2012 Adacks Ride 6-16-12

[Fred W]

maybe we could get setup in the parkinglot out by the road maybe next to the grass (and salute the HD guys going by)

Nah, won't be any HD pirates going by. They are all up here!

That's one reason we are so happy to head over to NY.

So ur sayn it's a no Pirate weekend?

Fat(boy) chance on that one, we have plenty of em here in NY... in fact I think we got all the stuck-up a-hole ones right here in central NY!. But still look forward to coming anyways, we'll salute them with an ice-cold beer as they go by us as muttering fine things about us :clapping:

Besides I like Halloween and dress up so it's "yar bring on dem dare pie-rates" argh argh

You missed my point. This is the big Laconia weekend! All the pirates are in New Hampshire this weekend.

Yes I have a work call that is in laconia. I am putting it off for monday. and no one is complaining..

Bike weekend here in NH. Go anywhere but North!

 

[wnyfjr]

Pizza and beer in the parking lot is good for us. We'll BYOB for a significant discount over drinks in a restaurant.

Looks like we'll be rolling in around 8PM so you'll all get a head start on us.

We're probably not going to arrive until around 10pm. We'll look for the unruly crowd in the parking lot!

 

[amishfjr]

Here's my simple 10-step Itinerary for Friday 6/15/12

1* Leaving house ~5pm (Jtown should be about a 2-1/2hr ride for me)

2* Check-in, 7-8pm is ETA to Super8 (and Art u don't have to leave the light on for me, all daylite hopefully!)

3* Go to store and buy Beer (Important!)

4* Meet n Greet in S8 parking lot, yes I volunteered to make the name tags so I will be there.

5* Seek hott Adirondack wood splitting women (OK, this may be a very "hard" task to accomplish in the 'Daks)

6* Get happy with new friends and salute HD Pirates going by

7* Repeat step 5

8* Learn new tricks from some old time FJRers ..and hope I don't come home w too many farkle ideas

9* Repeat step 5

10* Pass out without an Adirondack belly-warmer BUT excited for the upcoming ride Sat.

OK, if you can't tell by now, I'm definitely not all there... lmao

[Fred W]

Hey. I don't wanna jinx this thing, but...

5 Day forecast for Johnstown, NY on weather.com

We gonna have ourselves a good ole' time, yes we are. :yahoo:

 

[FJRPittsburgh]

The weather looks fabulous for the weekend. I take a number of 3 and 4 day bike trips each year and I almost always have to fight the heaviest of rains. This trip looks like it's going to be sensational weather wise. I'll be heading up on Friday and will stop in at the Super 8 with cigars and beer in the early evening. Somebody's got to do it. lol I'm sure I won't be alone. Maybe some of the early attendees will want to go and grab a bite to eat. Ride safely everyone.

 

[road runner]

Well, Felicia went and ordered 120 chicken wings for Friday nite parking lot social. So after work I'll be running home to get an easy-up, some chairs, folding table, and wings, then going to set up at super 8 by 7:00. Super 8 manager said it would be OK, and if we're good then maybe next year we can get room disconts. I'll donate the wings if you all want to BYOB, and if you want to pitch in for pizza or something I'll go get it.

is it friday yet ?

Hey Gang

It's official. The ride is going to be on 6-16-12, rain date 6-17. Be there or be square :yahoo: . The ride will start/end at the McDonalds in Johnstown NY. Kick stand up at 9:00 AM. So get there early if you want to get a coffee and socialize. We'll be taking a scenic and twisty 324 mile route threw the Adirondacks. Stopping at a BBQ place just outside of Lake Placid for lunch, ending up back in Johnstown around 6:00.

The first half of the route will be more Scenic Byway than twisty. It will be a good warm up for after lunch. After lunch we go to Lake Placid for coffee if you want, then we head south for some really scenic, some tight twisties, and some nice sweepers. The second half of the day has it all so eat a hardy lunch and be ready to enjoy the ride. There are plenty of gas and restroom spots along the way that we can stop at, and if no one needs anything we'll keep going so we get back on time.

Like any ride "Ride Your Own Ride". It's not a race, it's about having fun. I will be riding at 10 over for the most part, and I will wait at every turn so as to not lose anyone.

Any bike is allowed, all that I ask is that any loud pipes bring up the tail so as to not bug anyone.

We can go to the Travers Diner for dinner as a group or you can go to a number of chain diners within 1/4 mile of the starting/ending point.

For those who need lodging here are 3 that are within 1/2 mile of the starting point. Super 8, Holiday Inn, Microtel

Post up here if your going and I'll add you to the list.

Hey Ed. I'm probably going to be in the same area Friday. Thinking about heading towards 30 from 28 coming from the Ashokan Resevoir but nothing definite yet. If you got any time frame going, give a shout and maybe we can meet up somewhere. - Mike

 

[Geezer]

Yumm, chicken wings, beer, and good friends. Friday evening is going to be great.

Yeah, I know of one in Amsterdam (by work), but to far to deliver. I'll check into one closer that will deliver, or maybe I'll bring it from Amsterdam, but it will be cold by 8:00. We were also thinking of bringing some potato, and mac salad. So if you don't mind the salads and wings there should be enough for all to eat Friday night.

Good by me. We can always seek out some good 'zzas on Saturday night.

But you should put out a jar for donations to help defray the costs. Your arranging everything is more than generous enough.

 

[Top_Speed1]

Agree w Fred, BYOB and donation jar for Art. If wings n things come up short we just chipin 4 delivery.

This might have to be an annual event if all goes like it's sounding. Maybe tweak the route a bit ea year.
