    Default A ride in the Catskills...

    Just got back from a pretty nice jaunt up through our little mountains here... We met up at Arctic Adventures in Rosendale at 9:00am The weather did NOT look as if it would co-operate; cloudy and rather threatening...
    10:00am... Everybody had enough donuts and "Brown Ambition" in them to get them to the next stop, so we "put up the kickstands..." and headed from Rosendale back toward "Frost Valley" and over the mountain to Route 28. Some of these Towns got really hammered last August, so it was good to see that they were getting things picked up and whipped back into shape.
    Stopped for lunch in Arkville at "Cha Cha's" BBQ... Good enough that I could have stayed the rest of the day there...
    A couple of us headed back to the barn at that point; we had Tink with us and didn't want to push her endurance too far this early in her ryding season.
    Here's a couple of pictures... the rest of the gang can add the much better ones...
    All told; we had 7 Spyders and one poor soul on a Yamaha. 3 RS/GS models and 4 RTs. We actually had all four RT models represented...

    Made it home in time to catch the last 40 laps of the race. Had a good time with everyone. Now it's time to go work some more getting the toy hauler ready for camping.

    Outside of one other incident about 30 years ago; first time I forgot to grab it for a trip...
    I'll blame it on the start of "Oldtimer's"...

    Glad to hear you had a great trip. I am a bit envious. We tried a ride also, but had to cut it short at 64 miles because my hip started acting up---grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    We will see what transpires next week. Going to meet up with the Gold Wing Riders in Wasilla and see what happens.

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles
