Anyone think of the "Ride to the sky" during "Bike week" in NH, they close Mt Washington auto road to all but Bike traffic..   A bunch of us do it evey year..   ride NH - shoot the kangamagus highway (twisties), lunch at the base of Mt Washington, then ride to the summit..

That ride seems cool.  I'm gonna look at the details and see what's up.  Since vacation days are limited, I've gotta be selective about what rides I can make.

As for getting together with everyone, I figure I'll post up when I'm headed into the Poconos or will ask if anyone's down to ride randomly.  Hopefully I'll get to meet a few of you guys, as it seems we have a good community here.

In the meanwhile, ride safe everyone!

I'd be interested in the first half of June. I'm going down to Binghamton on May 20th. I'm doing Saulte St Marie/Grand Rapids/Port Huron on June 23/24. I'm trying to do a trip to Montreal as soon as possible. Then in August I'm doing a Northeast tour with my squeeze. Dang, I sure hope the weather gets better.

Early June works. Anyday of the week except Thursday. I work more than one day a week but Thursday evening id the only shift I can't flex.

June 11th look good for anyone?  If it rains, perhaps the 12th...  Port Jervis or Milford may be kind of central for everyone.  

I'll be out there regardless.

Nope - I have family coming in that weekend.  The following weekend could be a possibility for me.

Slightly Off Topic

You guys in the NE have the best roads anywhere. I was down to Corning and Elmira a week ago and I thought this would be a great spot to live – there are no straight roads anywhere.

I agree.  I live 20 minutes from Elmira and now that I have a decent bike, I'm staring to explore.  Went around lake Seneca Saturday (no I didn't stop at the vinyards, that would be nothin' but trouble :beers: ).  The main roads were great for cruising, but if you get off the beaten path a little there are some nice twisties.  One thing to be careful of in this area, if you cross into PA, the roads are not maintained as well, potholes and gravel everywhere :shock:

Happy riding :motorsmile:
