Sunday Sept 12th Catskills,Upstate NY, Westpoint,Woodstock

[mznyc]

Tried this before but work and weather have thwarted previous attempts.

I am off on Sunday September 12th and would like to host a get together and ride in the beautiful Mid-Hudson Valley Region.

The plan would be to get together early on Sunday morning ,8-9 ish, do a 150-200 mile ride,almost all twisties,lunch midday and get back to the Thurway(probably exit 18 Kingston) about 5-6 pm so anyone coming from a 50-100 mile distance can get home by 7-8 ish.

Anyone who can come up Saturday night, we can meet up have dinner look over maps and tell lies.

Many affordable motels in the area and if it worked out to be less than a 3-4 people you could stay at my house,in Accord NY,about 20 mins from New Paltz.

I would still like to do a Foliage Weekend but am usually busy in October but this would be a good test to see if we could pull it off,maybe mid October,peak leaf colors,if it works out.

Hi, That sounds like a great plan, coming off the Island, more details needed. New Palts about 2 hours from me. Ed

Hi Ed,

I'll adjust route and meet time when we get a final head count.Meet at one of the exits of the Thurway or motel,I have a few suggestions, if anyone stays up on Saturday night.i have to work on Saturday but will back back about 6pm so i could meet for dinner if anyone comes up early.

Hope you can make it,

Michael

Ya Chris it's a shame that the Beemer crowd embarrasses our group by how many gatherings they do all around the country.A V11 specific group,(but any would be welcome in my eyes),would be a very cool thing, as I don't know if there's been one in the Northeast.Being able to pull off one as an annual event,especially during fall with a color show unique to the area and perfect riding temps could be special.

Hey if we can pull 2-3 guys together,I would consider that a success.

Hoping Hal,JRT,Tomm,ryland,falconlion,guzzimoto,aermacchi among others will be able to make it,,...

Weather permitting I am definitely a game. I might cut out a bit earlier but if we get together by about 10-10:30 am then 150 miles should take about no more then 3 hours and that would put us around 3 pm. I would prefer to get the loop set up so we end up close to a starting point or as close to Bear mountain as possible. Its only another 1-1:30 to get back to Brooklyn. If we get evn earlier that would be nice and I can make it home by no later then 5pm. I pretty much used my Guzzi exclusively for the last 1.5 months and I am in the Bear mountain region every Sunday for the last 1.5 months

I would be happy to meet new people

When Jude and I were in the area about ten days ago I saw a V11 flash past us in upstate NY just after we'd crossed over from Vermont on the ferry. One of ony a few Guzzis I saw on the trip apart from at the DY rally and when I met Guzzi folks. I think it was a Lemans or a Greyish 'Naked'. Any of you lot??

Not me Pete,I'm about a 100+ miles sounth down the Hudson.

I think my friend Mark with a black Eldo met you at the rally.Unfourtunately I had to work that weekend.If your ever in the area again you'll always have an offer of beer, barbie,or bed,..

PS did you sell the Scura?

Hi Vlad,

Good to see she's been treating you good.

Hope you can make it.

We won't be able to run 150-200 miles in 3 hours.You would have to run 50mph with no stops for 3 hrs to do that.We would be running mostly twisty stuff.With stops and average speed we would probably average 25 mph and believe me the pace would be fun,but add in a lunch and I think 8hrs is reasonable.

I'll send out some PM's today in case some of the locals have missed the thread and once we have a head count and every one voices what they want and times they have to be home, I'll propose a route.I'll start working on some Google maps routes when I get some downtime later today at work.

Keep in mind I'm an hour north of Bear Mountain,so if you rode up and back and a 6+ route you'd be looking at 10+ hour day.Not a problem for me,but I know that's not for everyone.Not to worry,I'll come up with something that I think will put a smile on all's face.

And the offer to crash at my place on Sat is open to all.Makes it a lot easier not starting the day with a 2 hour slab ride.
