    PA. NY. NJ. or the NE ride

    We may be putting together a ride for this coming memorial day weekend for any bodies who might be available and interested. Of course Weather permitting!
    We are open to suggestions. Some possible destinations have been listed under the NE weather thread but please feel free to suggest some.

    I've spent most my money on Motorcycles and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    We could do that but that road down there can be a real traffic bottleneck, especially on a holiday weekend. Then again I do like crabs!

    Yes this is a great site.

    I enjoyed their report on the PA Route 6 ride. It's one of the rides I suggested. I've done it a couple of times many years ago but never knew about all the eateries suggested by the reviewers who rated 6 the best bike road in PA. This is the road we'll be taking out to the Elk Park later in August to hear the bugling. Give it a read.

    Need training on that whole "Lunch" thing...

    I need to get into that "lunch" thing more....
    Yesterday started at 0600, rode from PCola to NAS Meridian, coached the Advanced Rider Course Range from 1100-1430, then rode back to PCola, arriving home at 1845.
    441 miles, mostly on Hwy 45, which is 2 then 4 lane, then coming home on the Friday before a long weekend, with all the traffic heading to PCola (now a huge LGBT Memorial Day weekend destination), that 441 miles took all of 8 hours.

    Oh yeah...lunch? Two bottles of Gatorade, and two protein bars.
    Not exactly a culinary extravaganza.....
    I need training....
    Cheers,
    Steve

    We had a great day. I clocked 320. Lunch wasn't great, just a pizza, but Maz is great to ride with. I only got us lost at the end. She saw familiar territory and took over! I have one more day to tackle before rain Monday.
