Fall Colors / Burger Challenge RTE Weekend

[Wine Guy]

I'm in for Saturday if I'm able to snag the pull out couch KJ. On a semi retirement budget yaknow. I have a commitment during the day but should be able to be down at EVL by 6pm. If not, I'll do a day trip on Sunday. Let me know.

I REALLY want to make this but I'm on a "no joke, broke" budget at the moment... If anyone wants to share, let me know - I'll even take floor space!

If rooming doesn't work out, maybe I'll just meet everyone @ Denny's on Sunday.

KJ what are doing for breakfast Sunday morning? Thinking about having some Corn Flakes to start your day?

 

[Wine Guy]

If you want to stay overnight in Ellicottville, there IS a more economical choice. The Edelweiss Ski Lodge has chalets and a hotel. If you go through booking.com, you can get a room starting at $109 US with a free cancellation policy if you cancel by October 13th. It's stumbling distance to downtown (a block and a half away from Ellicottville Brewing Company). Rooms are booking up pretty quick.

Just go to www.booking.com and search Ellicottville, NY.

You're welcome!

Mel decided she's not coming. It's a little too far for her, and she doesn't want to worry about keeping up/slowing us down. (I know this would not be an issue for us, but she's made up her mind.)

I'm still trying to round up a few more guys, but you know how it is. It gets cold in that vest and brain bucket.

Awe! Debbie was hoping for some female company!

It looks like a little bit of a warmer ride than last year, but have GoJo put on his full leather!

More riders?, bring 'em on!

 

[LCB]

I'll be there but staying in Bradford - sorry for the last-minute confirm!

Great to hear Lisa! Yahooie!

So, Bradford is exactly 25mi from Ellicotteville. Somehow, someway, I just seem to frequent them both a lot and know this Pennsyltucky stuff.

What's you plans? Coming up for the EBC Dinner Sat night? We will have our mandatory tire-kicking social in the parking lot prior, pretty good meetup also. I'm not sure about Mike and Charlie's ETA, but I'd say 5pm at the latest for this?

You are also enroute for our group ride on the way down Sunday (from Ellicotteville), we can make a sidebar and meet you up.... post me what Bradford lodging you will be at. And if we leave Ellicotteville at 9am, we will be at your Bradford motel by 9:30am.

Now we just got o get one of our riders to do the pub challenge!.... makes this a really fun RTE!

 

[El Toro Joe]

I might try and meet you's on Sunday at the restaurant...not doing the challenge though

 

[LCB]

ETA is late Sat afternoon - not sure if I'm riding or driving but I'll be there with a guest. Planning on lots-o-fun @ EBC and the ride to Denny's on Sun.

I'll be checking in at the Best Western in Bradford before heading north Sat night. Meeting @ BW Sun AM would be great unless it takes away from some twisties on the way to Clearfield... you decide - I'll be fine either way.

 

[LCB]

Crap - and just like that... I'm out. Total change of plans so I won't be able to make it.

You guys have fun and stay safe!!

Dang it! We'll miss ya Lisa n guest. Hopefully next years Fall-Colors RTE (it may be elsewhere however?)

*side-note* try reserving '17 Memorial Day Weekend for Wellsboro's "Penn Run" ??. I skipped it this year and had lots of peeps wanting it back, so this winter I'll contact the lodge and reserve us a block of rooms.

-------------------------------------

Fall Colors RTE; 24 hrs to launch (for us earlybirds anyways doing EBC Sat afternoon/nite).

 

[LCB]

I've always wanted to make that ride but Memorial day is already committed to the 2017 Yosemite trip.

Yes, I'll try to meet you there also! I'm with Joe on the no challenge part.

 

[BkerChuck]
