Coffee Runs Update – Sept 2021

New Coffee Run coming up in October

We have a new Coffee Run coming up in October. CVR member Mark Mahoney is putting together a run that will take place in the Fairfield and Litchfield counties of Connecticut. The run will be on October 10th. The details are being finalized. Registration for the run will open on Tuesday, October 5th at 7pm. All the info will be on the CVR website calendar in the near future. Thank you to Mark for volunteering and for James Ball for helping Mark with his first event.

2021 Boardwalk Reunion – Saturday, October 16th, 2021

This event is a collaboration between PCA Zone 1 and Zone 2. All Porsches and Porsche owners are welcome at the second annual Boardwalk Reunion at Ocean City, New Jersey.

See the calendar for more info and how to register: click here


On each Coffee Run there are a couple of volunteering opportunities in support of the PCA Driving Tour Standards:
Sweeper: Be the last car in the line and assist any participants who may encounter car or health difficulties, advising the tour/group leader if vehicles became separated from the group.
Observer’s Report: Submit the PCA Observer’s Report – it takes about 10 minutes to fill out the form on the PCA website.  Instructions will be provided. Please contact the Coffee Run lead if you would like to volunteer.

We will again this year have a form to register for each Coffee Run but instead of using Constant Contact we will be using a form that will be located in the Challenge Event Calendar for each Coffee Run. The registration form goes live at 7 pm on the Tuesday prior to the Coffee Run.


RidewithGPS NAVIGATION PHONE APP

Through the generosity of Hagerty Insurance, a RidewithGPS navigation app club account is available to all CVR members.

It is highly recommended that everyone participating in a driving tour get the app and access to the CVR club account.

The RidewithGPS app provides turn-by-turn directions during the Coffee Run on your smartphone. The details on how to set up the app can be found here  – click here.

Important Note(s):
Please complete all the setup steps below prior to the Coffee Run or Tour that will be using the app (it will take a few days to get through the membership approval process). It will not be possible to set it up on the morning of the event.  Routes will typically be available for downloading from a few days prior to the event until the day of the event.
