I'm looking for more info on the 10-5 event, not so much how to get there from here (Northern NJ), but what the route for that day is.

But maybe I'm misreading the post, thinking it's a ride planned around a meeting & eating place instead of what it is -- a meeting place to eat, and everyone get's there on their own.

They are simply a great central destinations with great food, surrounded by good riding... the rest is up to you. There will be quite a few folks coming for these meets from lower and central NY, CT, MA, probably RI, NJ and LI as well if you are looking to share some of the ride. Most of those will probably be from the st-owners board. The 10.5 at Curtis' will be the smaller group, the Bennington meet pulls folks from all over.

I thought I could and was looking forward to it. Now it turns out both those dates fall on the weekends I have to work in OCT. My schedule calls for work every other weekend, unfortunately, it falls on both RTE  dates.

That's a drag, man... the weekend thing is likely to become part of my reality soon with the new work gig...  Sad

The Bennington gig does have a back up date of the following Sunday in case the weather really sucks... there are enough folks interested in coming from pretty good distances that could push it back a week if it creates a more inclusive situation... stay tuned.

We'll do it again in the spring, maybe that'll work out better.

Not sure on attendance, (from limited number of ST'N posts I'd say low St'rs but GRN is a ST1300 group member too. Fact, I've ridden with his folks and their great.
I was born in Bennington in 56', it is on the NY/VT border. Rt 9 VT goes thru Benn, turns to Rt 7 NY at the border which is about 6 or 7 mi west from Benn proper.

This usually draws 20+ bikes twice a year (beginning and end of season) from all over, one regular from Long Island, some guys from NJ, western NY, and of course southern New England. It's a mix of folks from the ST13, Sprint/RAT, and some from this and the NER forums.. great crew, good food, lots of good roads in every direction... how many excuses do you need?  Bigok

Heads up in the AM tomorrow folks... had black ice up here this AM, gonna be mid 20's again tonight. Riders from the south probably don't have as much to be concerned about, but keep the eyes up regardless. We're shortening our route down and leaving an hour later to take it out of the mix as much as possible.

There was some guys there from this board in Bennington? What a bunch of great bikes out front. Both sides of the street! Talked with a guy with a yellow BMW R1200S. I think. Only 400 something pounds R12. That's got to be fun! I don't know if he is from the board. Sweet ride!
I was there as well. Icon reflective vest. Silver Honda ST1300 "Quicksilver" with top box and "extra" black mirrors fastened to the stock mirrors.
Greg. Great RTE as always. See you next year?
