Its an old railroad station. Its all right off the Hudson river and very popular finding roads. Several observation points and scenic view stops. Just a thought.

Meant to say great riding roads, funny how spell check works or doesn't for that matter.

I have been to Bear Mountain and the riding is great. However, we could go on forever about locations. What we need to do is this -
  • Find out how many people are interested and committed to this ride
  • Find a central location that has good riding and amenities for that list of riders that want to participate
  • Agree on a date that works for everyone interested or at least the Majority . .

Just my 2 cents. Maybe it is time to take a Poll for who is interested and where you live?

RE: Northeast U.S. Meet ?
We also need to first figure out if this is a one-day, meetup and ride, then go your own way back home, is it a two- day meetup and ride.. is it a 2, 3, or 4 day camping meetup?

If a central meetup with camping, sites have to be checked for availability dates for however many people will attend. And are there motels for the non-campers like me?

i am interested. i am on long island.
as far as dates i know i have a few weekends i am not available. (first weekend in june due to americade, the weekends around the fourth of july due to my wedding anniversary vacation and the weekend of aug 1st due to a cycle get together in ohio are all i can think of now)
i would think this should be planned as a weekend event.
you can make it 2,3 or 4 days depending on your preference.
arrive friday or saturday, depending on travel location (and if one can miss a workday)
depart sunday or monday , depending on travel location (and if one can miss a workday)
me personally would try to ride there friday and ride home on sunday.

If it is close enough - I would arrive Sat and leave Sunday other than that arrive Friday and leave Sunday
