It is hard to believe it is already October. Time seemed to accelerate this year once CVR started having events for us to enjoy. We are in the middle of some of the best driving weather of the year to wrap up our season. We have three remaining Coffee Runs this year. One of the runs is new and put together by Mark Mahoney. We have the very popular Kent Falls run. We have the Early Bird – Mystic to Plainfield, CT on Halloween.
Coffee Run Spooktacular
We are looking to do a group picture at the Early Bird – Mystic to Plainfield run in the spirit of Halloween. We ask that you bring a Halloween mask to wear for the photo. We hope to submit the photo for the “From the Regions” section in Panorama.
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.

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.
