The route was nice, good scenery going from Purcellville through Warrenton and stopping at Linden, VA for a gas break. Keith, I hope you feel better, don't worry you didn't miss a thing.

The whole time everyone was going 35 miles an hour, and to top it off they had the nerve to slow down and brake on the twisties
Yuk! Today I was coming home from running an errand in Rockville. I decided to take Georgetown Pike home. BIG MISTAKE! I had to sit behind driver's that find the posted speed limit too daunting. We crawled through every turn. Never again. G-Town Pike is OFFICIALLY off my list of roads to use. What an incredible waste.
Sorry for veering off-topic.

Naw, just a little vertigo, had it again today. I think I'm coming down with something, comes and goes. Enjoyed the drop!!

Sounds like I didn't miss much in Purcelleville...Funny thing, I don't seem to remember people even using their brakes on our last Fun Run around the turns - now over hills, well that's another story...

But did you leave a cloud of smoke from "threshold braking" for moving vans?

Jim, this drive had more stop and go traffic than your drive through Old G-town Rd.

The worst was when I would downshift to crush the corners, the fools in front would be braking the whole way around the turns. I still can't sleep from the trauma.
I have no idea what you are talking about...

There is a balance to be struck here... high speeds v. public roads. This behavior of other drivers and those pesky "5 Oh" can hamper a perfectly good fun run.
