Quick list of some things along the way if anyone is interested in a quick stop for photo ops ect... I am in no rush to get anywhere, just as long as we reach our destination before 5pm for sure which should not be a problem.
Stops in MD, nothing really overly interesting as far as i am concerned so lets keep to the pavement and make some headway In PA, we will go past a Bison Farm, sometimes they are right next to the road which is kind of cool. There is a large windmill farm we will ride through We will either ride past, or a mile or so from Flight 93 memorial if anyone is interested in stopping On the way back we will ride past Blue Knob ski resort, one of higher peaks in PA, the lodge is at the top so we could ride up to the top for a quick stop and scenic view. There is some other local historic stuff that no one probably cares about so i guess that is about all of the interesting things i can think of... for now. |

Late to the party, but if you don't mind an FZ6R and a Ninja 650, my buddy Joe and I can probably make it work. Looks like you don't have a hard date on the books yet.
Btw, if you really wanted a bigger group, I could probably find 2-4 friends of mine to ride.

June 8th is a no go for me.
June 15th works though, unless my job happens to give me a boat load of extra work. So 15th it is? |

P.s. there's the slightest of possibilities I could do the 8th, but I wouldn't hold your breathe for it. I'll have already moved away by that point, and I need to come back for a job that opens on the 13th, but I was planning to drive for that one... who knows.

People that have shown interest, @Fappy @nycsteve @Sirref @MistahT @Z-Trob @Bob2010 @Miles_Prower Sorry for the delay on getting back to everyone. So today i talked everything over with everyone and I have the cabin booked for the weekend of June 8th. I know some people could not do the 8th and that some could not do the 15th so i just kind of blindly picked the 8th and figured the 15th could be a potential rain delay date.
So now that we have a date set in stone and an alternative if weather is utter crap that weekend lets get a list of people that are coming. Please just post and say you are coming and please let me know where you intend to meet the group. Meeting spots are as follows, MD people can meet us either in Frederick or Thurmont, Potentially Hagerstown. PA people you can meet us in Thurmont, Hagerstown, or Breezewood. If Thurmont is a reasonable point for PA people i suggest you meet us there as there are some good roads from their on the way to hagerstown and then some before breezewood. From Breezewood we will continue as a group to the destination and decide what to do with the rest of our time. Ready GO! P.S. anyone coming from more eastern MD can meet me before Frederick, and if no one is interested in meeting in Frederick i will bypass it and cut the corner to Thurmont up 75 i believe Last futzed with by subxero; May 25th, 2013 at 05:25 PM. |

Start time is flexible. Only thing is I am thinking it would be nice to get to the destination on Saturday before 3pm. Straight shot it would take me 3hrs, so with the non highway twisties and stops to meet people it will take over 4hrs.
Would be nice to be in Breezewood before 1pm so that would mean even people in phili would not have to get started on the road until 9:30ish at latest. If people are up for it I would like to be in Breezewood by 12 meaning people from phili would have to be on the road by 830ish give or take. As i stated earlier i am not responsible for planing other peoples routes to meet the group. It is up to you to get to one of the meeting points at the time we decide on in the end. People please give your opinions on when we would like to get to Breezewood as this will be the absolute final meeting point keep in mind how long it will take you to get there from your destination. Once we get and idea at what time we will have everyone together at breezewood i can estimate the other meeting times at the other locations to give everyone an idea when they would have to leave their place. My time line is as follows not knowing who is coming yet. I leave my place ~ 50min to Frederick, ~ another 25 min to Thurmont. If i meet someone in Frederick add 20min. Meet people in Thurmont, add 15min. ~ 1hr 45 min to Breezewood. So at most it should take Me ~3hrs and 35min to get to Breezewood meeting people in both Frederick and Thurmont. Meaning i leave at around 8:30am to be in Breezewood at 12pm. That sounds pretty reasonable time to start. Sorry for the thinking out loud |

I said in a previous post, If people want they can leave whenever, they do not have to stay Saturday night if they do not want to, but again they are responsible for themselves and plans. People that stay the night, we can either do an AM ride around area meet back for lunch at cabin then leave for home. Or we could just leave in the AM anytime and head home. I am flexible

Ok. Sorry for the dumb question, but could you try to map it out on google (I know you did it before, but I can't seem to find the link. I might be blind xD)
Post up the link for the latest planned route, and as long as I know the expected departure times I should be able to meet with you guys Saturday morning. |

From philly, depending on where you are in philly i see it you have two options the best time wise probably being that you head for Breezewood. Meet us there, You could take turn pike the whole way there ~ 3hrs if you are good at dealing with boredom. Other option is get up super early ride 2hrs and meet me just west of Baltimore then do the whole route from MD. Hopefully some other people who showed interest pop up here and verify that they are going and there might be someone close by you or on the way you could meet up with so you didn't have to do the whole philly to breezewood leg alone |

I may possibly leave from Mechanicsburg and meet you guys in Thurmont. Then make the trip out to Breezewood, peel off, and return back here.
Other option is to ride out to the Philly area, and join Fappy for the ride over and then back to Mechanicsburg. I'm fine either way, 5 hour rides are child's play

If you are in frederick county that is easy, meet us in Thurmont. If you are in Norther Harford, you could either meet me just west of Baltimore, or Maybe head north to meet someone up that direction coming from Philly area.

To everyone once again that showed interest. @Fappy @nycsteve @Sirref @MistahT @Z-Trob @Bob2010 @Miles_Prower I guess i am looking for a 100% positive head count for the weekend of Saturday the 8th. It seemed most people were flexible on the date as far as the 8th or the 15th except for Fappy who said he could not make the 15th.
Something rather important has just come up for me (setting up job interview) And i am thinking of switching the ride date to the 15th to make scheduling the interview easier as long as it does not hurt the turn for the ride because i am really looking forward to it. So as of right now it does not look like to many people are 100% go yet So lets see who is 100% go for the 8th, and who is 100% go for the 15th and i will weight the pros and cons. Sorry for the last minute uncertainty best, Joe |

I, for sure, cannot do the 8th.
I'm a maybe for the 15th. I have a something on my schedule for that day as well, but it looks to be falling through. If so, I'm in for the 15th. Will update as the date gets closer. |

Everything is still on for Saturday, But it seems like no one has confirmed that they will do the whole trip. Just Miles Prower and Fappy seem to be definite and will only be doing the Thurmont to Breezewood leg of the journey... which is going to be a good stretch.
I'm Still planning on doing the whole trip even by myself, it will be a good ride either way. I might be able to get someone else i know to do the trip but not 100% sure yet. I will txt them today. It seems like a lot of the Maryland riders that used to be on the forum quite a bit have been sparse ill see if i can dig up some people that might be interested As far as weather, like Miles said, looks like slight chance of thunder storms but the weather from eastern PA or MD to destination is generally completely different and unpredictable. I anticipate good weather. |

Some people that showed interest early on i have not seen around much lately
@rmorse @MXSteve89 @scorch Ill mention @tnr4 - if you are interested in joining up for a leg or the whole trip let me know. I can always come across MD and meet you near gaithersburg, Germantown where ever you are and head up to thurmont from there. |

Hey Joe,
Yeah, unfortunately I knew I wouldn't be able to go this weekend. I'm doing the ToughMudder! But we should definitely get more riding in later this summer. |
