Anyway - im going to look at some rides through the garmin website - theres some nice ones laid out.

Hey how about an occ trip? I know we dont have American made bikes, but I dont think those guys would be upset

just a thought

That highpoint trip sounds awesome, lets plan on that unless you can dig up something even cooler on the garmin site (I sooooo want a Zumo!!). I'd like to do an OCC trip as well but I'd devote 4 or 5 days to that just so I could spend some time at lake george and lake placid.

hey i just found this thing called geocaching

on trhe garmin website

Its wild... poeple who have garmins look up these spots where there is a log book and sometimes other things and they get to travel there and make a note in the book and leave something for the next person - its cool!

Yeah me and my buddy attempted to go geocaching years ago... it didn't go so well. I think I've posted about it before on this site, let me see if I can find it.

Mercury · 08-28-2007

there is only one route down in this zip code off the garmin website: 07726

i did fine a 126 mile ride by me.. i think i should do my 80 mile ride again that i did last night and log it for the garmin people

Mercury · 09-02-2007

Would have to start early in the day, but yeah, I just did 280 miles to NY last weekend and I felt like i could ride even more - let me ask my old man - he has a classic 800 but is not part of the forum

I am interested in BBQ - food is always a plus - but ill just bet we will have to eat lunch somewhere on the road too

Hey as Alton Brown put it, if you dont stop every couple of hours or so to eat, you aint riding

dave007 · 09-03-2007

Mercury · 09-03-2007

No problem, this is pretty short notice so I'm trying to figure out what will work best for everyone. Just for curiosity's sake, how do your schedules look for the 23rd, 29th, or 30th?

*ispeed77* · 09-03-2007

29th and 30th i will be in Harrisburg PA with a group from here. we are getting together for a charity ride / forum getogether. there is a thread about it.
