Unofficial Caravan to B. G.
Here Ye, Here Ye, to all the Northeast ZR-oners that what to try to organize a caravan to BG post up here and we'll try to sort something out that works for all of us.
Anyone up for herding cats? Okay so I'll start since I'm here already! Going down on Tuesday May 15 at around 6AM and arrive at BG about 8 or 9 PM ( 7 or 8 PM local time ). For me it's a 14 hr trip so I would normally leave NYC/Metro suburbs at around 6 to 6:30 AM. Coming back to NYC/Metro suburbs on Sunday May 20....leave BG at Oh-dark-thirty as it's the same 14 hrs even though it's all uphill! Tom Registration is now open at the NCM website...so go and register!

Re: Unofficial Caravan to B. G.
Tom, you're about 4 hours from me, so that makes it an 18 hour drive for me. I thought more like 24 hours. So I guess it's a one day trip, but I'll need some breaks. That's a lot of driving.
What do we register for at the NCM? Steve |

We can only register for the event itself, and the banquet on Saturday night.....so that's what i did. On the caravan idea of mine.... it looks to be a tough nut to crack. We could all meet up in Harrisburg PA as it looks like the closest intercept point for you and I. I just don't know much right now as I haven't studied a map to actually try to pick out what roads you would use to get to BG from your home. I was figuring you might use 81S from your neck of the woods? Anyway we have some time to sort this all out. Tom

Re: Unofficial Caravan to B. G.
I will certainly post on my impression of the tires. Rears only by the way.
I'll get registered for NCM. I'll be coming right through NYC. Pick a time and a place outside the city. Sounds like you want to get started around 6:00, that means i leave around 2:00A. Gets me out of all the cities pre traffic. |

Steve,
The CT Turnpike should be OK @ that time of day, any other time it's terrible but ya still have to deal w/NY and NJ. I'll be riding shotgun w/Tom Tom. You might consider RT 84 to 81 Doug |
