    I'm of the same thinking as Bob. I ride up to Lake George for lunch and to ride the nice roads often, so when Americade is on I go for the rally. 3 1/2- 4hr hr ride depending on the chosen route, walk the vendors area and then walk up into town to eat and ride home.

    I usually try for a Thursday (the 8th this year) but keep it open for weather.

    I will keep an eye on this thread to see how it all plays out.
    I've spent most my money on Motorcycles and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    Be aware!!
    We are in the usual Americade weather pattern that forced Noah into selling his bike, buying a boat, and joining the yacht club!

    Which route do you take up? Do you know of a good place to stop for cheese danish ?

    Would you happen to know where I can find a giraffe and a donkey to fill out my crew?

    I usually run up RT7 and 22 until Cambridge and then into the little roads (372 & 32)
    No "great" Cheese Danish up there.

    I'll stay away from the Donkey jokes....

    Checked this morning's weather forecast, they have at least rain showers forecasted for every day through Friday. Saturday is the only dry day but it's also crowd day. I think I'll use the luxury of the retirement card and play it day by day.
    Next week is looking better for Laconia.

    I may head to Laconia this Saturday with a Honda Shadow and a Harley. I don't discriminate. I hope to ride more than walk....
