LoVel - Are you guys coming up to the bash this summer? If so, I have a question for you about your return trip connected with a possible ride I'd be doing in the Ozarks right after the Bash. Right now, it's in the planning/dream stage.

Spad,

I'll take any riding information I can get.

Gerry -

The routing information from last year's ride is at:

http://lrlr.org/node/1326

My personal favorite parts of the ride took place in West Virginia (Day 3 & 4), for the mountains and twisty roads, as well as on my way back to VT through PA (talk to Alan about where to go in PA, he had great suggestions for me). Delaware was also beautiful, in a very different way. There wasn't a bad day's riding in the whole trip.

There's a different route each year, each lasting about a week of 150-300 mile days, and they have posted on that site the routes from past years. They tend to be routed on nice roads in beautiful parts of the country so it's a great resource.

Good luck!

Here's hoping they're minor and utterly surmountable, whether they affect your attendance or not. Give my best to Robin.

+1 on what Jim said. Hopefully the new issues are nothing too serious.

I hope things work out in your favor and am hoping for all the best for you. It was awesome to see you both at Vintage Fest/Dealer Conference - a fantastic surprise!

That was pretty cool. I have to admit I recognized the attractive young lady you were with first. My first thought was, I know her, then I thought, wait a minute, she's from Vermont.

I hate to bounce you guys around with daily changes but Robin has been released to go back to work. Not allowed to drive yet but may be able to in 3 weeks. We wait hopefully.

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. Always much appreciated

Hey folks,

After missing last year, a bunch of NYC RATs, vets from BTB 4, 5, & 6, are planning on returning this year. If you didn't hear, I went down hard on ice out in Allegheny National Forest, had my '13 800 Roadie written off, and am awaiting a new Tiger, probably the XRx. Expect a pair of 1050 Tigers and a trio of Bonnevilles to be along and we are planning on camping this year with our great friends the CT Rockers.

Just 124 days to go!
