[EVENT]Catskill Mtn. Cruise 10/14

Hey guys, I would like to invite you to a great cruise. It's already set-up, I spoke to my friend Bob who set it up about posting it here, and he said,"The more the merrier" Bob is an elderly gentleman and knows the Catskills beter than anyone (I guess by hiding out from the fuzz in the 60's LOL). Anyways, we would like you guys to join us this Saturday 14th. It's in 3 parts so, stay on the run for any part. As some are thinking, "I dont want to be with these aholes racing, LOL", well this is a mature crowd get together, so you'll enjoy the drive and the scenery......... Oh, and we are stopping at a corn field to do a maze.

Thanks for the response, Bob's runs are the most interesting I've been on. This spring he took us out on a Buffalo Run, Yup there is a Buffalo ranch on the North Shore of Long Island. I felt like I was in 5th grade going on a class trip lol

 

Well you guys missed out on a great run.

check out the video towards the end of the thread, We did have to NYS Troopers looking for us. As we got off rt.17 at exit 119, the were racing to get to 17 as they claim they recieved a couple on 911 calls. They didnt bust our chops and turned out to be pretty cool.
