Newb Ride Interest?

[bikepilot]

Yeah the first weekend I could potentially be free is Oct. 1-2, but don't feel like you've gotta schedule around me.  It isn't uncommon for something to happen on a friday afternoon that then spoils my weekend, though chances are I could sneak out for the ride on Sunday.

The wife is the one with the M620, though I've been known to borrow it with great frequency lately while my TL has been down for a refurbishing.

Assuming all goes well with the buell acquisition tomorrow I could even put on the bags and tote drinks/snacks and stuff

Given the response, I've updated the OP with the following:

We've definitely got interest...

In order to help plan a date (or dates) I ask you to participate in a quick Doodle Poll. Please visit http://www.doodle.com/3brq3gcq4st2qnz8 and select all days that work for you. I'll use this to figure out when we'll have critical mass. I've left off some dates due to prior commitments and/or potential trackdays.

[bikepilot]

Done, though my work precludes a hard commitment. 

[Meerkat]

Done...with the caveat that I may not ride the day before a track day depending on what time the leaving is happening.

Thanks to everyone for participating in the poll! I'm waiting on a few more to chime in before I close it.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that folks aren't committing to anything - it just helps me pick the best possible date(s).

I completely understand.

Thanks.  Pilette's attendance is pretty iffy so don't put much weight on Sat. vs. Sun on her behalf.

in plus 1 or 2

next weekend is looking pretty good on the poll...

I'm thinking Saturday, October 1.

That's the resched. day for Mods vs Rockers - could be a good place to end the ride.

Nice. A destination ride might be the way to go.

[AMGnDuc]

I'm in.

[Artful]

Plan it around Mods vs. Rockers and I'm in.

Plan it around Mods vs. Rockers and I'm in.

I'll need help putting together some roads over/up there.

I'm leaning towards meeting in DC and Bowie, riding a little bit of the Sunday haunt, and turning north towards Balmore. We can Mod vs Rock for a while, and I can lead a crew back into DC. I'll also have a couple of jumping-off points if folks want to peel away.

I'll post the route as we get closer to the date. And, as always, I'm wide open to suggestions.

That's my stomping ground so I can put together the northern leg. There aren't a lot of great roads over that way but if you want to head up early we can go a little northwest and there is some gold.

I'll shoot you a Google Map here shortly.
