Bennington Triumph Bash

This is going to be a long day at work, no let me rephrase that. This is a long day.
I have the rest of the day today to get through then one more day tomorrow.
I will be heading north at some point Thursday morning.
I am looking forward to seeing friends from last year and meeting new friends this year.

I know exactly what your talking about. I'll be leaving Ct Thursday afternoon.

Same here. Heading south Thursday around midday.

Out the door 9 AM Thurs. I hope to be there about 12:30. I'm going to take the scenic route. Rt 7 to Rt 341-Rt 41-Rt 22.

I will be heading up solo. It looks like about 200 miles estimated time is around 4 hr.
I am going to hit the supper slab for most of the ride up.
Route 146 to through RI. (rt.90 the Mass pike) then up 91 then up 112 to route 9 in to Bennington.
I will probably be heading out around 9/10 in the morning.
I will be up there by late afternoon 2/3 pm.
I plan on checking in to my hotel then head over to the camp ground.
Then I will ride down the mountain to Bennington with the camping crew.
Long day today here at work, it will be even longer tomorrow.

I'm heading up Thursday Morning I think. I'm on vacation this week, so I'll get ready as soon as I drag myself out of bed.....I'm hoping to get there about 2ish...

Looking forward to meeting you Bill.
You are going to have to leave pretty early if you plan on getting up there by 2
It's got to be at least an 8 hr. ride.
I rode my Bonny down there a last summer about 9 hr. to Harrisburg.
Bill

I'm leaving Maine at 5:00 or 5:30, riding solo this so I'm taking the long way down. Plan on getting there when I get there. I can't wait to here the stories of the past year around the campfires.

Oh yeah, I have to work a 12hour shift wednesday. 7:30 to 7:30, head home and load the bike!

You have friends? How much did they cost?

But seriously. I will be leaving here around 3 or 4 Bill. If you want to delay your departure and hook up that would be good. I am probably going to blow out of work at 2:30 instead of 3:30. They should be cool with that seeing everybody blew out early last Friday and I stayed. I know a hell of a lot of better ways to get there then the way your gonna go. I guarantee a better ride than the way your gonna go.

I have a baseball game with my son after work tomorrow night (Wednesday)
I will be packing as soon as I get home.

I hear you Brian, There are many, many much better roads I could take to get there.
My plan is to hammer down on the slab at least till I get up around the Berkshires.
Then I might do the Mohawk trail then up 8 to rt.9

I also want to check out a rest area on the pike that I am going to meet a bunch of
MY FRIENDS in a couple of weeks for another bike run up to the Adirondacks.

email me your cell number and if I can hold out till later in the day I will call you.

20 more hours of work, a short nap then I'll be on my way. 8+ hours should put me in Bennington around 12:30 in time for the meet n greet.

Looking forward to seeing you all again.

I can get there in under 6 hours in a big Truck. I figure I'll do mainly Superslab, I'm figuring about 6.5( I can go much faster on the bike.) But anyway, 4 is ok too....

I'm leaving here at 4:30 am. I did it the last 2 years & made it ok, so I should make it. If not, I'll jump on the highway & open it up:)

This event is too important to wait. I'm leaving tomorrow A.M.

See you all on Thursday!
