SEBSPEED Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 As hot as it's been the last few days, my mind has been wandering towards cooler riding weather.... time to start planning the next Catskills Fall Ride! Same weekend as usual, the week before Columbus Day, which falls on September 30, October 1, and October 2, 2011. The hotel we've been using the last couple years has taken a turn for the worse, so we will not be returning there this year. I'm working on scouting out new places to stay and have a couple in mind already. Price may be higher, but the quality will also be 10 times better. (Let's see Trav and Becky try to break the headboard in this one, eh? ) I'm excited about this year, with Brian's (midlifevfr) help we should be scheduling a catered dinner at least one night of the week along with some special ins at some state park locations if the weather works out. As always there will be multiple ride groups, beer, food, great people, multiple route lengths to suit preferences and experience levels, great people, beer, an emphasis on fun and safety, and beer. So get your day planners out and start penciling in your plans, hope to see ya there! ------------------------------------------------------------ Please find the lodging info here: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/68610-5th-annual-fall-ride-in-the-catskills-sept-30-oct-2/page__gopid__800044#entry800044 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer NorthernVFRDave Posted July 23, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted July 23, 2011 I'd love to try and make it, riden nothing but slab since T-mac. But I'm training at work the week before and after that weekend. So that means I can't take the Friday or Monday off work. But I know my brother wants to take off for weekend of riding. So maybe I can convince him to load up the toy haller and be ready for 6PM Friday night, we could be in the area before midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer KevCarver Posted July 23, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted July 23, 2011 I'm thinking about making a trip up there, but my work schedule may or may not complicate things. What day do folks typically wrap things up and head for home? Ride on Sunday and leave on Monday, or leave for home on Sunday? CornerCarver, you heading up there?

timmythecop Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 the Catskills ride is a really fun event. If you can make it, please do so. I even nammed my dog Catskill after I attended this here gala. As an added plus......we can see Seb break out his coloured markers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Lobster Posted July 24, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted July 24, 2011 I'd like to go, but I don't have my kitchen pass stamped yet. What kind of ride groups do you normally have? I'm a pretty relaxed rider (read: slow) so if this a hard core only thing, then I'm probably not a good match. By when do we need to RSVP?

You'll find a good fit. This post was just to plant the seed, there will be info and sign up threads once we get the hotel, food, and routes ironed out.

Member Contributer Twox48 Posted July 25, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted July 25, 2011 Tell us Seb, Did you send an invite to the Dirty Tattoo'd Lesbian Librarian? Tell her Yoshi is still single & won't make the trip unless she's there!! Marking my calendar now and will wait for the proper time to get my kitchen pass signed... Fingers crossed I can make it again this year (sans the downpour on the ride out!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer y2kvfr Posted July 25, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted July 25, 2011 I can't believe Travis hasn't stopped in to make denial comments yet. Be it known that I wasn't even in the room, Beck was solo. My ex (Yay! It's official - finally after 2 years!!! whoohoo) has the kids that weekend, so Becky and I are IN! Lobster - Not to worry, there are very sedate groups! This group ride is a great time, beware those that cannot make it.
