nice this sunday ANYONE ELSE?!?! :-)

[biod929]

Nice this sunday....

so what are we doing? or do we only plan rides in crappy weather around here..lol

im thinking about heading upstate NY.. maybe...or anywhere.. just looking to ride. eat, see stuff, and ride some more.

or

maybe head south, then cut over to Jersey, near yardley or something, follow the river north, get lost, get a hotdog . follow the river some more, see where it goes from there..

or.. whateva

[NVR2FST]

I might be able to get away but I have to check withthe wifey first

[hotel]

I am hanging out at home, maybe a small ride.

[Peteo]

I'll be up for a ride....

[antdefran]

i will be up at my cabin off route 6 outside towanda, do a route 6 run...i meet up with ya.

[BrettsX]

Im still wet from the last ride and I very much doubt I will be dried out by Sunday anyway :shock: ............besides wifey wants to do soemthing with me and the kids since i work for commies and have to work memorial day.

[biod929]

im starting to think you all like the rain better..lol

Well the Ny boys have not told me anything regarding riding this weekend, I feel kinda ignored actually, but Im still looking for options. Since most of ya are southbound from me, maybe I'll head down that a way, however riding up where Ant is gunna be is nice, but one hell of a ride back for others if they want to come. But hey.. whatever. still early, got all week to be indecisive about it. lol

thats cool. family is important. enjoy

[tros66]

Bio... like sheeet man.... We in NY can't plan- but the ride to Towanda would certainly put you closer to us if we ever figure what we are doing......

Youse got to come and see Wheels Roadhouse Cafe.

[biod929]

Tross..lol

I've been watching that Wheels thing. Weekdays dont work for me now with the lil one. But weekends are fair game. Come closer to Fri I'll figure it all out. actually kinda leaving it up to who ever wants to ride with me. I will go with the masses type of thing. all I know is, nice sunday, no work monday, already told the Mrs not to wait up for me :twisted:

[tros66]

Stay tuned it is always a mystery here...

[free1954]

sunday might work for me but i'm not sure what time i could get out

[Ghost-Flame]

I just got a pass from the hall monitor, that would be my wife.

Where to? How far is Rt 6 from, say Allentown? I would like to do a ride there maybe. Somebody said Hot Dog Johnnies. I've never been there. Someone said yardley/new Hope. I live near there not really interested but, would consider if I can't persuade otherwise.
I want to see some scenery not just the super slab. JMHO.

[biod929]

Where to? How far is Rt 6 from, say Allentown?

pretty far..lol Id say 1 1/2 to shot up the NE extension to pick it up in Clarks summit. then the thing goes all the way west ohio. Clark's Summit to where Ant is would be a decent little haul in and of itself. abut an hour. then who knows from there. but.. not saying to discourage. :wink:
Could be a cool ride but a hell of a trek home for you boyz down south. Depending on things, and Route taken, I could do food at my house on the return trip. Burgers Dogs, etc... (if the Wife Says OK...lol)


Somebody said Hot Dog Johnnies. I've never been there. Someone said yardley/new Hope. I live near there not really interested but, would consider if I can't persuade otherwise. But I don't..lol

My other thought, since theres more of you guys below Allentown was to shot south. Maybe have some breakfast somewhere depending on who' s into riding. can find someplace kinda central then head west over towards Jersey and take 29 north cross back to PA 611N to 46 then get a hot dog. That would pretty much have us riding along the deleware for quite a while. Can also stay in PA and ride up 32 to 611. same but different.

From ,For example, Doylestown, traveling over to Washington's crossing,then heading north it would be about an 80 mile ride to Hot Dog Johnny's depending on route a little, can be less if we do more direst, but this would keep it primarily to more scenic roads. .

or....

add your own idea here. :arrow:

and ditto on No major Highway time. Personally I kinda wanna stay north. but thats me being a little selfish and staying a bit closer to home. But If there's a group that wants to head into the mountains. Im more then happy to get us lost somewhere.

feedback for the masses?

[biod929]

I was thinking if we do a north bound trip , I got a cool bridge I can show ya's

[free1954]

nickolson bridge is a nice ride, we come 92 south from east benton

[Bob/Carmen]

Hey. I would be up for a ride somewhere. My girlfriend and I would like to head down to Gettysburg for the monday holiday. I'm in Mechanicsburg,Pa. Sunday and Monday are open. Let me know. Bob

[steve]

Mechanicsburg your from bob

lot of nice raods out there

[antdefran]

someone asked about rt 6....well when i lived in havertown, right off the blue route, it took me 3 hours if i really moved to get to towanda that is rt in bradford county...nice ride, 29 to 6 in tunkhannock...that was 2 hours to there, then another 45 mins west on 6 to towanda...it is a great ride, and theres other ways to get to 6...like 187 or 87 i think then take 6 back..take the turn bike to the wilksbarre exit, 115 to 309 to 29...its a nice ride, and alot of nice little towns...you could stop at my place near towanda, get some food and drink and head back if you want to come up....something different

[biod929]

i most likely won't be able to get out on sunday 'till noon.

that sounds really nice, I dont know if I can make a full day of it both Sunday and Monday. Not fair to my wife, she's kinda stuck with our new baby..
but sounds like a great ride too..hmmmmmm

someone make my mind up..lol

[antdefran]

thats a real good ride, nice to...i could meet you guys somewhere

[Peteo]

Sunday I'm Free!! Yeah I'm up for Hotdog Johnny's We could meet there & do the 29 thing bio was talking about.I' don't mind getting home later, but not up for the rt. 6 thing this week, too long of a ride for one day here. Back roads are where I'm at; after the PA/NJ turnpike thing last week . All I'm looking for is a lack of R*IN. I've seen enough of that for the rest of the riding season :shock:
Maybe then after HDJ's we could ride the upper part of the river........I really want to ride w/ "the guys" as many as possible. 8) :lol: :lol: .
I'll suggest we meet at HDJ say 11:00am. Then you northern guys can lead all from there.
Hoping everyone is agreeable...........Peace....... Peteo

[NVR2FST]

after the PA/NJ turnpike thing last week . All I'm looking for is a lack of R*IN. I've seen enough of that for the rest of the riding season :shock:

Rain makes the ride more fun

[antdefran]

im sure you all didnt buy your bikes to make little quick trips..hell i drove 400 miles a few weeks ago to have a beer :twisted: ..its all about the journey, not the destination..so read the avatar, and get moving. :mrgreen:

[biod929]

no work Monday = more miles Sunday :twisted:

so lets get a head count by Friday and see which way the wind is blowing

[Peteo]

I know you couldn't see crap.... 60-65 mph; driving rain; Spray from cars & trucks....I'll bet you had your eyes closed and were dreaming of that beautiful corned beef sandwich :lol: :lol: :lol: next time I'm pulling off the road :idea: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[NVR2FST]

what we doing? how many we got?

options as I see it.

1. Meet up. head towards Jersey for a HDJ and then rilde the deleware more
2. Meet up. at HDJ and then head along the deleware more.
3. Meet up. go west instead and see Gettysburg area and meed the new guy Bob/Carmen. and whoever else is in that area. mind you I have no clue how far that is from PMM area (ok just looked that up. 129 miles from PMM..wow)
4. Screw you guys. head north and meet up with the NY crew to just had back south to Quaker Steak and Lube..or not
5. Screw you guys head north along Rt 6 to Wellsboro and See PA Grand Canyon. I want to do this, but would be really nice to have a group. This would be a full day thing though that might take batter planning
6. I dunno.. but I'll be riding somewhere

ok...lol

1,2 sound good
3 sounds OK but the deleware has better roads
4 Screw you too
5 Sounds the best but definately needs a little more preparation than 2 days
6 same here

[biod929]

I like choice 1. myself. but Peteo wanted to just meet at HDJ at 11. Id like to head down and meet up a bit earlier, maybe hit a diner first then head out as a group to HDJ. but whateve. i dont know everyones AM plan.

as far as any NE riders. I know free1954 isnt avail till after 12. but I hate to leave him out. Id love to do what he was talking about on Monday. But that'll have to pass muster with the wife first. Shes starting to feel locked down with the new one and its starting to get to he, she being really dedicated with this nursing thing, but its wearing her down.... BTW NVR2. how soon for you . close now isnt it?

man it tough trying to organize a random ride..lol

Holy Crap its early...

[biod929]

Thanks for a good day everyone. Im tired

[NVR2FST]

Yeah same here I didn't think I was that tired until I finally got home, and I didn;t even start as early as you

[free1954]

sounds like you kids had a good time, sorry that i missed it

[biod929]

sounds like you kids had a good time, sorry that i missed it
that was a warm up. there be plenty more.. Heading up this a way next time I hope. Im thinking back mountain around the lake, up to Tunk Rt 6. so I can show the boys the Aquaduct maybe. or maybe that in reverser oder then maybe some burgers at my house, then well, who knows from there

[NVR2FST]

Sounds good biod929 get some goods road together and as long as it's not within the next month (30-40 days) I should have no problem making it.

[Ghost-Flame]

Great freakin' ride!!

I was beat when I got home. Took a shower went to the tail end of a picnic. Then all the young-uns wanted to go see Indiana Jones at 9:15. Got home at 11:30... don't they know that a big day would be just one of those things??

Oh well the summer is too short... many rides to come.

[free1954]

what roads did you kids ride?

[biod929]

all of em...lol


I took NE extension doen to Blue Bell to meet the boys, then Ghost lead up over to 611 which we took north up to easton and beyond, then a bit more we cut over to Jersey, I cant even say what road it was, I let the GPS tell me the way . then 46 to HDJ. then we followed Ron back to PA up 611 more and some other roads that hugged the river up to the visitors center by RT 80. Nice and twisty too. THEN WE HAD AN ARGUMENT WITH MY GPS. Till I finally found 209 which we took to Jim Thorpe. and all split from there.. I think thats most of it :mrgreen:

[free1954]

there are some nice roads over along the river. let me know if you want to come north for a ride sometime, sunday mornings are a good time for me

[biod929]

If we didnt cut it a little short last time, and I had looked a little closer at the map, we would have continued along 209 up to milford. Then over 6 to the paulpack, then cut South to bring the boyz home.

That would have made ti a hell of along day. Maybe save that one for a few more weeks , get a bigger gang. together...

Im generally always up for a ride, So lets just post out thoughts and see what goes.

[free1954]

209 by marshall's creek gets busy until you get passed the flea market. then it's a nice ride along the river to milford. 6 to the paupack and 390 down to 940 at mount pocono. me and a couple of friends are planning to ride to the PA grand canyon next month, if you are interested we could meet in tunkhannock

[biod929]

Yes. :mrgreen:
