    Back to PA?

    Lots of places there yet to have a rally...I know Ralph will say Somerset area...I'd like to go back the the area of the PA Grand Canyon. But not necessarily the same routes...theres lots there and I can get us the benefit of local knowledge.

        The poll form XSEast 09

        OK, this is in the spirit of general discussion. If you recall, the XSEast '09 ballots had a write-in for suggestions on XSEast '10. There were only 15 write-ins, but here are the results of those suggestions:

        Canada - 5
        S.E. Ohio - 3
        W. Virginia - 2
        Somerset - 1
        Virginia Beach - 1
        Anywhere - 1
        Texas - 1
        Thousand Islands - 1

        Some lively discussion was had and it was generally agreed that Canada would be way too cold in late May. That's the only discussion I can recall.

          Great roads, not alot of traffic, few cops. Operating out of north WV would put us in proximity of Somerset.

              Randy I, nor most of us Canucks , think that late May is too cold to ride in Canada, but if I recall the issue of needing passports came up and it seems most Canadian riders have them but few US riders did. I know I would like to see the flight 93 memorial and have no problems riding down to meet up with the usual gang of XSsives!

                It seems to me that if ever there was a time to see the flight 93 memorial...it would be for XSEast 2010

                  I got the impression (possibly wrongly) that Ralph was proposing to host XSEast 2010 in Somerset.

                    Xs east

                    I am not campaining for it to be in Canada, but you won't find it too cold in late may. it was not any warmer in vermont. if anything its great riding, the bugs are not bad and roads have cleared up from the sand and salt from winter. I do really like the idea of seeing the Flight 93 memorial though, i think thats a great idea.

                      I haven't missed a memorial day weekend (XS east) since I started going in 2002.

                      I will be there no matter where it is.... If you haven't been to the Flight 93 site it is worth a visit. I been once and I could easily go again.
                      I have seen the big plans they have. I suppose it will be something when they are done.

                      Does Northern West Virginia work? I don't know. Anyone?

                        Hi Tom,
                        I am with you. Northern West Virginia sounds grand to me.

                            Northern West Virginia sounds good to me. It's been years since I've been through there.
                            Perhaps we could cover some Canadian ground with another XS North. Tom knows some great roads around the Huntsville area. Rick

                              WTF Ralph? You want XSEast in Somerset ? Then organize it yourself for crying out loud. Alot of people agree they want to see the memorial but you just have to be disagreeable? So tell me why does it matter if we base in Somerset or WV? How many f-ing days do you f-ing need to see the memorial?
