Spring Cruise?

Do you guys ever pull one of these off? I mean a real cruise that takes the whole day and at least 4 hours of solid driving. Would be sweet to roll around the country side on some scenic roads! Probably hook up with other Nissan clubs in the area to see if we can get a real posse going.

See the following for an idea!

I'd gladly help organize, but since I just moved down here I'm not to familiar with the scenic roads.

Awesome video's, I'd love to do something like this ... we could do a hill country cruise, I've heard there are some incredible country roads to cruise!

These always seem like they are hard to get organized though. That NYC cruise had a great turnout.

The vid I posted ended up being on a raining morning so turnout was 50% what was expected, turned out nice and clear by the mid day. Still I think we ended up with over 20 cars. We had people from New York, Conn., Mass,. New Hampshire, and even Toronto show.

The nice part about the north east is that the ski resorts generally shut down for a few months between winter and summer so the roads are left clear for groups like that.

I was talking to some motorcycle enthusiasts at work and they recommended a road call Talimena highway. The route itself looks like it would be a great candidate but to get to it is a 5 hour drive, so it's out of the question.

If anyone gets some information about good cruise routes I'll be glad to scope them out.

The general idea of the cruise was to "drive our car how they were meant to be driven" kind of deal. So long straight roads and excessive intersections shall be avoided. So I'd also suggest getting the Z crowd to participate.

Perhaps to increase attendees the cruise could be planned somewhere between Dallas and Houston. But that area seems pretty flat and relatively dull.

I know a group of bikers from Austin that might know of some good roads to cruise. Chicago had some incredible scenic drives but everything up there is flat, at least Texas has some hills!

I found a motor cycle forum with some suggested driving routes. In and around DFW. I'm going to work on a route and try it out some time.

Even if this never goes down I'll have had fun exploring the back roads.
