Ride? any takers. Anyone getting together. Any events to go too?

[VTX1652]

Dave,

I'm taking my new LE to a Bike Blessing St. Stephen's Episcopal in McKeesport at ~10:30 then plan to do a self-guided tour of Western PA .

Carl

[swede346]

Cool, I would like to see the new bike. do you want to meet at 9:30 or 10 at the BP like before?

[bwoy]

where you headed carl?

[VTX1652]

Dave,

10 o'clock at the BP works for me.

Brian,

I thought after the blessing go to the Boston Waterfront for lunch, then run out to Uniontown on Rt. 51, take 119/40 towards Washington (stopping at the Tradesman Inn), head to the Caste Village Car Cruise.

Carl

[bwoy]

how about taking 21 out of uniontown towards waynesburg, then 18 north to washington.

[VTX1652]

Brian,

I've never ridden 21 or 18 and was doing 40 since the Tradesman Inn is on this road.

Carl

[bwoy]

Me and Mishka are gonna meet you and dave at the boston waterfront say around 11:30 for lunch, cool?

[Rotn X]

Dave

Is there anywhere I can meet up with you guys before lunch?

[swede346]

[Samueul]

dumb question, how do i get the boston waterfront from washington ?

dumber question as I've lived here my entire life. What/where is the Boston Waterfront........

I feel so stupid.

[BigAlMan]

I believe the boston waterfront is a eatery at 2422 saint drive,
mckeesport pa. ... but I may be wrong.
AL, bigalman

[VTX1652]

The Boston Waterfront is in Little Boston. Go across the Boston Bridge on Route 48 and make a left turn at the traffic light. Make another left turn a couple of miles down the road at the sign.

06CandyOrangeVtx - meet us at the Church in McKeesport at ~10:30. It might be a little later before we get to the Boston Waterfront.

I'll probably stay with the group until Route 136 and will go to the Tradesman Inn or to South Park/Caste Village depending on the time.

Carl

[Samueul]

I'm gonna try to make it, but I have a communion to go to also. Don't wait up for me guys.

If I don't see you all, have a good and safe ride!

[Rotn X]

I'll just meet you guys after you eat @ I70/RT51 Get Go like the last time. Do you think 12:30ish is still good?

[alauth56]

I dont think they serve food til after 3:00. Carl, ya better call the waterfront....

[bwoy]

Carl, Al's right, the kitchen doesn't open till 2.

[VTX1652]

The Pig Roast starts at 2 o'clock (in June). We met there earlier than 2PM last year but this year must be different.

Their Website http://www.thebostonwaterfront.net/ says the Kitchen opens at 2 o'clock. So this will be a problem. We'll met and ride to another place for lunch on the way to Uniontown.

Carl

[Rotn X]

If you guys eat somewhere near uniontown i can join you, if not its no big deal

[Rated X]

So.........Are we still meeting at Boston waterfront or what????????

[bwoy]

To All,

Yeah, Meet at the waterfront @ 11:30. We'll depart from there. Will stop for lunch down the road if the waterfront isn't open.

OrangeCandy VTX, you can call my cell phone around 11:45, maybe we'll know where we are stopping by then. There's a place on 51 in Perryopolis called Randy's, the place is always busy, must be good...or cheap.

It was a nice ride today & it was a pleasure meeting some new faces.

[mishka]

Nice time great turn out...10 plus.

[Samueul]

Definitely a nice ride. Glad to meet all you guys and looking forward to riding with you all again.

[Rotn X]

Yeah nice ride, you guys will have to try RT221 or RT231 sometime

[alauth56]

i met guys in Washington and Cecil, rode down 18, to 50, to 231, to 331.There was a bridge out on 331, so a long gravel road detour.. We ended up at Viola's TradeWinds bar, and THAT was closed, due to West Virginia health dept. So we went back, and got on RT 40, and ate at Club 40. Then to the Pa,Ohio,W.Va border to a bar called Jack's stateline bar. What a dump. Nothing but quads and dirtbikes there. Had a beer, and headed home, via 18, thru Burgettstown, and 22. Did a lil over 200 miles.
Face is red. On the road 9.5 hours.Bike is filthy from the west virginny roads, which arent too good. But mucho twisty!

[VTX1652]

Great ride! I had ~152 miles on the trip meter and very little dust/dirt :lol: . My first time on Routes 18 and 21.
