After doing some checking on Google maps we have 3 general options for a route up to Moss Motors. First is up 64 to 295 to 95 to 85. Second is 64 to Williamsburg to Rte 5 through Hopewell to 85 and number 3 is up Rte 460 to 95 to 85. Personally, I still think460, even with the speed traps, would be the route to take. Mainly because I just despise I64. It shows about 2 1/2 hours from the beach and about an hour and a half from Suffolk. If memory serves me right, they'll open up to us at 10AM. If the Beach/Chesapeake gang can meet up at 7 and the Peninsula guys join in somewhere along 460 for a wheels up at 8AM should work well. I'd suggest the Dairy Queen at 460 & 258 for a meet up point.

Unless we happen to bump into each other along 460, the guys from MAM, driving the classics will meet you all at Moss at around 10.

Okay, Cooper Vineyard is behind us and Moss MINI is on the horizon! I'll have a route figured out this evening hopefully. I'd also vote for an after event dinner up that way. Preferably with a nice drive to the restaurant. Lets think about either Famous Dave's BBQ or maybe Bottom's Up Pizza.
Here is the address for the Famous Dave's that is a mile or two from my office (southside Richmond), it is the location nearest to the Colonial Heights/Petersburg area: 10201 Midlothian Turnpike Richmond, VA 23236 Bottom's Up is in the city close to the intersection of I-95 and I-64. You normally park under the highway near Main Street Station. |

We can always opt to take Route 10. It is a bit slower but more scenic. You can either cut over to U.S. 460 via Route 625 (Hines Road) around Disputanta or take 10 all the way to Hopewell and take Route 36 southward. If this route is chosen, a good meeting place would be the Smithfield Plaza Shopping Center.

Dale- Route 5 right into Richmond is a real nice drive. it's a two lane road thru the country with very little traffic. Don |

I agree with that. This past Spring MAM had a classic Mini cruise from Hampton, around Williamsburg and on up to Richmond via Rt5 and it was a great run all the way. Return trip from the Richmond area took us down 10 on the opposite side of the James, which was enjoyable as well.

We actually have a member working on a route now. He stepped up and offered some ideas. I think y'all will like it.
As for route 5, it surely is a nice ride. we did do it one Sunday morning for something. BTW, there are a lot of churches on Rt 5! Trust me, I got behind every singe congregation member!

 This event falls on a day of work for me. I am trying to get one of my colleagues to trade the day for me, but I have not gotten word back yet. I hope to meet you guys there, since I live only about 20 minutes from MOSS

Got the trade from one of my colleagues and I can get there. No extended lunch needed. Drove by MOSS today after I got the word that I can get there. Can't wait until I see the rest of the HR MINI/Mini crew there  . Checked out the catalog and marked a few things to pick up that day. |
