Have fun, told you I couldn't make that date.

And considering NY isn't really in New England you should probably call it something different.

.......now you see....someone is always pulling my Chain....I was told it was called the North East Summer Rally.......but we can change it if bothers you....

  I didn't see a date listed in your post. Actually I got the impression from your post that you were to busy too make it at all  (regardless of the date). My bad, sorry.

  Last year was months of waiting, incorrect assumptions , and indecision. Personally I love the area we have used for the last rallies. This year I thought it might be nice to meet in an area that is a little more central to our group. Kev and I thought that it was important to get a date and area posted as soon as possible. I know my weekends are getting booked up quickly.

I have probably looked at what seems like a hundred web pages and have come up with a short list of possibilities. The hope is to find a large cabin or suite for a HQ, with rooms available for who ever decides to attend. I would like to make an initial reservation in the next week or so.

I'm looking forward to some nice riding in unfamiliar mountains, some good food (and drink), and telling some lies.

Here is what a rally looks like....IN CASE SOME OF YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN......

   Ok......so here it is.....the weekend of the 25 and 26th of July. We have 11 rooms reserved including the apartment (sleeps 6) at the Adirondack Hotel in Long Lake Village New York. You have until the 20th of April to reserve a room. It is 40,50 or 60 bucks per night per person based on double occupancy.... less if you add another person. There are a few lakeview rooms available and it is first come first serve. There are all sorts of facilities and amenities including airplane rides. These rooms won't last.....remember there is a cancellation policy, so don't hymn and haw...book and inform Margie that you are part of the FJ OWNERS group of reserved rooms. If something comes up and you have to cancel...you won't be penalized as long as you adhere to their cancellation policy !! Looking forward to seeing some old friends and meeting some new ones. There is a bar within the Hotel including kitchen and the water is just across the road. The riding , I hear is amazing !!!!     See you there......

Note that for much of the Adirondack park, there is no cell phone coverage.  Only in the bigger towns/ cities like Lake Placid/ Tupper Lake etc.  I do not know about the Long Lake area.  Just a point of observation to pass along.

Thanks for the info Dan.......will warn the attendees not to do what I did.......and wipe out....... . I think that's where you're going....

 Now that we have a base camp, I'll start mapping out some routes. I have ridden some of the area east and northeast of there. I will pre-ride some of it before July. Long Lake is a nice area, with plenty of food/drink at this resort and within walking distance. It is central to a lot of epic views and riding. Hope to see some old and new faces there...............

[CanDman]

 The cost of 40,50 or 60 is a bit misleading so let me make it clear. We have reserved 11 rooms including the 3 bedroom apartment. All the prices are per room per night. So attendees can pay anywhere from 25 dollars per night all the way up to 125 dollars per night depending on you want to spend. If you want to join us and are looking for a roomy....please speak up and talk it out. It is not going to happen by its self  ......no need to be shy......we all have one.......an FJ that is.....

 So I unfortunately cannot commit at this point. I would love to join you guys. However I have a week long ride planned for the end of June beginning of July. I could easily do this in a day from Viagara. So it is not a definite no, just a maybe. It sucks when people don't respond or commit. I understand. Game time decision.

Not to worry Johnnie, there are 2 rooms that are already booked so far and from the look of things, your situation is not unusual. I might just tie up the apartment which can sleep between 6 and 10....and that way, last minute or last second atendees will have a place to lay their heads. As soon as the pool opens, I will schedule a BBQ right away....that will definitely open the door for new attendees. Thanks for the post.....just need few more riders and we can officially call it a Rally......

PS......If you are able to make it, please consider staying at my place the night before, so the drive to the Rally isn't too much for you......I hope you like Tequila....

Booked my room today... see everyone there... 

[Bob]

Well, I had hoped to make it happen.

July 27 is my mom's 79th birthday. I tried to find another day to visit, but neither the week before nor after is open.
She lives in Windsor, so I'll be heading west instead of east.

So, have a great ride everyone. Sorry I'll be missing it.

Yeah thanks Glen and CanDman I move to NC and now you decide to have a rally in the Adirondacks. LOL. Wish I could make it to the rally. I have a friend in Tupperlake with a FJR and he would have been happy to show us all the fun twisty roads. I know he took me for one hell of a ride last year. But on a good note I will get to attend the ECSR in Boone NC for the first time in like 4 years and if any of you haven't ridden down south here you really need to attend. There are some of the best twisty roads I have ever ridden down here. Plus the pavement is in better condition do to the mild winters. Well good luck guys with you rally and be safe out there.

Last time I went down to Boone was in 2008. When did life get this busy?

Wow, I guess it has been that long.
