Well, I waited until today to make the decision and unfortunately I'm going to bow out for this shindig. With the current weather situation both up here and down there for the next 4 days, I think it's the right one for me. Was looking forward to seeing everyone and RIDING...but not in the...
Based on the same reasons for Bob's departure from this forum, I will be moving on as well. It's been fun for the last 3 years. See you on the other side.
Charlie checking out the GoPro. "is this thing on?"
Pre dinner shenanigans. Guys, I dont think you are doing it right.....
Stopped for this pic but unfortunately the rest of the group didn't. I think it was worth it.
My trusty Steed...
Here comes the rain on our way home...
A great 30 hours of fun! Thanks to KJ for pulling this together! Company, riding and food were great, as always. Broke away from KJ/Debbie, Jon and Dean with Charlie to make our way into Canada. Got whacked with rain at one point but made our way through - nice thing is it stayed around 72F...
If you want to stay overnight in Ellicottville, there IS a more economical choice. The Edelweiss Ski Lodge has chalets and a hotel. If you go through booking.com, you can get a room starting at $109 US with a free cancellation policy if you cancel by October 13th. It's stumbling distance to...
I'm in for Saturday if I'm able to snag the pull out couch KJ. On a semi retirement budget yaknow. :) I have a commitment during the day but should be able to be down at EVL by 6pm. If not, I'll do a day trip on Sunday. Let me know.
Unfortunately I had to cancel on EOM due to a work commitment that I couldn't get out of. I still was able to take a couple of days to ride down to Fairmont WV on Wednesday and then headed back home on Thursday. Met up with KJ, Debbie and Rick at CHEF 117 in Bradford. What a gem. Upscale...
Well, the proverbial wrench has been thrown into my plans for EOM. Unfortunately I need to be back for the weekend for a business commitment that I cannot get out of. I did order a shirt and perhaps Madmudder can pick that up for me in my absence. In exchange Tim, I will give you my banquet...
Thanks KJ & Debbie for starting this adventure off on the right foot. Dinner, bonfire, company and accommodations were great. Going for a shower the next morning only to find that everyone else used up all the water, not so great! Is that why you made me ride in the back?! :)
Left Stowe at 8am and arrived home at 7:30 tonight. Thank goodness for Nexus, the traffic at the border coming back into Canada was brutal! Got a good 3 hours or so of power washing the bike on the I-90. :) What a great 5 days of riding and hanging out with great people! Thanks to Allen...
