A New York kind of day.....

While visiting family was first and foremost, we did manage to eke out one day of great riding (remember, even a bad day of riding is better than a day of no riding). We headed out about 8:30 am and had breakfast at a local diner. Great food, terrific service and easy on the pocketbook...what more could you ask for?

From there we headed over to the local Tractor Supply to pick up some of the straps that Stu forget to get the day before. He is changing the tie-down method after losing the two D-rings on the trip up here. I found a great pair of work gloves and he got some great boot socks. Gotta love Tractor Supply stores!

Our next planned stop was Fred's Trailer where we hoped actually see and touch some motorcycle camper trailers. Our thoughts are to park the rig for a week or two next summer and take the trike & a small bike camper off to sight-see for a few days. We plugged the address into the GPS and took off. Well, we ended up in a dead-end residential neighborhood. Hmmmm..... Since the Woodstock Harley-Davidson dealer wasn't too far away, we headed there next and planned to call Fred's to find out where we had gone wrong.



The Woodstock HD dealer was smaller than we anticipated but we did both manage to get a nice full-zip sweatshirt with their great logo on the back. We sat outside and tried to find out more about Fred's. Not much luck, the lady answering the phone gave us the impression it might be home based and the only trailers they had wouldn't be there until 'Fred' arrived home from a bike event the next day.

So we headed northerly on a general route, figuring we'd pick up lunch soon and then take a another look at where we would go. We stopped for gas just outside Catskill State Park and ended up grabbing a snack there. From there we rode through the park, following along side a large reservoir before heading south. The leaves were starting to change, the weather was perfect and once again I took too many photos. Here are a few from the day, you can see the rest in my SmugMug gallery.



The last photo was taken in the little town of Roscoe, NY where we stopped for dinner before heading home. We knew the sun would be setting and we had a ways to go. The rest of the ride was gorgeous and we finally made it back at around 8:30 that night. Can you say sore seat? LOL!!

Till next time - keep on rollin',
