SEBSPEED Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Sorry for the late notice all. It's that time of year again, the Fall Catskills ride is back again! We have a new location and new lodging this year! Looks like Mother Nature may have some mercy on us this year as well! A special note... it has come to my attention that over the last few years there are members here who have chosen not to attend one or more of my rides because of the presence of one individual. I find this bothersome and so I would like to (finally) publicly say: Dino, you are not invited. Please do not come to my rides. I know this sounds horrible to those "not in the know" and I apologize for that. I can live with that if it means that the people I value more will attend. Please accept my apology for the airing of grievances, and read on for ride details... ---------------------------------------------------------- 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: Red Ranch Motel 4555 Route 32 Catskill, N.Y. 12414 Info: 518-678-3380 Reservations: 1-800-962-4560 http://www.redranchmotel.com/ ***Room rates are a bit higher than last year, holiday rate applies.*** ***Also, due to the holiday weekend, there is a 2-night minimum charge*** Friday night = $78.00 + tax. (2 double beds) Saturday night = $78.00 + tax (2 double beds) -or- Friday night = $88.00 + tax. (2 queen beds) Saturday night = $88.00 + tax (2 queen beds) This rate is for 1 or 2 people per room, no extra charges for 2nd person. ***Smoking & Non-Smoking available, only 6 smoking rooms total*** ***This motel does not offer any breakfast or beverages, complimentary or otherwise.*** Some notes about this motel: - it is easy to get to from north or south - there is a decent restaurant within easy walking distance - 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. Please post in this thread if you know you are attending, or think you may be attending. 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 This is the restaurant next door: http://www.redranchmotel.com/restaurant.htm I have eaten there with my family, and we have ordered pizza numerous times. Every time it was average or better, and the prices are reasonable. I hear the breakfast is kick ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted September 6, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'm just starting to realize that making this trip is a bit father now that I'm in Cleveland and not Rochester. And I can't take Friday off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmythecop Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I wanna go, but it depends on the white-shirts on the 3rd floor at work (Who are very displeased right now with "Sgt. Timmy-not a team player-Steffes" right now) I have gotten to the point where the ride up is no big ordeal and I am sure it will be fun. Anyways it is physically impossible for it to be as wet as last year so sign up, you bastages. 1. Sebspeed 2. Mrs. Sebspeed 3. Brian (MidlifeVFR) 4. timmythecop 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

timmythecop Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I need to unveil a new pair of shoes, so I must attend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Just a quick note I forgot to include earlier - the motel is not allowing me to reserve a block of rooms, so please, call to reserve at your earliest convenience. I will edit my first post with this info later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted September 7, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 7, 2012 How will Timmmaaay's girlfreind know where to go to bum a smoke? How will the meal be delayed this year? Seriously, if you have wondered about the roads around central NY or Woodstock you should attend this ride. You could not find a better group of guys to ride with and hang out with afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEBSPEED Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 209 through Delaware Water Gap is very slow, low speed limits. Not too horrible otherwise. Keith, I'll have some ribs for you at the Cha Cha Hut. You'll be missed! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Twox48 Posted September 7, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 7, 2012 Seb, I'm going to try to work this out & will confirm in a week or so. Fingers crossed. This is one I really look forward to each year. Joe Bone for sure won't be going tho as he had his FZ6 stolen from his locked garage a few weeks back so he's without a pair of wheels at the current time...bastages!

Member Contributer KevCarver Posted September 7, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 7, 2012 Holiday weekend? Growing up in So. Fla. I had no idea Columbus Day was a holiday beyond getting a Monday off school in October. Occasionally I would get my birthday off as a result. Wasn't until The Sopranos came on that I had any idea it was actually a thing! Maybe only in NY/NJ? Pencil me in. 1. Sebspeed 2. Mrs. Sebspeed 3. Brian (MidlifeVFR) 4. timmythecop 5. YoshiHNS 6.
