the ride will be up state [better roads] and mark is from yonkers , but and knoiws the area better than us islanders ! and even two up he is probably quickest through the twisties! so who better to lead than someone who wont slow anyone down and also knows where he is goin , there are alot of blind corners up there and it helps alot to have someone leading who knows whats around the bend. it will be a good ride !(djac2163 @ Oct. 15 2006,17:53) thought we was going up state? (bear mountain).
