SEBSPEED Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Sorry for the late notice all. It's that time of year again, the Fall Catskills ride is back! We have a new location and new lodging this year! Please post in this thread if you know you are coming for sure or think you might be coming. ---------------------------------------------------------- Due to the unfortunate decline of the motel we used in the past, we have selected a new location that shows promise. Here is the hotel info: (ask for the VFRD group rate, Confirmation #2454, I set this up with a guy named Brian) 87 Motel 403 Main Street (Route 299) New Paltz, NY 12561 Information: 845-255-9220 Reservations: 1-800-879-8787 http://www.87motel.com/index.html ***Room rates are a bit higher than last year. Friday night = $70.98 + tax. Saturday night = $103.38 + tax Total for both nights, tax included, = $191.80 -24hr cancellation policy- ***You must call in your reservation and mention the confirmation code listed above to get the discounted price!*** ***Smoking & Non-Smoking available*** ***All the rooms are the same price(king bed and double beds available)*** Cold continental breakfast is included, as are towels, toiletries, pillows, blankets, etc. Some notes about this motel: - it is located directly off the Thruway(I-87) - all rooms were renovated this spring, about 6 months ago - I am copycatting this location from a ride that some guys on CB1100F.net held this spring, and they were satisfied with the place - there is a decent restaurant and a gas station within easy walking distance (200ft!) - it is close to some good area roads ----------------------------------------------------------- Not only is this thread good for counting heads, but it would be a good way to get together with someone to share a room. List of attendees so far: (blue is with reservation) 1. Sebspeed 2. Mrs. Sebspeed 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Please keep general discussions about this ride in this thread: Thanks! More details coming, please stay tuned and ask any questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Here is the info for the diner next door. I will be in contact with them soon to work out a group price for breakfast & dinners. Of course, there are other options as well, New Paltz is a pretty good size town. This place seems good and is only 200ft from the motel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEBSPEED Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Due to Hurricane Irene, many of the roads in the general vicinity of our previous rides have suffered damages. This area is (as I type this) suffering from the effects of another storm and after 4 days of steady rain we are experiencing more flooding. THE SHOW WILL GO ON! As a result of all this, we are compiling new routes that include the same type of roads you all keep coming back for, year after year. We have shifted the entire ride south to avoid the worst of the damage. Ultimately, I will not be able to post routes and gps tracks prior to the event. I will try my best. As always, I will be requesting volunteers to cover some lead and sweep duties - this year these kind folks may carry the extra responsibility of leading their groups with printed turn-by-turn directions. I apologize for the somber tone this post might convey, I think the weather may finally be getting to me... but have no fear! VFR people are the best people, and we always manage to have a great time!! I look forward to seeing lots of faces both new and old!! Cheers! -Seb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be calling there to find out why that is, that's not what I had worked out with him. I won't be able to call until later this afternoon, but I will post up what I find out.

I called back just now and still don't think they understand. I left my cell phone number for Brian to call me back. I recommend you grab a beer and prepare to call several times to get someone on the line, then speak slowly and be patient, and you just might get a room.

Keith, you are not the only one... and I even spoke with Brian. Maybe it had to do with me calling at 0615, mayhaps he was not yet awake...

SEBSPEED Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Say, Seb, did you inquire about a fire pit? Beverages in the parking lot, and other such sundries? They have a "BBQ stand", whatever that means... they are cool with parking lot bevvies, not sure what they'll say if we make our own fire pit... For those of you that are trailering in, if you could bring some lawn chairs that would be great. I don't think this place has chairs outside like the Franklin does.
