Invite to VR's "OctoVRrally"

[moenko]

Beez, fish is correct, in order to read posts you have to be a member, but I think the basics haven't changed, timeline etc. Anyone who has a room and will join this rally will meet some wonderful people and have a great time - that's a promise ;)

See ya'll on Friday/Saturday....

[beezer]

fish and TC and anyone else living around Cooperstown, NY this group will be meeting at http://www.lakenpinesmotel.com/ on Friday and will be staying here through Sunday morning. It appears there will be about 40 people gathering.

If I can help with any questions you have post them here as Moe may have some insight, but also aside from that it may answer questions for others as well.

fish, you have my number, so this may work out. :)

We had a blast Moe. We need to meet again (translated 'many more times') ;)

TC, you should have came. It was beautiful with the motel on the lake, indoor pool, hot tub, scenery, man the list goes on but most of all the great people.

Here's some links to pics if anyone is interested

Beezer,

Nice pics. It looks like you, Moenko, et al... had a great time in the area of my birth. Pretty cool place, right? How'd everyone like Brook's BBQ? I'm glad you guys were able to fit it in during the ride. How'd you like the Belgian style beer? Having had the Ommegang beer and being in Belgium (Thanks, Uncle Sam!) before, I can honestly say I've never been a huge fan of that style. It is truely different and an acquired taste. The brewery and tour are pretty cool though. Sorry I couldn't make it up there for that. All my plans were two days off.

If anyone is thinking about going to the Cooperstown or central leatherstocking area of NY, let me know. If I can't meet up with you, I can at least offer some advice on things to see and do while there. I know the roads well and can help plan out some day rides as well.

Sorry I wasn't able to attend and am glad all that did had a good time.

I didn't go to the brewery but the BBQ was great.

[moenko]

The brewery was neat, got to taste all the beers they made and, of course, purchase some. Now, Brook's BBQ - I gotta be honest, my pork ribs had a lot of fat on them and the BBQ sauce was just a bit on the sweet side for my taste (sorry - I guess I'm spoiled from having lived in Texas for a while, and their Brisket is the REAL BBQ).

Great pics Beez, looks like you guys and gals had a good time. I knew you would.
I thought about coming down there but Friday morning it was raining buckets when I got up. Did it rain there?
Cindy and I rode Sat. and Sunday down to Penn. and up through the Catskills.
I have a post on here about how my tire was showing steel band at the 600 mile mark of our 700 mile trip
Getting a Continental Cobra on it Fri. I hope.
Guess I will have to wait till next spring to meet you guys.

TC, make sure to check out the VR Yankee Rally in Hancock, MA next summer; we'll post dates/links etc. early next year. All the fun people will be there again!!
