Meeting information will be posted shortly, once we see who is going.[/url]

I will be attending the ride on Saturday Oct 29 at Paragon. If anyone wants to meet up with me, I'll be at the new Wawa in N. Wilmington:

Directions to the new Wawa:

Follow I-95 north past the 202 (Foulk Road) and Marsh Road exits. Get off at Harvey Road, and turn right at the top of the ramp. Follow about 3/4 mile to Philadelphia Pike, the Wawa is on the corner there. It is a "super" Wawa with gas pumps and (I think) bathrooms. We will meet in the back.

I'd like to head out of there by about 6:15. If you're meeting up with me, please be there in time to get your stuff and be ready to go by then. If no one is driving up there with me, I will not be linger at the Wawa, so either post or PM me if you are coming.

Remember, bring a new unwrapped toy...
