving or to be finished early. I hope no one objected to our doing 3 sections of road x2 and were just too polite to mention it at lunch. I was a bit disappointed we had so much slow traffic on some good roads.
Anyway, like Mark said, since the police didn't cart any of us (all of us?) away in handcuffs, and since all cars kept all 4 tires on pavement, I consider the drive a relative success. We failed to drive some nice roads, however as we never even touched the second half of the drive!
Like Steve, I was pretty tired after it was all done. My hands are still a bit sore from the "steering wheel death grip" I was using!
Enjoyed meeting the new people. Corey, I have to re-read your thread, but I think maybe you should be studying engineering instead of business. But having said that, you wopuld have to take differential calculus - which I suppose is reason enough to stay in business!
Steve, if you are actually interested in doing a Skip Barber race school, look at my MG on Track thread. Starting at post 12, I have a blow by blow report on my experience this spring. You've got to figure $4500 to $5,000. I can tell you how I got my "discount", but even at retail, it was tons of fun and would be worth the expense.
Mark, can you edit you post to delete the names of the two roads. Put code names in instead. No sense putting the word out too much and spoiling our fun. Also, how do you block the license plate numbers?

Done, but those roads are no secret. Search youtube--well known amongst bikers. I edit the plates using Photoshop magic.
