Well my wife just told me she is painting all day and that I should go out and ride. So I am taking her advice, don't want to argue I was thinking about heading down that way, so I am probably up for it. |

I was going to head down that way, but the simple upgrade for a customer last night turned into 5 hours of babysitting, so i didn't get to sleep till 3:30 instaead of the 11 that I was supoosed, so If I was to head that way I wouldn't be there till noon. Not sure who is going to be arounrd so probably will hang out up this way. Maybe next time. Or if it is decent tomrrow I will come down. -Patrick |

"up for sunday morning though" Yeah me too. I got this rotten new problem on saturday mornings, it's called employment. I liked things a whole lot better without the day job! Anyhow, lets make day of it tomorrow. Perhaps we can go north, maybe Doon will offer to be our tour guide and show us this Ion Gorge he speaks so highly of. |

Hey guys i live about 20 miles north of Albany. I have to watch my step daughter till 12:30. Let me know where you guys will be and i would like to meet up and ride along. That is if you would like another rider. If you guys stop give me a call around 12:30 / 1:00 to meet you somewhere. Cell - (717) 586-4226 Paul |

If you guys are coming up north where do you want to meet? I have a friend that wants to join us on an X1. The ilion gorge is about 200 miles from Bear Mountain. so I not sure how far you all ride in a day (i just got back from a 425 mile ride throug the North Country and the Adirondacks). If you want we could meet at the Roscoe Diner, Take 30 up around the reservoir (Since I Want to show my friend down there). Then we can go up Rt 10 over towards cooperstown, take rt 80 up and then backroads over to Rt 51 (the gorge). After riding on Rt 218 I hope it isn't a let down. BUt The reason I like riding around here is that it is almost all country.. Let me know what you want to do. I am up for just about anything (famous last words) either PM me or respond here I will check before I go to bed and first thing in the morning. -Patrick |

Doon, I'm leaning toward riding up north. I see that MikeXlr posted that he'll be at perkins 8:30 AM. I'm perkins'd out, I need a change from the bear mtn/218 thing. I guess what I'll do is shoot up to the tower around 8 AM and see who wants to go north. By 8:30-8:45 I'll head north. I got your friend(paw's) # written down and perhaps I'll call him when I get to roscoe or downsville. Then we could meet somewhere. If you read this before you leave in the morning, and you have a mobile/celular # where you can be reached, PM or e-mail it to me(or post it if that kind of thing doesn't bother you) so that I can call you as well. I would have tried to call Mike, but it's after 11 PM as I'm writing this, so I'll find him in the morning. Fritz ( fritzsaintmire@msn.com or saintlycycles@verizon.net ) |

Saintly. I emailed ya. Roscoe is about the same distance from my house as it si from Bear Mountain. So If you give me a call or a shout when you are leaving I will meet you There (the Diner is an easy place to meet and we can figure out where to go from there. Actually I will probably head down that way anyways. So I will be in rosoce around 10:30 or so and will hang out for a while. |

Fritz.. Here was your message On my cell: "Hi Doon, its fritz. ... . click". Friggin cell phones.I had to drive 40-50 miles to actually get service on my nextel and by that time it was 2pm. I went down to the Diner, Got there at 10:15, ate breakfast, hung out till 11:15 or so . Got antsy. Rode down to downsville and then back. SInce I wasn't sure if you got my messages I figured maybe I would run into you if you came up 28 or some other way. Got back to the Diner around 11:45, hung till 12:15 or so (all with no cell phone coverage). Then went back up and hung out at that little rest area near the bridge across the pepacton for a while. Saw tons of bikes but alas I was the only Buell. Then I took the real long way back home. I was mapping out roads to go on if/when we get to meet up. So I am bummed we didn't get to meet up, but I now know the way I am going to take you. After running the gorge (twice) I got passed by a guy on an electraglide, he was hauling.. 108 and I still didn't catch up to him.. So all in all 438 miles.. -Patrick |

Sorry I couldn't make it. I was busy with 150 miles of switchbacks, decreasing radius turns, and major elevation changes here in WV.

Doon, I'm sorry man. They didn't open the gates to the tower till nearly 9 AM, and then some of the guys didn't show till 9:15. That's when I called you to let you know that there was no way would make it to roscoe by 10:30. I called around 9:15 so you wouldn't waste your time waiting around for us. I feel bad that you ended up doing just that. I guess next weekend we'll have to plan a bit more ahead of time. We ended up riding out to Connecticut today, which was a nice change. |

Ahh no big deal. I had a nice breakfast and met some nice people, and had a good ride. total for the weekend was about 860 or so. Next weekend I will be out of town. But the weekend after that I should be around (Well I will make sure I am around). There is not reason we need to meet at roscoe either, just figured the diner is a pretty easy landmark. And don't feel bad about having me wait around. It didn't slow me down a bit, and gave me an excuse to ride around the pepacton a couple of times, which is never bad thing. removed screenshot of gps stuff that was here..
