Event itinerary
We've received feedback the past couple of years that some people missed the more structured events we did prior to the pandemic, while others like the freeform nature of the past few years. So this year we've decided to keep things a bit looser on Friday, but we're looking at bringing back the BBQ we used to do Friday nights, but have it on Saturday this year, though we're still working on a vendor so the food may be something other than BBQ. Here's the basic outline of events.
Thursday, May 28, 2026
The Bennington Triumph Bash doesn’t officially begin until Friday, but many of us will be arriving throughout the day on Thursday. People will meet up for dinner, and those of us camping will get together at the Greenwood Campsites later in the evening.
Friday, May 29, 2026
Arrive in Bennington, check into hotels, etc. If you’re already around and want to meet up with other folks for a ride, swing by the Hotel Vervana. There's nearly always people hanging out in front.
1:30-6:00pm
Meet in the parking lot of the Hotel Vervana (note for longtime attendees -- this is the place that used to be known as the Paradise Inn). Hang out, say hi to everyone, head out for a short ride with new and old friends, or just relax with a beer and some great company.
6:00-whenever pm
We're not making any specific dinner plans. We may place an order for pizzas to be delivered, or, of course, smaller groups can head over to any of the restaurants in town. After dinner, continue to hang out, or walk into town to hit up the bars, or head up to the Greenwood campground for campfires and conversation.
Saturday, May 30, 2026
We're leaving the day open for people to do whatever they feel like with other Bash attendees. Head over to Hemmings Motor News to check out their museum, or head out on a ride with friends. Make sure to chat with fellow attendees Friday, because there will definitely be groups heading out for rides. If you don't know anyone there and want to figure out what's going on, ask around for Mark or Alan. Or just look for the two really tall guys.
7:00pm
Saturday evening dinner at the Hotel Vervana. We're looking at options for having a BBQ outfit, taco truck, or similar come in. More info to come.
Sunday, May 31, 2026
Sleep in, meet up with newfound friends for breakfast if you feel like it, then ride out and head homewards.
