I have no problem riding home on the pike in the dark. It's well lit.

I don't think Great Barrington itself has many restaurants. There are a lot on the outskirts. I'll be hungry whenever it's time to eat so any place will work for me.

It's actually Stafford Springs Neil, sorry we just call it stafford which is a bit north in. Google maps puts it at 21 miles assuming Martin goes 198-197-171-190. Very scenic rout. I'll plan on meeting you guys at 11:30. What kind of food perks your palate?

2 options for the ride out there. Option 1 is more scenic but a bit longer. Option 2 more direct.

Option 2 on both.
We can eat any time on the way and grab an ice cream in Great Barrington.

Lets see what Martin says. For me I've ridden all though there so does not matter to me.
