Reading IX Motorcade

[ridered777]

Hey guys,

Its a little early, I know. But I know SickSubie is also going, I'm wondering who else from around here is, maybe we can make a posse? I think NJ is a little outta the way (Sorry 94SubieSVX), unless you want to drive up towards us first, I think you'll be taking a different route.

Anyone else interested? I just want to have a few people to get lost & break down WITH...:p

Craig

PS - Nov. 11th meet, coming soon to a Vermont near you! ;)

[Evil One]

SVXAPEAL and myself are going and bringing our fraternal 4 wheeled twins.
Leaving from Holyoke Ma.

Hmmm...I'll be coming down from Ottawa, probably crossing the border at Ogdensburg, NY. Google Maps tells me to take I-81 to Scranton and then I-476 basically all the way to Morgantown. I'd be up for detouring a bit to meet up with a convoy.

Thats right where me and Greg would join the train.:cool:

And me and Melis, we'll be down Friday. When is everyone else planning on going to the BEST PLACE ON EARTH:D:D:D:D:D:D


Only 6 months to Reading!!!!!

Reading is my favorite holiday!

Given how many people seem to be meeting up there, I'd be up for that. We just need to get the Mass guys too, and we could have a certified, rolling mini-meet! :p

I'll have to get an exact spot/exit and then google earth to get directions to you. Oh, and I plan on going Friday too, just to answer Dave's question... I wouldn't miss it for the world! You guys have time when you'd be in that neck of the woods? Probably early, if you wanted to leave later it would make more sense to go Thursday because its a long drive, and leaving late friday would cause a day to be missed, which is obviously UNACCEPTABLE!

Sweet, so mini road meet in Scranton on Friday?:D:D:D Looks like it's about a 2 hour cruise (for the average car;)) from Scranton to Margantown.

Sweet, then its official.:banana:

[sicksubie]

I will definitely be at reading this year. Probably not for the whole weekend though. What is the deal with the November meet?

[94SubieSVX]

When is this happening?? Cuz I have off from school Nov. 6, 8, 9th. Might be able to make an overnighter out of it, or even make it at all.

[ridered777]

What is the deal with the November meet?

Details to come. Its going to be on a Sunday so Beefcake can hopefully make it, and the 8th to 11th is when 94SubieSVX told me he can make it, so we're looking to pull in a few more guys.

But the basic gist is a fun cruise up Rt.100 into VT.

Sounds good. If its only that far, perhaps some of the guys closer to here ( like SickSubie and others coming from Mass) could meet up closer? I think it'll be at least a 6hr drive for us, just off the top of my head, haven't even glanced at a map. So 2hrs isn't exactly the bulk of the trip...

Craig

[94SubieSVX]

If I am able to come, would I be able to just crash at someone's house? I'd probably end up camping out:p

You could crash here, I'm sure.

[94SubieSVX]

This is gonna be alot of gas for me:lol:

[ridered777]

Bah, I bet you FWD kids get better gas mileage than me! :p

[94SubieSVX]

Bah, I bet you FWD kids get better gas mileage than me! :p


I'd have to see how I do on a long trip like this, but other than that I'm not a kid damnit, I'm a grown a$$ man!!:lol::lol::lol:

[ridered777]

OK, so I consulted with my map.

I81/476 in Scranton is about 5.5 hrs from me, in NH. So probably its really closer to 4.5-5... :)

So what time were you guys planning on being in Scranton? This way I can have an estimated leave time. Also, I'll probably be heading pretty close to Hartford on the way out, so anyone in CT, and certainly Mass is welcome to tag along.

Craig

[sicksubie]

I am confused... Are you talking about coming this saturday to cumberland or are you already trying to coordinate times for a convoy to reading?



It is 2:30AM I just finished my car for the auto-x and my brain is not firing on all cylinders so forgive a possible stupid question.

Already coordinating Reading, hence the title.

Yes, I can't wait.:p

[94SubieSVX]

Ooo if that's the case(planning a convoy for reading), then I could just wait until you guys get a little bit closer to my area and meet up.

[AlcyoneDaze]

wheres Hamilton btw?

[~*~JenSVX~*~]

Will anyone be caravanning along this route...

:D:D:DWe gots us a convoy! (two cars, but that's good enough for me! I've never seen more than two SVXii in one place anyway!)

Oh, and we may have one more joining us near you Rob, I think he PM'd you?

My route looks similar, perhaps we could get a motorcade going...

Click me!!! (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=13+Manchester+Rd,+Amherst,+NH+03031&daddr=reading,+PA&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=46.409192,82.265625&ie=UTF8&z=8)

Snow, you and Crazy_Pilot are kind of out of the way for me...

I'll probably also be going down with David (Seraphinwolf) if he decides to go, and meeting up with Bobby (SickSubie) in Mass, and maybe even with Bill(94SubySVX) in NJ.

[Hocrest]

Yeah, it will add about 50 miles if you take this route through Scranton (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=16872132409950455638,41.382740,-75.664260&saddr=13+Manchester+Rd,+Amherst,+NH+03031&daddr=I-81+S+%4041.382740,+-75.664260+to:40.705628,-76.212158+to:reading,+PA&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp=2&sz=7&via=1,2&sll=41.95949,-73.33374&sspn=3.537115,7.382813&ie=UTF8&z=7).

I thought I posted here, but it must have been another thread...

We'll probably be leaving Scranton area around noon. If we need to wait an hour or so, let me know...

We can either take a direct route of about 2 hours? Or I can find a scenic fun route of about 3+ hours??

[LetItSnow]

Oh, and we may have one more joining us near you Rob, I think he PM'd you?
Yeh, so that gives us three by the time we hit Syracuse! :cool:

[Hocrest]

Any idea what your schedule is yet??

[LetItSnow]

I'm open to the timing and the option for a trip extension. We should hear from Crazy_pilot first - he's got a few hours just to get to my place!

While <Centralia (http://www.offroaders.com/album/centralia/centralia.htm)> is a little off the path, it's kind of interesting from here. A guy I know passed through there and took some pictures <posted here (http://imageevent.com/sleepr56/2006centraliapa?n=0&z=3&c=3&x=0&m=16&w=0&p=0)>. It's an idea, whether it's a good one or not. ;)

Yea that's basically the same route, maybe we'd meet when u got to 78 or something but we can figure that out as time gets closer... :) Yay for convoys!!

We can shoot through Centralia. It will add about an hour to the direct route. If others don't want to take that detour, I know that area well and can help out with directions. So that gives 5 SVX's from Scranton down.

There are three other member's in Scranton (all with Pearly's)... I'll try to make sure they see this... Hmmm, what color is the other car from Syracuse?

[Crazy_pilot]

I'll be booking all of Friday off, so I can head out any time. If we plan an arrival time I'll know better when to leave. I'm up for whatever sort of road trip we end up making this!
