Burger Run 2010 (Sun, April 25)

Still thinking about this.   

[Mrs. DantesDame]

I'm still trying to figure it out. So what I can see (read?) is that we're all meeting for lunch on Sunday. So why the motel reservations?    What's the general layout of this event?

I'm still trying to figure it out. So what I can see (read?) is that we're all meeting for lunch on Sunday. So why the motel reservations?    What's the general layout of this event?

As I understand it:

• Plan an interesting ride to the hotel to arrive on Saturday afternoon.
• Meet up with others in the parking lot and ride till dinnertime.
• Dinner w/other ST.Ners.
• Drinking, BSing and tall tails in the hotel parking lot till late.
• Breakfast at hotel on Sunday.
• Ride till lunchtime.
• More BSing at Denny's.
• Split for home.

I think that's the basic gist of it.  Basically a compressed version of ESTN.

I guess you could just leave your house first thing on Sunday, stay for lunch and then ride home.

While some people make this a day trip (Sunday for lunch at Denny's) many of us have decided to make a weekend of it.  There is really good riding north of I-80 and I know I try to tackle some of those roads on Saturday.  And, if you allow yourself 3-4 hours Sunday morning, there are some nice loops you can do before eating at Denny's.

And I like to buzz up to Galeton and see the old homestead.

Marcster and R Doug summed it up nicely.  There's more than enough interesting roads in the area to keep you busy Saturday and Sunday morning.  Plan on slabbing back home after lunch.

As for the roll call, I did that for ESTN because we needed a head count for t-shirts and dinner planning.  No reason to do that for the Burger Run, plus we get a lot of folks from outsite STN.

I have gone to this event every year since it started, and only last year did I stay over.  While it is fun to do it as a day trip, it is even more fun to enjoy Central PA roads and trails for those extra few hundred miles.  There will be routes and recommendations posted.  

There will be A LOT of people there on Sunday at lunch, and many of them aren't STN'ers (unless it rains), so staying over allows much more socializing time with STN'ers then a 1-2hr lunch can provide.  Plus there are many people that come from quite a distance, so staying over only makes sense.

I know for my self coming from NH that it is a 8 to 9 hour ride there so I sont want to hang out Sunday and then have to pound the slab home starting at 2 or 3 in the afternoon. I plan on staying SUnday night and then riding home on a nice route Monday.

Are you staying Saturday as well or planning on a 9-hour ride before lunch on Sunday?  

[Leebo]

Riding down Saturday .. attending what ever parking lot festivites that happen that night .. Also I can fit a case or 3 on my GS so there will be beer in my room too.

Thanks guys. The whole "get a hotel and have lunch the next day" thing was throwing me off. Dinner, breakfast AND lunch? That's a lot of eating!!!    

[squeezer]

Like there's something wrong with a meet and eat and eat and eat?

I have a box of 2x4" stickers here that I'll bring for name tags, and a box of sharpies.
