Hi BNE
how are ya, arms tired? ;-)
It will be all good. Western Pa. is nice . so is every where else we have met or will meet.
some times you're the pigeon, sometimes you're the statue in regards to the distance you have to ride to get to the ride ;-) , but it's a grand thing when we do get together keep in touch

Hey Jim Nah my arms are fine...LOL...Well if it is Somerset thats only abt 260 miles mostly on the PATPK so thats a nice road...a bit expensive witht he tolls but problably the best route there.This past rally i was only 90 miles away...soI dont mind a longer ride...it'll be grand to do it all over again in'09...ok thread hijck is over...pls return to the topic.......Where and when needs to be firmly established...so until that happens i am done making suggestions OK timewise most likely is Memorial Day Weekend...however some have stated that these dates wont work for them,but everyone else seems to be gravitating towards Mem.Day weekend and location would be somewhere in the N.E US...due to the time of the season North of the Border...beyond that nothing else is specific..yet

Bump for one more week of comments / suggestions / etc.

I'll post a few select areas to vote on next week.

Looking forward to seeing where XS East 2009 could be.

I still vote for VT/NH.

It could be nice that time of year, and more of the New Englander's will be able to make it!

VT

I would like a shorter ride this year Vermont is a beautiful state.

As I recall, we were kind of hoping that some of the 'newbies" would step up and plan something. Don't be shy!

[MartyA]

Lacking that, I hope to get help from the local 'suggestor' when the time comes.

Hey Windjammer Witch, where abouts in VT are you speaking?

VT/NH Coming from Barrie, could meet up with others in GTA, head east, meet with Kingston area riders, east to Cornwall, meet up with Ottawa area riders.

How's the weather there that time of year?

[CarolynS]

Along the border with NH...

Brattleboro was where I had in mind. It's sort of central to everyone-from the PA boys to the Ontarian's, the Mainiacs, to us here in Mass.
It's a beautiful area. I will ask John about riding routes and see what he says. No mosquitos that time of year, but a little cool for some. Polarfleece under the leather usually does it for me, and I HATE being cold.
I have a feeling I'm going to regret this but...
I will look into accomodations in the area; price, accessibility, food and grog, etc.
I am not volunteering...YET!
I'm still a newbie here, right?
Oh, yeah...200+ posts~! Why can't I just mind my own dang business?!

Hey, Marty, looks like we have a hostess for '09. Congratulations, Carolyn!

[CarolynS]

GULP!!!

[MartyA]

Relax, WW. I want to put it to a vote in a few days. We have a couple of suggstions.

I just checked the Brattleboro area, there are roads named Missing Link Road and Breakneck Road.....

New Englanders are so cute....
