Here is the plan. Ba members from NY,NJ,CT,VT,MA,NH,RI, hell anywere meet at the top of MT Greylock (North Adams Ma.) Date OCT 21 or 28 for a group photo.
Riders could meet in each state for a group ride.
Most of the leaf peepers are gone by that time of month.
Less traffic on the roads, but less leaves on the trees
There is a place to eat at the top of the mountain,or we could find a place in North Adams.
Let me know what you think.
Mark
The road goes on forever, The party never ends.

I recall a foot of snow on October fourth here in NW CT. I say we tie old inner tube sections to our tires and GO! (It works.)

Sunday maybe a better day for most
Oct 22 or 29
Weather can be a problem that time of year, especially for people coming from up north. greylock is about 2 1/2 hrs north of me. I have been thinking about getting a heated vest. If anyone has one let me know how you like it.

10/29 no good for me. Zappa plays Zappa that night.
I'm probably better with a Saturday. But you guys decide, because once again, i have the most unpredictable job routine out of all of us.

Either day I can make work, either ride up then go to the rents, or ride to the rends, then ride down the next day.
I do vote for earlier the better.

True. I just haven't ridden the bike to VT in a long time, so I figure this is as close as it gets... So I'll either ride up with you guys, or back with you guys.

Charlie,
Doctor, says I will be ready to go. Should be 80% by Sept 12th and near 100% the day we leave. If I can not ride you could always drag me behind yours, I'm not missing this for nothing.
