XSEast 2026

[newc4]

XSEast 2026 dates are Fri-Mon 22-25 MAY 2025. With most of us retired I may ride up on the 21st if anyone joins. My plan is to get my XS11E running and trailer up with Dwayne for that weekend. So, I got some work to do.

Dwayne and I are driving up 2-4 Apr to do some recce.

We were last up there in 2008. I’m trying to reconstitute routes from the pictures taken, memory, and some situational awareness.

We last stayed at the Colonial Motel. Rates there are now $132 a night. There are other lodging options. When I passed through in 2018, I stayed at the Comfort Inn & Suites just north up the street which may be an option. That’s one of the items I want to check out.

I’ll also look for Mark Stanton’s side cover that he lost on the interstate all those years ago.

I went to a lot of these. Every one was memorable. Now too far and I don’t have the time off. It’s a pity because I don’t think I’ve ever set foot in Vermont.

Might make this one Darrell. It's been nine years since my last XSEast in WV.

Can't wait as it has been nasty cold here. First day of Spring and Winter will not leave! I'm in for Thursday to stretch this weekend out! Pete and Vicky

[DEEBS11]

Looking forward to meeting you and Vicky. My wife and I are also from Connecticut near Bradley.

Hi I'm interested in going but I have another bike trip planned for that weekend, is this definitely happening and are non xs riders welcome? I may have to convince my buddies to come too.

[dpotter58]

100% happening. Everybody is welcome non xs riders included.

That's just a BIT early in the riding season to be that far north but there is a possibility of me making it. I'm planning on spending a good part of the summer based out of Auburn, NY this year with lots of trips in and out. A buddy of mine has a garage and plenty of room for me to crash and he's chomping at the bit for some road time.

I have booked a campground down the street from the hotel, I'll be coming with my girlfriend and possibly a buddy or two is there a pre registration?
