    PA Mts. Fall color ride Oct 9.

    Just thought I would throw it out there to see if there's any interest in putting together an October ride through the Pocono mountains during what should be the height of the fall colors. If so I'll start working on a route, schedule, and menu.
    Lets see now it only took 3 months to pull off the spring ride. We already have our first hints of color so the window of opportunity is limited to either the 9 or 16 of October. Then too you all know I don't ride in the rain.

    Bob, put me in for a maybe...that's all I can say right now. More likely that I'll have to pass though.

    Winter Migration

    I'll be departing Pa. for Florida mid October! I get the full effects of the Fall Foliage from Pa. thru Maryland, Virginia and portions of N.C.

    Keep us posted on a actual date

    I don't see anything on my calendar for the 9th so I'm in.
    I've spent most my money on Motorcycles and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    I've been thinking about the possible routes and things that may be of interest to the group. One thing that came to mind was a possible stop I make every year at a honey farm in the back hills. It seems they like to empty their heated tanks every fall and shut them down. So they run an end of year sale. Last year I paid $4.25 to fill a 16 oz. mason bottle with my choice of 3 varieties. All are totally natural with no additives. You do have to bring your own clean bottles. I bought 10 bottles for myself and friends. They all asked to double their orders for this year. I opened my last bottle a week ago.

    I like to sip honey tea with my apple pie in early winter by the fire place!

    You got that weather thing right!!!

    Last weekend I did the Bloomsburg Fair thing and ate myself into a belly ache with fair food. Thankfully we got back to the Hotel at 6:30 and I settled my stomach with a prime rib dinner. I had forgotten how good they make a rib with their home made horseradish on the side. But it was a perfect day for riding weather wise just a bit cool in the morning. By noon it was in the 70's

    This weekend the plan was for the Garlic festival. The weather forecast is not looking too good right now and you know smart retired people don't ride in the rain. So I think I'll be following their advise.

    Hopefully by the 9th the weather will clear but the morning temps. maybe a problem. How cold is too cold for you to ride in?

    Should we meet at our usual spot off I-84 ?

    Heated Gloves and Heated Vest along with my "winter windshield" and I'm good to go. The PA welcome center works for me.

    I'm not worried about the cold...if you old guys are riding, I'm riding.

    Rain, well, that changes things...nothing worse than cold rain!
