Americade 17

[ReserveBum]

Hard to believe but Americade is only a month away!
Anyone going, let me know and we'll set something up

There was some talk of meeting the day before to beat the crowds for a ride. I have a planned day off to make it. If this is something anyone wants to do, I'm in. I could arrange a different day, but I'm looking at keeping it a one day thing.

Every year I go up but just for the day. Always depends on work but usually Wed or Thurs.

A few of us will head out in the AM and take the scenic way up either RT7 or RT22 to Cambridge and then across to 87 for the last 15miles into Lake George, with a couple stops along the way up that takes just under 4 hrs to get there. We take a quick walk around the Vendors (one of us always needs some little thing) and walk up to Main St for Lunch and head back. That is all I ever have time for but it takes pretty much all day.

I'm not into that walking around crap...but I do want to ride! I'll follow and see what happens. You know I have no problem starting early and riding all day.

Hope to be there but not with big red. Hoping to take a couple of vintage bikes for display and ride.

My current plan is to ride up 209-N to the thruway on Wed. or Thur. morning (depending on the weather).
I plan to depart Metamoris rest area 6:30 am arriving in Lake George around 11 am. This should allow for 1 "P" stop, gas, and coffee.
Then take in the vendors area (I need a new pair of riding gloves) don't forget there is a second vendors area up at the farm that's been growing in size every year.
Then have a late lunch before heading home.
If I'm too tired to ride all the way home after doing all that walking and drinking all that coffee I may stay over one night at the Landmark Inn. It's a nice reasonable little 110 room motel with an indoor and outdoor pool complete with a hot tub and free breakfast.
While there we could put together a meeting spot and co-ordinate via phone.
But it's all flexible!

I wouldn't mind meeting Dan either in Danbury or further north, but Matamoras at 6:30 ain't happening! I could ride directly to Lake George and try to meet up. I have a physical scheduled on Wednesday, so that's out for me...let's see what happens for Thursday. I'm still open for the Monday before too.
