Americade

[fastfraser]

Drove for about 8 hrs. from Ontario Canada in 48 F temps .Arrived in Lake George about 2 and it started to rain . Headed out to Fort Ann to see the Magic Man (ESI) in the pouring rain get there and there is the trailer all set up! But closed and no one around it's only 3:45 pm sure it's raining but they work under cover and I only wanted to buy product ! Oh well ! Thursday morning hope to hook up with Rnet for the Spyder ride into Vermont . But guess what calling for thunder storms all day ! Great ! Oh well we came to ride rain or not. Friday is supposed to be the good day and we have a boat tour booked and guess what rain on Saturday.

Rain In Upper State NY in June?

I feel your pain with the rain at Americade. The last few years I went to Lake George there were severe thunderstorms rolling through the hills every afternoon. I really miss not going this year on the Spyder, but the wife was quick to remind me of how unpleasant it was to camp and ride in the pouring rain and she reinforced her message by reminding me that we are off to Chicago in a few weeks. :lecturef_smilie:

Hope you are having a great time riding on those wonderful roads in the Adirondacks. I am envious.

New York state gets hit with a lot of storms and we JUST had a hour of tornado warnings in CT but as I watch on internet radar they always seem to go to each side of my town and usually miss us!:dontknow:

Just got this from Magic Man :yikes:

Makes you really want to get on your bike and go buy something?:dontknow:

That was one of three storms that hit today. The third we we able to get out of there before it got nasty again!

Rain + motorcycle rally = very low attendance!

:2thumbs: Had a good ride with 10 :spyder2: in total. Overcast most of the day. Stopped for lunch at about 1 just in time as it poured buckets while we chowed down. Headed out to see some locks and got caught in the pouring rain. We had stopped to put on rain gear and a group of Harleys about 8 passed us,then about 10 mins. Latter we pass them all huddled under cover at a gas station while we plowed on . All in all met some old friends and made some new ones as well . The roads where great and hats of to Rnet for putting together this event.
