RIDES

[matts1050]

I thought you were Alice? Inside joke. Thats about 5 hrs...hmm

[TonUp]

Longer

About 9 hours, lunch, 2 fuel stops, 2 breaks, photo op, It may be a bigger group hopefully 50 bikes. We will have to call the restaurant ahead with a head count for lunch, They can accommodate 80-90 people in one room. Cozy!

9 hrs? Wow. That's a little too much for me to be in the saddle. I'll have to pass.

[TonUp]

About 5-6 hours of saddle time, the rest is for pleasure, lunch, breaks, stops, photos........


Great roads!

I'm thinking 275 miles sounds way to long for trying to move 50 bikes.
I am sure it would take all of 9 hours to move that many bikes with gas stops, lunch
and breaks.
You are looking at almost 5 hours at a minimum 60 mph straight out and you ain't going
to move 50 bikes at that speed through the twisties.

Correct!

We leave by 9:00am be back by 6:00pm or sooner, shower, dinner, drink, dance, music, party!!!

It would take that long with 10 bikes too. I planned on making it a slower rides with a few fast sections.

Personally I'm not interested in going on a 50 bike ride, especially if we're talking about riding the twisties.

Along with the "guided" rides, there's plenty of roads to explore. People can go off on their own in small groups, take suggestions from others for rides, etc. You could even ride Tito's ride backwards and just wave to the group when you pass

[TonUp]

We can also break it up into smaller groups of 12-15 bikes each, We have enough Champlain Valley RATS pack members that can lead a group and we can meet at lunch or on different parts of the ride.

Or like Benny said you can do your own thing, plenty of great roads to ride on. I myself prefer to ride with one or two more riders and as many as 6. I like a fast pace and it is better to limit size for faster runs.

I just wanted to show you folks some of what our area has to offer while making it enjoyable and pleasant for both the rider and passengers.

ps 600-800 mile days are normal for me, one up or two up for days!!!

[TonUp]

We might not have anywhere close to 50 bikes that want to go on a 200 plus mile group ride in one day. I am pretty sure we wont get 20. I will be unless it is pouring rain, then I might have to switch bikes. The Speed Triple sucks in the rain.

Don't be bringing up that fuckin RAIN word again.
9 hours will make for a pretty long day.
I think I'd be up for more like 5-6 hours out for the day.
That way we can have time to shoot the breeze and relax for a wile
before heading back to our rooms to shower and get ready for dinner.
But either way I will be following the crowed BUT, NOT in the FUCKING RAIN ! ! !
No Rain No Rain No Rain No Rain No rain.................
