Next Sunday the 24th.
Meet in Danbury at Panera Bread (the old Marcus Dairy) at 8AM and head up RT22 and across Rt9 through Bennington VT, after a "Wahoo" lunch we'll ride down RT100 and RT8 through MA back into CT.
It is a bit over 3 hours without stops and depending on how many come along I will have at least 2 stops along the way. That should get us there right about Noon.

I'm in
Wow, I sure miss Marcus Dairy, that was a great place.
Sounds like a nice ride. Have great time.
Well that just figures, lol. I have work this coming Sunday, but I hope for good weather and good times for you guys.

The "Dairy" is missed by many and nothing like it was, but there are still a few dozen bikes that still show up every Sunday.
You guys are going right by my casa....unfortunately, this weekend I have a wedding in Tallahassee. So I wish you good weather/good ride and hope to catch you soon for another ride

We are usually parked along the right side.
P.S.
if you see a Green Valkyrie Trike then follow her. A friend from up near Boston is also riding along with us.
I was close lolQuote:

Have a safe and enjoyable ride.
Time to get off the pc, shower and hit the road! See you guys in a couple, three hours!
Dan, great ride today, met some nice people too. Got home around 7:45, 535 miles. RT20 was tedious, only with all the traffic lights. Still better than sitting on a highway, bumper to bumper.
Hoping to make it...see how my daughter is feeling.
Always good to ride with you Wayne. I'm glad you enjoyed the ride.Quote:

There isn't one! On a Sunday evening, going home, you're in for a long haul. The bike is the savior! The last hour or so, I turned off the music and just listened to that baby hum. Made the last leg enjoyable. What direction did the scooter gal go? She kept going west with you guys. I thought she would take 9, or 20 east.Quote:

Shortly after you swung off on 20 we got caught behind a slow moving car and were too far back to pass. Only 35-40 in a 45 for almost 10 miles. That took a lot of fun out a nice road.
Anybody riding this weekend? Saturday's weather isn't looking bad.
I have a slight window from say 12:30-4. Doesn't bode well for a long ride for me.
I only have Sundays off. I work Monday - Saturday unless I have something special going on and know ahead of time.
I might risk a rain shower or two and go to NH tomorrow. Ride with my sons cousin.
