XS East 2009 - The Vote

[CarolynS]

Well done!

I am looking at all kinds of possibilities, open to ALL suggestions!
Everyone should be included in the planning.
I will be certain of fuel stops(the way I like to crack the throttle on the bike, I get about the same distance as a Special out of a tank of fuel!LOL!).
I plan on riding 9 this fall, and in the spring to make sure of it's condition before we committ to it. The Hemmings site could be a blast...Is there anyone who's not interested in antique cars and bikes? Is that possible? Definitely will check it out BobE!
Hey you guys are coming to CT saturday, right?
I'm going down but I'm taking the cage. Witch decided to have a fairing issue-lenses/lights-tempermental old thing! We'll discuss some options over pizza and see what we come up with.
Oh, and blue giant...a fall 'mini-run' is definitely in order! Let's figure out a weekend that some of us can go. PM me with your thoughts!!

Okay, you asked for it! Routes I would be looking at are the usual, VT-8, VT-100...VT-125 over the Middlebury Gap is nice, VT-17 over the Appalachian Gap is also great, but that one might be a little too far north for a comfortable day's ride....For the shopping fiends, or those who may be bringing their wives who may want to do something a little different, Woodstock, VT, is a nice ride, as is the Yankee Candle Company in Greenfield, MA, which makes for a nice Shoppers Day sort of thing (I have no idea how long this event will be, so I'm just throwing out ideas)....

It would be useful to find a motel near a campground or vice-versa to give folks an option of lodging. We also try to locate a base in close proximity to a restaurant (ideally within walking distance) so that folks can go unwind at the end of the day's riding over some brews without worrying about the ride back to the motel/campground.

I'll be there! Haven't heard from Russ yet, but I know he will too if he can back from VA in time!

Oh well, I was looking forward to seeing a sister of the Old Coot!

Guess we can close this thread, no new votes and we are all talking about VT, so it's a go!

Take off, Carolyn! Why don't you go ahead and start a new "XS East 2009" thread.
