Annual Fall Ride in Upstate New York. Come enjoy some great roads and great views!!
The last two events have been great, but I always end the day feeling like I haven't shown folks enough. I would like to do a multiple-day event this year, with an earlier "kickstands up" time on Saturday morning. Meet for breakfast and spend the day riding all kinds of roads. Scenic roads, slow roads, fast roads, twisty roads.
In the next few weeks I will be seeking out a hotel or motel to base out of, I will update this post with info as I find it. Expect lodging for a double bed cabin to range from $45-70 per night, I will try to get a group rate pending the number of interested people to keep the cost down.
I would like to see folks arriving on Friday evening with a possible dinner meet, if enough are coming early I will organize a small route or ice cream run for the evening.
Looking to make a 300-350 mile ride on Saturday the 4th. Anyone wanting to do a shorter loop, or to extend their stay for another ride is welcome to join me on Sunday for another round, with a later "kickstands up". I can easily change the length of the loop and waypoints to make meeting and departing simple.
Haven't had anyone leave disappointed yet, and this year I have scoped out more great roads! In the last couple years, the early parts of the loops have been somewhat stitched together with small roads, this year I am looking to just keep the better ones, and add some longer roads in. We will cover almost the entire Catskill park!
Emphasis on fun and safety, and, of course, lunch! :fing02: Pending the number of attendees and the spread of skill level, I may opt for more than one group again and at that point will be looking for lead & sweep volunteers. We had a couple glitches with that last year, but I know what to change to make sure it all goes very smoothly this year.
