There's a couple of places to eat within about 20 mins of the NY or PA border or we could adjust the meeting point to somewhere in the middle of the furthest two who want to attend, I'm pretty flexible on the meeting point. I was thinking sometime within the next two months, I personally don't like to start out in anything much less than around 40deg. or so.
Sounds good to me. Let's pick a day(hopefully a Sunday) and see what happens.
We just returned home from and 8 day jaunt into WV and Southeastern Ohio. The wind on Friday was interesting on the highway to say the least, but nothing like the Great Plains.
Nesty, gpzTurbo, frankly. were are you located?
Ken, where in NY are you?
Alright, below are the rest of us as of right now.
What do you guys think: Somerset, Hunterdon areas? There are some nice scenic hill roads in that area. We can also ride up to Delaware water gap.
Today's ride started with a 30 mi run on backroads to get to the Hampton Diner in Newton for bfst (about 10 mi as the crow flies), then 519 to 23 through High Point into Port Jervis NY to 97 through Hawk's Nest to 590(PA) into Hawley PA to 390 S. to 447 S. to 611 to 46 E.(back in NJ). About 200 mi round trip, it took about 6 hrs. with a few stops including breakfast and coffee/pee stops.
dang, man, I took a "long lunch" and did my first run through up through 94 to 23 to 519 N then back 519 S to 206 S and back to work.
519 S seemed to be a bit more challenging than the section of 519 N after 6 and 84. I've heard 608 is good and 517. About 130 miles total, my "long lunch" was about 3 and a 1/2 hours.
Niagara Falls is awesome but that's a LONG ride for the NJ folks, Duke.
I did a meetup with northeastern ST1300 riders a few years ago in Cobleskill, NY. It's close to some great riding roads in the Catskill Mountains and just east of Cooperstown NY (Baseball Hall of Fame). It's about four hours from Trenton and Rochester, so pretty much in the middle. It would be an overnight but so would any destination that's central to most NJ, NY, and PA riders. Just a thought....
I like the area of Somerset, Hunterdon a ride up to Delaware water gap would be good. I recently rode a route from the gap down to Easton that is pretty good too.
Nesty, for some reason google doesn't like 07954 zip code?
Anyway,
so far we got 11 guys. Ken is not shown on the map, if I zoom out, he makes the rest of us look like we are all in one spot
We all know he is coming from Rochester, NY. Nesty is somewhere here, between NJ and NY, his zip doesn't come up. Also gpzTurbo isn't shown, he is somewhere close to Philly.
Since RMB started this thread, he has the honors to propose the spot and date .:idea2:
drew and gpz, we can meet somewhere in Central Jersey and ride up there together if you wish.
