The Piedmont Driving Club was formed in 1982 for the Northern Virginian carriage driving enthusiast to enjoy monthly carriage outings, driving competition, educational clinics, and participation in fun community events. Our pleasure picnic drives are held on quiet gravel roads in the beautiful foxhunting countryside of Loudoun, Fauquier, and Clarke Counties, Virginia. We host the oldest annual ADS rated driving show on the East Coast, and driving clinics are scheduled throughout the season, offering a wide range of educational opportunities from understanding wheel care to learning proper turnout. Membership runs from January 1st to December 31st, and includes all club activity announced by our monthly newsletter. Picnic drives are held from April to November, weather permitting. In 2009 the PDC will be hosting a "Traditional Day of Driving" in May We are delighted to offer this wonderful day of carriages and classic driving and invite all our members and driving friends to come join in the fun. Information on this type of event can be found on the Carriage Association of America's website. We will be updating our site soon on the details for the PDC event. The Piemont Driving Club is a member club of the Carriage Association of America (CAA) and the American Driving Society (ADS)
