Anyone from NJ,NY or Pa riding this weekend?

[Pliskin]

Anyone interested in this weekend - Saturday September 19th?

Bbwong and I have tentatively scheduled a ride, although haven't worked out details on where and what time.

We do know it will be Saturday, and that each of us needs to be home by about 1:00.

Anyone else interested? Maybe find a meeting point around 7:00am, give or take?

[DenT]

Perhaps, I'll let you know as the weekend draws closer.

Even though you and Steve W. will be there I will still show up.

Ahhhhahahaha.

Just kidding, bro. Looking forward to it.

[dino71]

I just ordered new boots too, I will have a chance to break them in. I never had them new fangled special riding boots before. At least I will look like I know what I am doing!

I'm riding down to Assateague for the week. Leaving Saturday noonish.

Just remember the rules, 5th gens always wait for the 4th gens. Well, at least my 4th gen.

Yea, because the 4th Gens are to slow You got to bore that 750 out to 1000cc and then add the Toro Charger!

[bbwong]

Hey, not ALL 4th gens are slow, just mine. More a function of rider skill than displacement!

[bbwong]

So...how does Sunday work for everyone? I can't make Saturday anymore - the friends I am expecting after 1:00 have moved up their timetable. The good news is, I should be free for a longer ride Sunday. I have an early dinner but can probably ride until 4:00 or so. If Saturday is the better day, I'll have to catch up with you guys the next time. Sorry.

[DenT]

[dino71]

Got to check with my better half. Will let you know.

Has a decision been made yet? Come on stop asking your wives for permission all the time!

[DenT]

I was thinking about hitting Bear Mountain/West Point tomorrow morning. You in? Anyone?

[DenT]

Well im'm comming down with some illness... but so long as my lung doesnt blacken and die i should be good for a Sat morning run. I need to be back earlier than later though. packing for vacation.

Where are you coming from? I am taking the Parkway to 17 N, going to leave 08859 (Sayreville) at about 8:45.

[Pliskin]

I can ride either day, but not both. I need to be back by 3ish, but I can always peel off early.

Dino - If you go Saturday morning, what time you thinking? Meet up place? I'd like to do Bear Mtn - never been there. I won't be getting home until about 2:00am Saturday morning, and need to get a few hours of beauty sleep.

Bbwong - no chance of making it on Saturday?

[DenT]

So i assume that means you will be going to exit 163. I'm not all to far from there. I'd like to make it to my doorstep at approx 2PM but like pliskin i can flake off whenever i need to. Pliskin unless you want to meet more north I am meet you along 80 somewhere. It seems ur comming from Budd lake. If you guys will be on later i'll look into this later tonight.

If x163 is 17 N.B. then yes thats what I take to 87, to Sloathsburg to 7 Lakes Drive. A good meeting place is the Dunkin Donuts on 17 in town at say at about 9:30am. I am betting that now that the kids are back in school that the roads should have light traffic, we just need to look out for "tree hugging hikers"

[bbwong]

Sorry fellas. I can't make Saturday. Enjoy the ride and be safe. I'll catch you the next time.

Pliskin, how was the tournament? Bring home a prize?

<OFF TOPIC> Sayreville, NJ? I used to live in Old Bridge several years ago. Is that fantastic Portguguese restaurant in South River still there?

Do you mean "Costa Verde" on Rt 9 in Sayreville? I never liked it.

Dent - Where are you at exactly? The "North East' doesn't narrow it down! :) Pending an answer from Dino below - and where you are - I'd be happy to meet up with you. I'm at exit 26 roughly, so I'd head east to get to 287. Now if you happen to know a good way to go up through Greenwood Lake and Sterling Forest (or possibly even Route 94 up through Vernon and into NY), I'd be willing to to that rather than slab it. If I slab, I can be at Dunkin Donuts in about 45 minutes.

Dino - Are you talking about the Dunkin Donuts in Sloatsburg or Tuxedo, NY? I think its on the left when heading north? If you want to meet there at 9:45, that'll work for me. Please confirm, but I'll be there.

Bbwong - No prizes - thanks for asking. I failed miserably, lol. I'm sorry you can't make it. Do you want to consider a short jaunt on Sunday morning? I can probably get out early AM, but would have to be back early as well. if you want...

Was Pliskin in a bike cleaning contest!

The one in Sloathsburg, just a warning...ride slow on that part of 17, the pork bros are usually in that area.

[Pliskin]

Touche, Dino. Actually, its been at least a month since I washed my bike - maybe longer. So there.

And no, it wasn't a bike cleaning contest. It was a bass fishing tournament.

Now answer the questions on where we are meeting.... :-)

I can probably do a Sunday morning ride. I'm up for it if you are. Either post up here or give me a call - any time is good.

And my bike is still filthy from last weekend's ride in the rain. I've been too lazy to clean it. Maybe after work tonight...

How about 9:00 at the Dunkin Donuts in Sloatsburg, it there an echo in here? Can you eat any of fish you caught?
