If anybody is in the Eastern PA area, I want to know if anyone knows any cruise worthy roads in the area of Westchester county/ King of Prussia/ Valley Forge. I don't know the area that well as I'm from New Jersey so that's as best description I can give you but my friend lives in that area and I was gonna spend sometime out there with him and I wanted to know if anybody knew some sweet roads in a reasonable distance from there?
Here's a sweet bimmer for your trouble.

the area immediately around valley forge - KOP is a bit too populated for what youre looking for. i think. also, i think you mean chester county.
to find what youre looking for, i'd suggest going west of the town of West Chester.
look at a map at the area west of 202, north of 1, and south of 30. i often just go tool around in there for a couple of hours, with no real destination. lots of rolling hills, horse farms and forrests.

Gotcha and thank you! He actually lives in the area around Spring City and the last time I was there we spent about 4 hours driving around back roads aimlessly and being from south New Jersey where the roads are nothing to be excited about, I had an absolute blast!

During the NE Oppo meet, we drove around some roads near Hawks Nest. MountainCommand can give you a better route but those are some great roads.

This is what you are looking for...
842 West out of WC, then keep going, 841 is great...the area around Unionville is great, you'll figure it out, turn off on small roads...

You're looking for the roads in Chester county that surround Radnor Hunt. Go on google maps and you'll see what I mean. It's between the main line and West Chester. You don't want to go toward KoP or Valley Forge. Too much mall crap up there. You want horse country.
A few years ago our BMW CCA chapter did take a back roads drive from valley forge park up to the Japanese pagoda in Reading and the last bit of road was basically a hill climb stage. Man that was awesome, but I couldn't recreate it. Although, I may have the written directions around here somewhere...
Anyway, you're coming to my town basically so let me know if you need any other recommendations!

I spent some time looking around on google maps and 242 looks pretty fun. Curvy but flowy enough you can maintain a decent speed and for the most part is not interrupted in any sort of way. All trees around you.

If you can maybe screen cap a general direction in which the trip headed on google maps so that I might stumble upon it too I would be grateful!

I found the full list of directions, complete with my girlfriend's ridiculous notes about what song was playing or what animals she spotted. I'll PDF it to you if you give me your email!

The area around New Hope/Doylestown is where I have done several drives with the local Lotus group and the Bucks County Exotics Group.
