I'm wondering if there are any hard-core AZ members in this area... I never get even one response when I post regarding these GTGs [az] .... ok well 1 more time:

With the incredible response on local sites such as Verwustung and Delaware Valley Audi Group (DVAG), combined with the big boys such as: VWvortex, Fourtitude, and AudiWorld.... the organizers of this GTG have taken steps to ensure proper parking for the masses we're now expecting.

A new location has been chosen & you should definitely be psyched for this GTG.

PLEASE BRING MOTOROLA or OTHER BRAND WALKIE TALKIES. CHANNEL 3.0
If you don't have any, go get some! They're VERY cheap these days and make the cruises a lot more fun.

Also bring water, maybe snacks, tons of memory for your digital camera, video cameras, and don't forget your skateboard, FDR Park is on the map for skateboarding in the U.S.

ONCE YOU'RE INSIDE FDR PARK
The park's roads all go counter-clockwise. So when you enter, you will make a right.
Eventually you'll pass by parking lot for the FDR Golf Club.
TURN RIGHT at the STOP SIGN. This puts you on the drive that circumnavigates Meadow Lake and the rest of the park.
Stay on this road until you're riding right alongside the overpass. Look for a skate park. You'll see the mini ramp and Vert ramp on your right.
