I really would like to get up your way to ride, too, Ray! Great roads and scenery up there! My son just returned from Burlington, VT after his 4 year stint at UVM. Every time I planned to ride up to see him on the Beast, the weather devils reared their ugly little heads. I am a steadfast, fair weather rider, so I choose my spots carefully.
There's some truly great riding down here, too (not comparable to where you are, though, an area I'm reasonably familiar with), so you have an open invitation to come and enjoy a well- guided tour of my backyard.
We should talk, so I'll send you a Private Message (Conversation) with my cell #. Look forward to chatting...
