I figured I could count on the 997 guys. Glad to have you all along... now we just have to pull the route together.
This will be a longer drive than previous ones. I'll know more once I map this properly, but this could be probably around double the length. I obtained a drive fom the ducati club that we'll be working from.
From what I'm seeing it it will probably be an uncomplicated drive, but a pretty one aimed at seeing the fall colors.

About time you showed your face again! 
It will be good to have you along.
The route will be nice and simple, but will be a longer distance, have more stops and be aimed at a pretty drive to enjoy the view.

Well, looks like our route is pretty much close to set... a trek from Lambertville up to Highpoint State park, then back through Delaware Water Gap - should be a great drive - let's hope for good weather and some spectacular fall colors!

Okay, we did the dry run today... it's a very pretty drive and was a lot of fun... lots of straights if we choose to stretch our legs a little. 
I am going to make two modifications to the drive based on what we learned today.
i) I think we'll cut the Delaware Water Gap out of the drive - there are two bottlenecks that are a pain for traffic and I don't think that any of us would have the patience to sit there in traffic.
ii) Ask you all to bring along picnic lunches. We can grab food up there, but I think it would be much more fun to eat up at the monument and enjoy the view. If the weather is bad, then there are near-by restaurants that we can use as a Plan B.
In terms of timing, the arriving back a little after 2pm still seems reasonable. We left at 8am and arrived there at 10:15am. An early picnic lunch would get us back on the road before noon and at our end point before 2pm.
