Which ride? They all look good!

Am I the only one having trouble deciding which ride to join or take on Saturday? It might end up being a game time decision for me . . .

What is your riding style? What are you riding? We had one really fast Bonneville last year on the sport bike ride which was mostly Sprints ans Speed Triples and we all had a blast.

All rides are great, I wished I could go on more than one. The BBQ ride on Friday is basically the PUTNEY ride. The Saturday rides are awesome. Enjoy!

Any ride going by Rosies for dinner is a great choice! I ate there last summer following the recommendation on the gaps ride, and have eaten there several times since, the last being this past Monday. Great food and great roads!

Another time you're in Middlebury, check out the Two Brother's tavern. My cousin is the head chef (his step dad is a chef at Rosies too, coincidentally). Good burgers!

I'm riding a Thruxton. It's still relatively new to me - I only have 600 miles on her. I think I'll do the Adirondacks ride.

Mark is a great tour guide and will take you on a few nice twisty roads. I wished I could go on your ride.

Tito,

Is the Aderondack ride going on the Tracy Road? If so, that does sound like a great ride, as do they all. I am thinking about coming with you, but am concerned that I might get laughed at for having both wheels on the ground most of the time.

I am very interested in the sport ride, but concerned that pace might be a bit much.

We'll see how dry the roads appear to be.

Larry, the Adirondack Ride is indeed hitting T Rd (as long as it doesn't rain), as well as several other twisty roads. The pace will be spirited in the twisties but elsewhere we'll be keeping it within 10mph or so of the speed limit because of strong police presence in upstate NY.
