SEBSPEED Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 How long am I making the ride route? I'm thinking around 175-225? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayv3 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I average 180-200 miles on my normal Sunday ride but I'm sure at a much more relaxed pace. I'm good for what ever everyone decides on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin (VFRAustin) 5.Tyson (twitte) 6.Grayson (Grayv3) 7. Rice 8. 9. 10. Anyone else? For so few people, I may downsize the plans a bit. So, if you're thinking of coming, please post up! Thanks! Gah. I'll be in NJ for a wedding prep. Boo. Riding has been crud for me this year. The only riding I've done is bicycling events - AngelRide & Jim Calhoon in CT and the Josh Billings RunAground in the Berkshires MA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted October 3, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted October 3, 2013 Would be nice. Why did I move back to cleveland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 I know there has been a bunch of behind-the-scenes planning. I want to stress that if anyone is lurking, thinking of coming, please let me know because at this point the meet location may change as we may not need the motel. Those that are coming, what are your thoughts on meeting place tomorrow evening, and time? Are we doing dinner? "Safety meeting"? Both? Discuss...

Grayv3 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'll be arriving between 7 & 7:30 depending on traffic. I think a dinner meeting combo sounds good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Then again if everyone is rolling in later tomorrow, maybe we just meet early for breakfast on Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer vfrAustin Posted October 4, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted October 4, 2013 Then again if everyone is rolling in later tomorrow, maybe we just meet early for breakfast on Saturday? Sounds right. Does that new Barn place near you serve breakfast? The place that was a DQ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer vfrAustin Posted October 4, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted October 4, 2013 Just to recap the Jersey posse. Tyson and I are taking the long way up to my parents house up in the Catskills. Getting turns in. We should get there before dark. Grayson is south of us and has to leave later but he is going to slab it up 87. Grayson, It is going to be around four hours for you depending on traffic. Really watch for dear after you turn off on to 145. There is a detour before East Durham, just best to follow it and get back on 145 toward the address I sent you. At night it may be hard to find the house. Do not hesitate to call my cell and I will hop on the bike to get you. Just easier than searching around after a long ride.

Member Contributer midlifeVFR Posted October 4, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'm meeting Dmitry around 8:00 tonight....we'll probably grab dinner and will have a couple of beers. We will be staying in saugerties tonight and probably again Saturday night. Can meet anywhere and any time Saturday morning. The weather looks mostly cloudy, warm and dry Saturday. I'm looking forward to it!! Have a safe trip north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of you guys have fun and assign someone to take photos for those of us who cant make it this year. Mother Nature is a dirty Ken-word. We will try. We've had beautiful dry weather for 2 weeks, and now it is going to rain until 11am tomorrow. What say you all to a later start... meet at 10am at Betty's Too in Leeds for brunch? That way the roads can dry a little, supposed to clear up a bit for the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEBSPEED Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Just reviewed the weather situation again... although it is moist out right now, it looks like we will have no rain for the day. 0-10% chance in all the waypoints... nice... going out to the shop now to get my stuff together. See you at Betty's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
