Supper both Saturday and Sunday are planned two doors down at the former Erway's now called Kaytee's. Still working on routes, Sunday is set, Saturday is still a work in progress.

Lunch Sunday is at the First Chance Inn, Kersey, PA. They have a deck if the weather holds.
Lunch Sunday might be in Snow Show, PA (it is an exit on I-80) but that makes a long route so far.

Good job Marty!!! About 550 miles from here...but without any work...not likely I'll make this one either....

[MartyA]

We'll miss you Ben. I am also out of work again, at my age not likely to get much, fortunately I am still married to a terrific working woman with insurance!

Hey Marty!

Always wanted to see PA. Isn't May a bit early for that area though?

Rode to Colorado last May and got caught in a snow storm.

Not committing, just tossing ideas around and thought I would ask that question. The distance is about the same as I rode to The Lost Rally in Michigan last August.

Greg... XSEast is always on Memorial Day weekend...its not too cool but then it depends on how far north you are...still it has been quite warm enough ...never had a problem with it being too cold...
Marty...Thanks...I miss you all quite a bit...we have had alot of fun on this rally over the years...

Greg... XSEast is always on Memorial Day weekend...

Holidays always give me at least 1 extra day travel time. A positive. (no not a blood type}.

Hi Ben,
I booked a double room anyway So you can alternate between coming or not coming as much as you like

Hi Greg,
While the weather can be a bit unpredictable by the end of May Snow is very unlikely. I recall a number of years ago coming back from Elkins WV with HamJam and in this area we were stopping every hour to soak down with water as it was in the 80's and we thought we might melt
I hope you can make it. XSEast is always a good time.

Ha ha ha ha ha.........I would have had a jacket on.

trbig and I took off for The lost rally one year, 2011 I think, and the weather man said it was 115. I had a thermometer on my fairing at the time and it said 125.

Every time we stopped for gas we had to go sit in the AC and guzzle water. Finally cooled off to about 90 or so and started drizzling in Missouri somewhere.

Yes arrive on Fri...go home on Monday

Hmmmm..... That's awfully close to where I was born and raised. That's a two day ride for me. I'll have to keep this on the radar.

Greg, XS East is always a good turn out. Since you've been to XS Southeast, if you go to XS East I believe you will have shaken hands with the biggest portion of active members on this board. East changes venues every year, but the participants only change a little. I've been twice to NY and maybe five times to WV and never failed to have a great time.

Yep, the weather is usually great Greg, and you can't beat the hours of daylight for doing some miles that time of year.

1 day ride for me from here...I suspect it could be a longer day ride for you...
