I'd like to come, but the 18th is a rain date for something I'm planing the previous weekend so I won't know until the week before, If I can come, I will be staying at my Dad's house in Hinesburg

I miss all the good stuff :madfrown:

Well, I would be down for this, if it wasn't a 4.5 hour slab ride just to get there.

Count me in!

I've got parking a-plenty so however you show up is fine. Please pm me or MotoFreak for directions.

Eats will be belly-warming: chili and cornbread, fresh-baked apple crisp, mulled cider. Plus munchies and whatever MotoFreak grills up, which will be tasty!

There's a firepit in the back so I'll have a bonfire roaring to keep us cozy. If anyone is interested in roasting weiners :naughty or marshmallows, let me know and I'll have them available!

Hope to see ya'll on the 18th!

Rhode Island sucks. We never do anything cool here.

Doc and I threw a Bike Night togehter, and look what happened! We have a solid riding community here, and a fantastic group of regulars...do it up!!!!

We'll be bringing some soda courtesy of the bike event. :)

Shit, I have drill that weekend.

I'm looking to get some adventure riding in, nothing to intense, just sticking to more gravel than pavement. if there is anybody else up for an adventure/dualsport ride

More Dual-sport than adventure.
Yes.
OT

Count me IN! If i'm supposed to bring hot dogs or some roadkill to this thing just let me know and i'll be happy to bring some. Or some buns.. i got buns.

Out of state wedding that weekend.

Sucks for me.

we might be down for that! As a special request (I know it is out of the ordinary) but can the Chili keep Jalapenos (and anything hotter) on the side to be added after, Keira is allergic to the chemical in those peppers and she loves chili... if not that is fine, just let us know either way so she knows if she can eat it or not.

I'm pretty sure we're coming! :beerbang:

Count me in.

Weather dependant. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess 10/18 will be way too cold to get me to wake the bike up out of hibernation. Actually I don't think I'll be doing anymore real rides this season (more than down the road and back).

Given recent cold snaps, I don't think this'll be a foliage ride unless the ride happened over this past weekend, or is happening right quick like. The flora and Fauna is at full tilt around here at the moment. Leaves is fallin.

Since this is all of 5 minutes from my house, I'll be there if it's nto snowing or raining cats and dogs...

10-18, I should be good for a ride and stuff, but i have to check with my boss first. I have a vague recolection that she had me planned for something but I wasn't really paying attention so I'm not sure.

I'll get back to you.

I'll be there :)

fixed

If it's a miraculous, unseasonably warm, 70 degree day in late october I'd be in for sure. At that same time in October though, I have seen snow fall. If the high temp is gonna be 40...yea I'll not be riding the bike. Can't exactly get the propper cold weather gear on under the leather.

guess time will tell

im in too man. ill be there for shizzle

Wrong direction. Here's our ride description:

Meet at 9am at McDonald's parking lot on Williston Rd. in S. Burlington, or 9:45am in Barre at the gas station by the intersection of Rt 302 and Rt 110. Route will be Rt 302 and Rt 25 to East Corinth, then back roads to Chelsea. We'll stop for lunch in Chelsea, then head over Chelsea Mountain Road to Randolph, Bethel Mountain Road to Rochester, back up Rt 100, and over the App Gap.

We may mix it up a little and just take Rt 110 south from Barre to South Royalton. Depends on the weather and who shows up for the ride. We'll see. At any rate, it's a nice ride either way, and you guys are totally welcome to join. In fact, I hope at least a few of you will, because I doubt many people from my RAT pack will show up. Attendance has been terrible this year because all the core members have been super-busy with work and personal stuff.

it's looking more likely, last nite I called my dad and told him I would be up

as I said earlier I wanna get some gravel road riding in, prolly in richmond, bolton, hinesburg, huntington, starksboro, lincoln

anyone want to meet up somewhere

not sure if I'm coming up friday nite or saturday morning yet

I am in if weather is good and I don't mean temp.

If there are riders from down south that want to meet at my place and ride up from there I can lead a group. We would leave hear at noon and take some nice back roads up. Just let me know who to expect.

Moto- If you want to bring your group down to meet up, that would work also.

send me a few meeting places...we'll see what we can do!

I am working with FTMS on Routes right now, trying to find a spot where those of us riding can go down and meet FTMS, Slyder, Jackie, Reiobard, MzdGirl and maybe even TriumphDog, and still make it a 2.5hr or less ride once people get into Vermont...without having to push too hard either. It will be tough. We shall see. Might have a few groups out and about, which is fine by me.
Weather is tentativly looking like mid-50's, lets hope and pray for sun and 60*!

BlueEye's is creating a magnificent feast, so no one is allowed to bail out...mmmmk!
Ill most likely be grilling marinated chicken tenders, steak strips, and some veggies, cause thats healthy, have not decided yet.
If anyone wants to help with food, pm BlueEyes, if anyone wants info on rides, meeting places, directions, or general info, pm Me!

PEACE
Freak

I can most likely get out of work at 11:00 on Sat to get up there on time. That should give people time to get here with out leaving to early in the morning.

You know, the ride I'm doing would put us into Chelsea or South Royalton to meet up with people from Points Southeast. And then we'll hit the Rochester Gap and head north on Rt 100, and then hit the App Gap...

Just sayin...

I've been staying out of this and not wanting to confirm anything because of the possibility of the Baby coming earlier than expected.

Mark me as tenative.

yup, have not forgot...can you send me the exact route?

I'm leaning toward riding up Friday nite and staying at my Dad's in Hinesburg, but my GF may come, in which case we will ride up Saturday morning, drop my gear of in Hinesburg then head to Underhill
