Sounds like a good fit with the wives, Bob. Saturday, Oct. 3 is a good one for Hunter Mtn. Lets see who chime's in and can join us.

*Otter is also working on a meet up location for a ride under the "Central NY" tread, hopefully we can hook up along the way with his group.

[Bob Denman]

Hi Chuck,
Grahamsville will literally be "Shut down from 8:30 am or so, until about 10:00am...
No through traffic will be possible...
It would be best for you to pick up Rob K out near near Rte. 28 and Rte. 209 intersection, and then head directly West.
We can figure out a point where we can join in on the fun!
(We'd leave early; before things get locked down, and go out through to Big Indian... :thumbup:)

[Ex Winger]

Never been down to this event but looks like fun.Any info on where to stay would be welcome..Going to have to get the map out as I don,t know the area.

Great, hope you can make it. Hunter Mountain has overnight rooms but they are somewhat pricey. You may want to check this website for a local Bed & Breakfast : http://www.bedandbreakfast.com/hunter-new-york.html


If anyone else wants to meet up on that morning in Downsville along route 30 to Margaretville please let me know. From there we are open on a route up to route 23 in Hunter.

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

if you make it on 10/4 i think my wife & i can make it

[taxmyzer]

My wife and I would love to take part :2thumbs::2thumbs:. We would be coming from Nassau county so we need specifics.

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

Just got the ok from my wife on 10/4 & she will have a poncho for the ride this time, it is cold in the morning.
anyone into kite flying while we are there?

Thank,s for the infoOn the GPS says about 4.5 hours.If the weather is good we,ll go down Sat return on Monday

[FieldTester]

Great to hear of more interest in the Oct 3 weekend. It looks like at this point that some can make it on Saturday and some of you cannot.
Best solution is we have two rides, one each day to Hunter Mountain (weather permitting) so I can meet up with all of you who are coming to this event. Val and I have been going there for the past few years and the sky ride to the top is not to be missed.
It especially aid digestion !!

So it is best to list your availability date/dates to firm up a meet up location and time. Sounds like somewhere along Route 28 west of Kingston may be best to accomidate those of you coming off the NYS Thruway.

Anyway, thanks again, looking forward to a fun time.

[rnet]

This is in my backyard, so if the weather is good, I'll be there and most likely bring a bunch of mixed bikes on the 3rd.:thumbup:

Thanks Met, glad you can join and are nearby. I am thinking to meet up in Shandanken at route 28 & 42. Both are nice roads. http://www.mapquest.com/us/ny/shandaken

Time around 11 AM to allow for those coming from afar. Can you recommend a lot in Shandanken which will work for us ??

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: I do NOT want to be the one raining on the Parade...

...But has anyone else looked at the long-range forecasts yet? :gaah:
Let's all hope that they're even more wrong than usual! http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=116780&stc=1

[ROB K]

Ron are you turning up on 213 or taking 209 all the way to 28. I will be coming from Mohonk rd or 213 High Falls. I will meet you and Chuck at Emmanuels Market.

Anyone else who want to take the ride I will be leaving from Lagrange NY heading west over the Mid Hudson Bridge in Poughkeepsie and driving thru New Paltz

Hope Bob didn't put the whammy on us with the early weather forecast.

[FieldTester]

Bob's a funny guy, I see :D

Being out on Coastal NY Waters for the past 40 years, I have much experience with NOAA weather forecasts. The only one I have come to trust is the "Wake up and look outside" one. ;)

Anyway, thanks for your concern, buddy ! I am sure that we can do this on the 3rd for you as well. Looking forward to meet.

Hope Bob didn't put the whammy on us with the early weather forecast.Emmanuels would work for us. this is only three miles from home, but most likely camping at Rondout Valley Resorts, that's say 6 miles away. From there I would go up 213 and over the reservoir to 28, then up to Phoenicia.

[FieldTester]

[QUOTE=rnet;1041163 ]214 through the notch is another option and better for those coming from the east.

I know route 214 and I thought it would be a little slow and twisty but I am fine with that also. Can you suggest a meet point off route 28 nearby route 214 ??

If so, lets do it.

If so, lets do it.There's a Valero gas station on main st in Phoenicia and right across from that is the sportsman bar & grill. Be right there somewere. A block after the 214 turn. You set the time.

[eagleeye299]

Ron, what time are you thinking of heading up on the third? I might see about taking the day off.

[rnet]

FieldTester was thinking about meeting at 11am in Phoenicia, of course this all is weather dependent.

[eagleeye299]

Of course. :bowdown:

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

well if you want to start a list of who is going

spectacular from long island can go sun. 10/4 w/rt-s

[eagleeye299]

Found out I can't get the day off. I will be at the meeting on the 4th.

Sounds good Met, My group of 4 Spyders (Ed, Cathy and Val) will be at the Valero Station in Phoenicia at 11 AM on Oct 4th.
Val and I only on 2 Spyders will also be there on the 3rd so far weather permitting.
Hope to meet all of you for a great weekend. :)

[Bob Denman]

BUMP: Field Tester is currently offline... :shocked:
Keep your posts coming about who's going, and when.
I'll relay the messages to him! :thumbup:
He believes that his system should be back up and operational on Wednesday! :yes:

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

Taxmyzer pm me if you want to ride out together sun. morning, this time we will dress warm for the morning ride

[grumpybob]

Got back form Nova Scotia yesterday. We have an Honor Flight on Oct. 3rd. to attend, at Hancock Airport in Syracuse, NY. Have to be there at 4:30am. then again at 5:00pm. Won't be able to make it, again. All that do make it have a safe trip & lots of fun.

[rnet]

So far the weather does not look good, but I am hanging in there.

watched the weather this morning, sat & sun are supposed to rain but i too will hang in there for the last minute.

[FieldTester]

Well I see the whammy is upon us ! :sour:

Lets try to keep the next weekend Oct. 10 & 11th as an alternate. (Octoberfest runs all month at Hunter Mtn.)

Tough long forecast now for sure !

Glad to see that you're back; we missed you! :D

[ROB K]

Keeping fingers crossed. Ron if we are a go let me know what time to meet at Emmanuels market. For the ride up.

[FieldTester]

Thanks RNet, we may get that window up here.
But down on the Island is a different story. My boat in Montauk may need some attention if the weather turns very bad down there.

Fingers are tightly crossed.

[rnet]

Keeping fingers crossed. Ron if we are a go let me know what time to meet at Emmanuels market. For the ride up.If this happens, it would be 10:15am.

[rnet]

Yep, I'm out. Turned into 70% chance for sat and 10% for Sunday so that is the day, but I have a meeting (SpyderQuest) to go to, have fun, I may try next week.

[Bob Denman]

Thanks, Carl,
I've been keeping an eye on the reports, and they just aren't looking too great right now...
We'll have to keep our fingers crossed, and hope that next weekend offers some redemption.:thumbup:

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

This weekend is over, i'm planning on going 10/11 as long as we don't get snow

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: Don't you ever say the "S" word in October... :shocked:

You'll jinx us!! :banghead:

[FieldTester]

OK, looks like next weekend is more workable for us.

By the way, When and where is Spyderquest next year? I could not find any info on the past threads.

[Bob Denman]

Probably Lake George again; but nothing has been decided yet. :D
Give the team a couple of Months, to lick their wounds... :roflblack:

[ROB K]

Ok this weekend is out for me also. I have another group who will probably join us next week. Let's hope for better weather.

Ron talk to Don S at your meeting Sunday he was planning a ride next week we should all join up together.

[rnet]

Probably Lake George again; but nothing has been decided yet. :D
Give the team a couple of Months, to lick their wounds... :roflblack:No wounds to lick here, we all had a blast. Also some exciting news will be coming out, most likely by the end of the week about SpyderQuest. We do plan on keeping this event "the best Spyder event in the world". :ohyea::ohyea::ohyea: I will post in a new thread when I have the details.

Ruining a perfectly good 3-day weekend for this sort of crap is just WRONG!!

From the Western end Rte 55/55A intersection; turn right, and head West up into Town.
When you see the Daniel Pierce Library in the right-hand side of the road; we're on the left.
It's about 3/4 of mile or so from the intersection...

[FieldTester]

Sunday, 11 AM on Oct. 11th at the Valero Station in Phonecia, NY.

Hope we can all hook up there.

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

I just heard for BlueBayou and we will be meeting his group at the Roscoe Diner parking lot at 9AM on Sunday.
We will take route 206 north to Rte 30 east to pick up Rte 28 at Margretville and then on to Phonecia for 11AM at the Valero Station. Looks like 6 Spyders and some bikes at this point.
Any more along the way are welcome.

She looked at the weather reports, and felt that it'd be better riding on Monday; the temperatures would be more to her liking.
