How about we schedule the ride for Sunday, October 11th.
Also have a back-up date of Sunday October 18th if Mystic gets pushed out or we need a rain date. Keep both Sunday's open.
If you don't mind, I am working up a scenic route with a great eat spot.

Here is an update to the dates. Anyone saying "any date" or not choosing a date was not included.
I like bullmarket's plans and his (usual) choices for grub, but we cannot make 10/11, (we will be away in DE).
If the group plans that, so be it. Their will be other events.
Trying to summarize everyone's choice on the Foliage Run only.
Any others interested, post and I will tabulate, (if you didn't specify a date in prior posts, I did not include you).

I'm likely in for this one too, not picky when. There are some good places to eat in Bennington too. The Madison Brewery is good, but I'm not sure if they have more parking out back. (just another thought.) The Rt-2 run sounds like fun, I've done Rt-7 to Bennington then across rt-9 back to 91 several times too.

Not to muddy the waters, but the ride to Bennington is awesome. We took part of Route 7 on the way home from the show last weekend and it was a nice ride. We could meet up, drive out 44 to 7 head up to Bennington. There are a lot of shops for those that want to shop, and if I remember correctly, Craig and I ate at an old train station when we were there.
We're good for any weekend but the first two in October. The sooner we know which it is, the better for us because something always tends to come up and we really want to get in a couple more rides before the ww...win.....can't say it. The summer has gone by much too quickly!

Lookin' like Sunday, October 18th fits in the most peeps.
Let's lock this in as the date.
I have a scenic, country road route planned; starting with breakfast at Ike's in Enfield, CT (or just meet up there). Leave at 8:00, heading north. I have two scenic stops with beautiful views ($2 park fees) and two shopping spots for the ladies with an awesome BBQ spot for lunch at around 1:30.
It's about 100 miles total for the ride plus your cruise home; so probably 125-150 miles max.
You may even make it home in time to watch the Patriot's play the Titan's; or whoever else you may watch.
Lead, follow or get out of the way. Sign up below for a nice fall cruise.

Dave, if we are leaving at 8:00 AM, at what time are we meeting for breakfast at Ike's and at what time does Ike's opens up?

Even though we are close, the early hour may keep us from making breakfast. Any thoughts about eating at 8 and leave at 9 ?
so the C-dogg and I.
We're in, probably for breakfast but be there no later than 9.

Any guess on when we'll be back in CT? Just curious, found out I have a commitment later in the day on the 18th, worst case I'll have to split for home after lunch, I'm not missing good BBQ!!! -Dan
