        Hi Tom,
        Not a long ride by my standards. About 4 hours if the border crossing is not delayed. Google says a little more for you at 4 1/2 hours and less than 300 miles. With a nice long lunch you should be able to do that after breakfast and before dark of the same day
        Break it up into short rides and long rests .. easy.

          A little over 3 1/2 hours and 182 miles for us and the last half of that is through the Allegheny National Forest

          We could be there by lunchtime but most likely run into a few garage sales and a flea market

          1984 XV700L Virago (to be hot-modded)
          1983 XJ750MK Midnight Maxim (semi-restored DD)
          1977 XS650D ( patiently awaiting resto)

          Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.

                    Add another person for XSEast Rally!

                    Hi Marty!
                    Sure looking forward to this great Rally once again!
                    Please add another definite to the list of attendees.
                    Paul Algeria (a friend of Bruce G and mine) will be coming up from FL on his Triumph Rocket III Trike to join the festivities. Nice guy and very capable rider. He just switched to the trike since he's in his mid sixties and a little vertically challenged. He has already booked a room and is really looking forward to the adventure! He'll be heading to upstate NY first - his old stomping grounds - and perhaps riding down with Bruce G.
                    Everyone be well, and be SAFE - the cagers still don't see us yet since we have been abscent from the road for the last several months!
                    Rob B

                            Checked out Kinzua Bridge State Park yesterday, one of our Sunday stops. They are building a new visitor's center of palatial dimensions - our tax $$ at work.... won't be open till either this fall or next spring.

                            Anyway, the road into the paved parking lot is blocked off, and the visitor's palace seems to be growing right in the middle of the old parking lot. They put in a temporary gravel and dirt lot in the middle of the trees so we will have to be careful pulling in and out of there. Walk to the bridge is a bit further also.

                              I once wrote a kids' book series that prominently feature that area, including the Kinzua bridge. Fun to look at it on satellite maps.

                              I never was able to publish the books and had to get a real job again. I hope to be able to come visit during the rally, but work is too tough these days.

                                You know you can walk right on out to the end of the bridge where the tornado chopped the middle out.
